Marketing and Promotion using Social Networking Websites
There’s many ways to market and promote our selves in this ever growing social networking society. The methods for marketing and promoting our blogs has grown vastly and continues to grow daily at an even bigger rate. I think the main concern is telling the difference between good and the bad. As an example how good is 10,000 hits if you get zero comments on your blog? I would much rather prefer that one hit which turned out to be an awesome comment. Also that one hit wont waste my bandwidth and decrease my cost per click on ads.
I don’t really use digg, stumble upon or any of the major networking websites personally but I will digg or stumble upon a friend’s article when asked to. I try to focus on other marketing and promotion activities such as Search Engine Optimization and Link Exchanges. I’m also a very big fan of forum marketing as you probably know from reading al my posts. It wasn’t too long ago when I wrote an awesome article regarding the Top Webmaster forums on the net and if you have a sec and are a blogger please have a read.
Even if I wanted to keep up with all the available marketing and promotional websites these days I couldn’t and if I did I wouldn’t have time to even blog. Without blogging we have nothing to promote correct? So at the end of the day you must sit back and observe the result from your marketing efforts and determine what communities you’re going to continue using. Sure I use blogengage but I’m bias seeing I’m the owner of the site but blogengage might not be the right median for your marketing and promotional needs.
Maybe your blog is about money and you need tons of hits for a little bit id clicks. If this was the case I would suggest larger websites like the ones mentioned earlier. Sites like dig and stumble upon will most likely get your ads clicked and maybe even make you a few bucks.
Overall I use many methods of promotion and so should you! Don’t stop looking for that new idea or new way to get the word out about your blog! Continue marketing and promoting and create the brand name you deserve.
