The best way to increase the amount of traffic your blog gets is to utilize social media. It doesn’t seem reasonable to solely pay for ads to promote your blog so social media becomes the best option after that. As easy as it sounds, employing social shares on social networks isn’t particularly easy for many bloggers.
There are many social networks to exploit, some are niche-specific, while others embrace all users. It sounds great attempting to mark your presence on all networks but this usually ends with poor results. I will advise you to focus on a few widely used social media platforms. Using these proven steps, you can be sure of getting traffic to your site.
Firstly, you will have to identify which social network your readers use the most.
Most bloggers discover that majority of readers use LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter. These social networks have immense potential to generate traffic to your site.
If your blog deals more on professional topic ideas then it’s advisable you focus more on LinkedIn. Use Instagram, Pinterest or Facebook if your readers are more visually pleased.
To make social media sharing easy for you, there are plugins you should install on your blog. These plugins make sharing from your WordPress easy to link with social media platforms.
