WHERE TO PROMOTE YOUR BLOG POSTS ONCE YOU’VE PUBLISHED THEM

45 Comments

So,

I already shared with you how you can promote your blog posts effectively in my previous posts and today I am back to tell you where you can be able to do that in order to get the most traffic to your site. Honestly, when I first started, I wrote my posts, published them and did nothing else, I guess I thought that I would get organic traffic instantly without doing anything which was so naive of me to even think like that, I needed to share my posts and share them in different platforms in order to get the best outcome and  increase my blog’s traffic. So today I am here to share with you where to promote your blog posts once you’ve published them.

WHERE TO PROMOTE YOUR BLOG POSTS ONCE YOU'VE PUBLISHED THEM

1. Facebook

This is really self-explanatory, all you have to do is start sharing through your account or page if you have created one. Even better, join blogger groups in Facebook and start sharing like nobody’s business, just remember to follow the rules of each group to avoid being penalised by being removed from the group.

2. Google +

I have been sharing to G+ for some time now, it doesn’t give me that much traffic but I will take any that I can get so it’s good to give it a try and check it out. What do you have to lose?

3. Twitter

Twitter is always a great place to promote your blog posts and you can do it multiple times during the day and get people to notice your posts and drop in by your blog.

4. Pinterest

Now if you don’t already know by now that Pinterest can really be a good source of traffic for you then I have no idea where you’ve been, but it’s all good because you still have time. All you have to do is learn how to use it effectively and how it can also boost your traffic then go straight to work and make it happen. I promise you, it will not disappoint if done right.

5. Tumblr

I used to use Tumblr a long time ago but then stopped using my account and now I see how useful it can be. If you have an account don’t forget to share your posts there too.

6. Reddit

I just opened an account on Reddit and honestly, I have been hearing great things about promoting blog posts on it and how it can get you loads of traffic but I am still getting into grips with it on how it works and what the rules are before I go crazy and drop my links there. Also, I read that one cannot spam with so many posts since it can decide to remove you or block you. Anyway, once I am sure of how my posts will do there then I will come back and give you my opinion.

7. Instagram

We all know how insta is doing great and how if you really leverage it, then you can have all the traffic you desire. I am still not there yet but I know my problem is consistency and I’m working on that. If you have a great following, don’t forget to share your blog posts with them too.

8. Mix

Formerly known as Stumbleupon, this is a great place to promote your blog posts. Plus the best part is you get to put down the category your post falls in or even narrow it down to your specific niche and wait for your traffic to start rolling in. I need to get back on this, it’s been a while.

9. Youtube

I just created a  channel and started posting on Youtube but it’s mostly on the food side of my blog, so all the homecooked meals I prepare can be found there, do check it out and subscribe. Youtube is a great place to share your blog posts and if you have many subscribers then there is your traffic, so long as you post what your audience would love to read and watch.

10. Email list

Your email list is also another place where you can be able to promote your blog posts since if you send your subscribers a newsletter or something else every week or monthly, then that’s where you can be able to tell them what’s new and what blog posts are up on your blog thus getting more traffic.

11. Linkedin

This is one of the recent places I have seen that you actually can promote your blog posts once you have published them. We all know that Linkedin has businesses on there, bloggers and many entrepreneurs. This can not only get you sponsored posts but also traffic from other like-minded people and bloggers within your niche.

12. Medium

I do tend to forget sometimes that I have an account in medium but I end up coming back to it and posting my blog posts there. It has brought me tons of traffic and I will be continuing promoting on there. The best part about medium is that you can actually just write your posts straight away there or copy-paste your article from your blog.

That’s it, everyone, those are some of the places I know you can promote your blog posts once you’ve published them, I know there are loads more that I have not discovered yet or don’t know much about like Quora but if you do know more places, do tell me in the comments below and help me out too. If you haven’t started a blog yet, check this step by step post out and get you going with it. So, until next time, tell me where do you often promote your blog posts?

  1. Thank you so much for sharing these great tools! I love all the great tips and the fact that you share your knowledge with the community. Thank you so much!

  2. I use a lot of these, but honestly you still need traffic to tjose other sites too. I am experimenting with redfit and tripogo and other sites where the traffic is built in.

  4. I never forget about Medium but I do tend to forget about reditt. Thanks for making the list we all need!

  7. These are some great tips! Did you hear that G+ is likely going to be closing, will be interesting to see how it affects things in the longterm.

  8. Awesome tips. I am already using some of them, however I have been thinking about email marketing recently. Will definitely apply these tips.

  11. So instead of writing post after post, spend some time getting people to read the ones you’ve already written. Try some of the above tasks on your older posts, and keep them in mind for your next ones. Stop neglecting your posts after you publish them and get them the attention they deserve.

  13. Thanks for sharing! I have never heard of Medium but will definitely check it out. I also love facebook groups. What are your favorite/most effective groups? xx

    1. I am in numerous groups.Blog support group,boost your blog,share your blog tips and tricks,bloggers hub. So many, there are some I need to recheck since I have not been able to post on them.

  15. Thanks for the comprehensive post! I’ve started sharing my posts on Medium and been getting lots of engagement there from a different audience, so it’s great. Pinterest is also a great source of traffic, and of course, Facebook groups! Someone else mentioned LinkedIn so I need to start looking into that. I’ve glad you explained what Mix was because I keep hearing that term and I had no clue haha!

  18. This a great list, sometimes I forget where to promote my latest blog, this list will be of great help!

  19. I didn’t know you could promote posts on Reddit. I’m curious to give it a try after I learn more about the platform.

  20. This is a great reminder for some platforms that I used to share on, but I’ve stopped in the recent past. I should probably revisit some of those in the future. Thanks.

  22. Excellent list! Writing the post seems to be the easy part….it’s the promotion that takes so much time!

  23. These are some great tips! I must admit I’m like
    How you were previously, just acting like people will simply stumble upon my posts! Time to get gm work! Thank you!

  24. Definitely some great insight. Sometimes I forget that I have to work extra hard to make it to the top. I forgot about a couple of these social media platforms, too! I used to be very active with Tumblr and then kind of dwindled away.

  25. I haven’t actually heard of some of these !! I need to start sharing my posts in more places I think :3 Thank you!! Great post !!

  26. These are such helpful ideas about where to post content. I especially like your advice about posting on Linkein. 🙂

  27. I use all of these except Medium. I have never heard of it before, will have to look into it! My email list also needs some work. I still need to make a freebie for it.

  30. These are great places to post! I have never heard of medium before. I am going to have to try it.

  31. Great reminders and places to post. I use almost all of these except MIX, but I do not use all consistently! I’ve been thinking about Quora, but just have not looked into with great detail. Im going to have to be more consistent. Thanks for the reminder.

  32. These are all great ideas! Pinterest is definitely my go-to, but I do like to differentiate from time to time.

  33. Great list of places to share your content. I had no idea what Medium was. I’ve definitely learned something new. That’s what I love about this field. There’s always something new to learn from other bloggers. Thanks for sharing them with us!

  35. Thank you for this comprehensive list. I’m so glad that I’m in the right path!

  39. I have recently started following quora and reddit. Today after reading your post started with Mix. Taking baby steps here will follow up one by one.
    Thanks.
