The path to creating a successful & integrated social media network.

Step 2. Social Media-

A blog post is really nothing more than a billboard in the desert if you don’t get it in front of your community. So one of the most powerful ways to integrate your articles and posts are through Social Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn just to name a few. Linking and auto-posting your blogs information will make you more visible to your current sphere as well as an untapped audience of new business and new opportunities.

Social Media can seem overwhelming at first. However, taking ‘baby steps’ and only concentrating on the big 3 below will allow you to focus on getting your blog out to virally and with greater proliferation.

Facebook is the Goliath of the Social Media World and having your posts linked to both your friend account and your fan page is critical to create a viral platform. You must also use Facebook as an interactive tool to talk with and back to your community often.

Twitter is a great ‘listening site’ and a unique tool for auto-posting your blog with links back to your fan page as well as your blog site. Following the right people with the right information will give you loads of ideas for your own blogs.

LinkedIn is a more ‘adult’ social media site catering to a more professional audience. Auto-posting your blog through Twitter is an outstanding means to reach a more influential  community looking to do business with you.
