20 Simple Ways to Share Your New Post
The other day I posted an article on here titled My Dreadful Mistake (and how I fixed it). Due to its popularity, and the questions I received, I thought I would share a follow on article with detailed information about how I promote my new blog posts.
What you will see below is a list of things I do to promote my content. I do not necessarily do all 20 of these things with EVERY post I publish, but I do most of them with my new posts.
Here are 20 simple ways to share your new blog posts.
# 1: Tweet it. Make sure you use relevant hashtags.
# 2: Create a YouTube video summarizing your content and link it back to the original post.
# 3: Take the audio clip from your YouTube video and make it a podcast and link back to your original article.
# 4: Set up an inexpensive $20 to $100 PPC campaign to promote your new post.
# 5: Purchase some site comments in Wealthy Affiliate to get some engagement.
# 6: Share your link on your Facebook timeline and ask your friends to like, comment and share it with others.
# 7: Share your link on LinkedIn.
# 8: Leave blog comments linking back to your new article.
# 9: Leave forum comments linking back to your new article.
# 10: Email your list announcing your new article.
# 11: Do a guest post for another blogger and link to your new article.
# 12: Consider purchasing a banner ad on another website that links to your new article.
# 13: Share your new article with 3 other bloggers in your niche to see if you can get a link.
# 14: Share on Pinterest and Instragam (the photos from your post).
# 15: Email 10 personal contacts (or private message them on Facebook) who would be interested in learning more about the content.
# 16: Edit two old posts on your blog and link them to the new post.
# 17: Make your post a featured post on your blog, so more people can see it.
# 18: Add a P.S. line to your personal email account linking to your new blog post.
# 19: Identify five people in your target market on LinkedIn or Facebook that you think would be intersted in the information in your new article and share your link with them.
# 20: Consider paying several influencers to share your content with their audience.
This is not an all inclusive list, nor do you have to do everything on this list. What matters most is that you pick at least 5 of these things, that make sense to you, and do them whenever you publish a new article. I hope that helps.

Great pointers, Chuck.
As far as social media goes, I'm using Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.
I've been thinking of trying YouTube but I am not sure. My niche is on travel so it's not practical at the moment IMO.
I've also thought of leaving blog and forum comments linking back to my site, but wouldn't that be considered spamming? What do you think?
Hi Chuck, I was overwhelmed by your great list. The point is to promote your content rather than just dependent on Google especially when your site is new. I guess choosing the method where your target audience responds best would determine the 5 to do. Unless you do know that, you still need to try it out.

Hi Chuck,
I was one of the readers of your referenced post who asked the question if you had written a blog post on what you do to market your new post. Thanks so much for writing this.
As always, what you share is like gold. I will be bookmarking this post for reference as I write new posts.
Thanks much.
Edwin
Awesome!
