The other day I was setting up a blogger blog for a client (something I haven’t done for awhile). I had forgotten about all the applications you can add to a blog, blogger or any other blog. There are new social media tools popping up everyday. Here is just a sample of ways to promote the yourself via social media and your blog. 

Social Bookmarking tools – Sharethis or Addthis. These  allow visitors to easily bookmark your post.  Making it easier will make your readers more likely to do so.

Find Tools – Social Follow or the multitude of social icons you can add to your site. These allow visitors to find and friend you amongst the social networks.  You can also mention at the end of your blog posts every once in a while to follow you on Twitter or find you on Facebook or LinkedIn to encourage your readers to do so.

Facebook and Twitter Badges – Promote your Personal or Business Profile within your blog.

Subscriber Tools -Don’t forget to grab html code and allow visitors to subscribe to your newsletter/list.  Make these prominent and easy to find and utilize.

Whether you are starting from scratch or already have a blog Be Social Worldwide can assist you with setting up your blog and adding the social app, links and icons you need to socialize your blog.

If you’re an online business owner, attempting to use Twitter and other forms of social media to market your business then one key area that you MUST define first is your target market. Without it you will be swimming in an ocean of people who really aren’t looking for what you have to offer.  Wouldn’t it be better to be in a kiddy pool of those wanting to take part in what you are offering than in the ocean of those who could care less?

I think so!  That’s why first you must define your target market.  Ask yourself:

  • Who are they?
  • What are they looking for?
  • What problem can you solve for them?
  • What product can you provide for them?

This is what you need to know, then you set out to find those people specifically and to show them that you have what they are looking for.  You will help to “solve their problem” or “provide for their need’.

The, once you know who they are you jump in to their little pool party, wherever it is.  You begin following them to where they hang out and you start participating in the conversations and getting to know them so that they in turn can get to know you and what you have to offer.  It is as simple as that.  So, go get your floaties and start swimming!
