| | Today's task from Problogger was to Promote a Blog Post, and we were shown 11 ways to promote a blog pos. We were cautioned about our use of the techniques, and encouraged to use our best posts and to promote them selectively.
11 Ways to Promote a Blog Post:
1. Pitching Other Bloggers
2. Social Messaging
3. Social Bookmarking
4. Internal Links
5. Newsletters
6. Other Blogs Comments' Sections and Forums
7. Email Signatures
8. Followup Posts
9. Advertise Your Post
10. Pitch Mainstream Media
11. Article Marketing
We were then encouraged to take a look at what we'd posted yesterday and think about where it might be appropraite to promote it. Or, alternatively, to look at a post we are particularly proud of and promote it.
Useful links we were given were:
11 Ways To Increase Your Chances of Being Linked to By Another Blogger,
Run a StumbleUpon Advertising Campaign For Your Blog,
How to Get to the Front Page of Digg - 6 Ingredients of a Successful Digg Campaign
and
Using Social Media Sites to Grow Your Blog's Traffic.
I had already linked yesterday's post via my Facebook and Twitter, but had never thought of the other suggestions. I really didn't think that yesterday's post was worthy of promotion, so I am going to try and find some time to write a new post and promote that at a later date.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It won't be in the next few days, however, as things are about to get really manic here! I'm heading home with Niamh tomorrow - Charis is going to have a sleepover at Noni and Gramps's - then have a shift at the alcohol rehab in the evening, Then it's pile back into the car on Friday and head back down the A82 to Oban with Andrew and Niamh, and we have Niamh's baptism on Easter Sunday.
Back up the road to Inverness on Monday for 3 evening shifts at the supported housing complex, then BACK down the A82 to Oban for my lovely wee sister's wedding on the 18th! Phew! I'm exhausted thinking about it all! But I promise I will blog photos as we go!
Goodnight Xangaland!
