Blogger How 6 - Spread Your Blog Around The World With Social Network

After building a completely blog with great contents, you still need a few steps more to success. The question is how can you get as much visitors as possible. The answer content and SEO is not enough. An important part of Blogging Marketing Strategy is Social Media Network Marketing.

Social Network

In a few years, social networks were growing very fast and reach a great success. Social networks such as Twitter, Facebook are a large supply of visitors for your blog. That's not all, Google Search ranking also base on social network to evaluate and rank the search result.

Which social network should I join?

The must-join list:

• Google Plus
• Facebook
• Twitter

And some additional choices:

• Pinterest
• Youtube

Google Plus

You just need a Google Account to join Google Plus. After joined, add into "circle" some people that's you think will interested in your blog. Don't forget to post your blog post and share it.
Google Plus Page is a great tool to create a community for your blog. It will helps you keep in touch with your reader.

Facebook

Almost everyone has a Facebook account, share your post in Facebook is a good way to attract your friends. But it is not enough, you must create a Facebook Fanpage and invite your friend to join it. Just like Google Plus Page, Facebook fanpage need your attention before get visitor from it.

Twitter

If you've already had a Twitter account, use it. If don't, create a new one with your blog name and start building follow list. Everyday, login to Twitter account and follow someone with the same interest with your blog content, and if they follow back, everytime you post a link, it will also appear in their list.
One thing to remember, don't just post your blog in Twitter, let's communicate with your followers and make them interested in your tweet.

Pinterest and Youtube

Pinterest and Youtube is Social Media Network, that's mean media content is their main content. Pinterest is image, and Youtube is video. If you have a rich media content blog, with beautiful picture or video, let's join Pinterest and Youtube, then do exactly what I say about Twitter and Google Plus.

Auto Update for Social Network

Of course updating every post to social network takes time and effort. There are some good choices for automatically updating that will save your time (and money also):
- Twitterfeed: the first and the longest service till now. You can publish your post automatically Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn simultaneously. You can even publish the same RSS feed to multiple Twitter accounts.
- Dlvr.it: short for Deliver It. Not just Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Dlvr.it also support Google Plus. Since they are the first third-party service that support Google Plus, they've made this feature available for paid users only and it's cost $9.99 per month to use.
- Facebook to Twitter: this is an offcial Facebook service that allows user post an topic to Facebook and Twitter at the same time. You need to link your Facebook page to your Twitter account before use it.
NOTE: Twitterfeed and Dlvr.it use your RSS feed to update and publish to your social account.

Social Network Widget for Blogger

A social network widget in blogger helps visitor easier to get in touch with your social account. It's including a sharing widget that makes sharing your post into social network fast and easy. I will update step-by-step guide for these kinds of widget later, please wait.
