Methods to combine blog and social networks
Hello everyone. I have long looked for different methods to combine the activity of a blog with social networks , and it is not an easy task. Therefore allow myself to share with you these methods that I consider coherent and effective in order to achieve your goals. Hope you will enjoy reading this article, and above all, that it will be useful to you in your future endeavors. You can get in touch with Best Social Media Marketing Agency in London
1) Social-media icons on your blog
When you carry out an activity such as blogging, your success depends above all on your capacity to be able to share rich and quality content , but also on your accessibility from social networks , which allows you to found a community of your own. It is therefore very important to know how to offer a certain visibility to your presence, by indicating very clearly via social-media icons .
2) The essential Retweet and Facebook share buttons for your articles
It is undeniable that the success of your various articles depends above all on their quality , it should however be known that the capacity that your readers will have to be able to share them on the web in a minimum of time is a very important criterion since this will greatly accentuate your visibility and thus the number of readings. Social networks offering great sharing capabilities (in terms of functionality and community breadth) being Facebook and Twitter , I suggest you install two sharing tools that demonstrate their effectiveness not only by their notoriety but also by their simplicity :
- FaceBook Share (New)(WordPress only)
- TweetMeme Button(any media type)
3) The (other) article sharing buttons
You can content yourself with the two sharing tools indicated above, but know that you can also offer buttons (which I suggest you place at the end of the article) offering the possibility to your readers to share your articles on other networks slightly less efficient (in my opinion): but as they say, there are no small profits. This will somewhat increase the sharing of your articles, whether on Digg , MySpace , Delicious , Yahoo Buzz , and so on. One of the last tools that I was able to come across on the web on this subject is rather of good quality, so I allow myself to recommend it to you:
- SocioFluid(WordPress only)
- SocioFluid(all types of support)
4) Sign in with Twitter and Facebook Connect for your comments
Combining your blog with social networks does not only involve sharing information. For example, you can offer your readers to comment on your various articles with an identity specific to their presence on such or such social network. This is what I also offer on Kriisiis.fr, since you can comment on the various articles as a guest, but also with your Twitter account , your Facebook account or your Yahoo account . The tool (absolutely extraordinary in my eyes) that I use is called Disqus , and is very complete: you will realize this by exploring the administration interface.
- Disqus Comment System(any media type)
5) Informative widgets on your blog
Displaying information about you and related to social networks on your blog can not only increase your visibility on the web, but also give you credibility , whether by the size of your community, the quality of the content you share or again by your regularity. You should know there are many widgets displaying your activity on these networks, but above all you should not abuse them, which is why I suggest that you display one, two or even three tools but no more, and if possible optimally within your interface.
