Socialize Your Guest Posting Efforts

With all that social media has to offer; why do so many businesses still fail to recognize its power?

Whether you run your own business, market someone’s business or do a little of both, the possibilities with social media are all but endless.

Keeping that in mind, how are you using social networking to spread your business message? More importantly, are you using social media in order to get the word out about what you offer?

Network with Those Needing Your Services

In the event your business centers on offering a guest posting service for businesses needing such attention, there are several ways you can put social media to use for you.

Among them:

• Facebook – Use your Facebook page to promote that you offer guest posting services for businesses looking to improve traffic to their blogs. You can do this with the typical announcements on your Facebook page, along with sharing such information with businesses on the Internet. Don’t try and be a one-size-fits-all type of business. Keep in mind that many business blogs are done in-house, so try and filter out those. Look for businesses where the blogs may not be oftentimes update etc. If that’s the case, they may very well be looking for your services.
• Twitter – While Facebook is the king of social media in many people’s eyes, Twitter is no slouch. The great thing with Twitter is that you can and should use key hashtags to note you offer guest posting services to various businesses. Use hashtags for example like – #guestposting #guestpostingservice #guestblogging and more. In a short period of time, you will likely find businesses in need of such help reaching out to you through your Twitter page. Make sure your Twitter page has your business website URL on it in your profile too. Lastly, don’t be an infrequent visitor to Twitter; as such inefficiency will lead to missed opportunities. While you don’t have to be on Twitter 24/7 by any means, daily check-ins and tweets certainly will improve your chances of landing more business for your guest posting services.
• LinkedIn – Even though many people may think of this site as just a “jobs source” and nothing more, that is totally not the case. Use the site to network with other professionals, including those professionals who either own their own businesses or work for businesses possibly needing guest posting help. If you regularly attend networking trade shows and/or conferences, let it be known through the site and other social media outlets that you can provide guest posting for business blogs.
• YouTube – You may not always think of this site and social media going hand-in-hand, but they do. The nice thing with the site is that you can provide video tutorials on your guest blogging services. Keep the videos relatively short, as long pieces will more than likely lose one’s interest. Do perhaps a 60-second to 3-to-4 minute video explaining what guest posting is, why one’s company should consider it if they’re not already using it, and why your services are second to none.

While traditional e-mail marketing and even mobile marketing should always be in your plans, using social media to promote your guest blogging services is something that you never want to overlook.
