My Seattle Blogs: How To Syndicate Your Blog Post

Create an Online Marketing Platform that Works!

If you’re blogging consistently and have been reaping the rewards of your labor…please don’t read this! However, for the other 90% of you out there still wondering How & Why this whole crazy blogging thing works…take a look at this!

Along with the other actions on your Online Marketing Platform, syndicating your blog post to other networks is an effective way to create a constant flow of traffic to your blogsite. It’s also a fantastic way to get your message to a larger audience…essentially increasing your online footprint in the process. Let’s take a quick look at how you can get on the radar of folks that may not even know you or your business exists!

1. Facebook Fan Page & News Feed - Although there are very good services that will automatically add your blog to your fan page, I choose to do it manually. A simple copy & paste of your blog post’s shortlink on to your fan page will automatically syndicate your blog post to your news feed and the news feed of every fan or like(r) of your fan page…

2. Twitter - By a simple measure of going to www.facebook.com/twitter or going to the dashboard of your fan page, Edit Page>Resource>Link Page to Twitter, you can syndicate your blog post via your fan page directly onto Twitter without ever going to Twitter. Remember, since this is an auto-syndication process, your title and the link back to your blog site is the only thing that will show up…and that is more than enough to drive traffic back to your blog site from Twitter.

3. LinkedIn - The action of linking your Twitter account to your LinkedIn account is very simple and effective. Now you have a Online Marketing Platform that will circumvent Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and drive traffic back to your blog site to get “The Rest of the Story”! NOTE: Make sure you uncheck the middle box that only allows tweets to go to Linkedin if you use the #in!

4. Other Blogs & Websites - As your Blog posts become more coveted, you will find others out there posting you content. You know you’re heading in the right direction when this starts happening.

5. World Wide Web - Along with the attention of other bloggers, your content will become more attractive to the Search Engines like Google and Bing. We all talk about being on the first page of Google…this is what this whole exercise is all about!

It’s that simple gang…now you have an online marketing platform that reaches hundreds if not thousands of potential customers. And, along with your other social media efforts, should get you more business!
