Easy Ways to Promote Content on Social
Pin a Tweet
You can pin a post to the top of your company’s timeline. This tweet will be the first one that any person sees when he or she visits the profile. It’s a simple way of drawing extra attention to the content in that tweet. And, you can change the pinned tweet as often as you’d like, allowing you to promote different types of content whenever you wish.
Work that Cover Photo
The cover photo is the biggest, baddest imagery on your company’s Facebook page. Take advantage of it by highlighting a recent blog post, video, infographic…you name it. Yes, it takes a little bit of work to create a really nice looking cover photo, but it was time for an update anyway, wasn’t it?
More Pinning
This time, on Pinterest. If you’re not already pinning your blog posts to Pinterest, you’re really missing out. Pinterest, contrary to popular belief, is NOT just for imagery. It’s for any type of content that has imagery. And your blog posts do, so pin ’em.
Join In
Join in on conversations taking place across the multitude of social media platforms. There’s plenty of them out there, and when your blog content can provide a relevant answer, share it! How do you know where and when these conversations are happening? Try setting up a search stream. Join groups on LinkedIn and pay attention to the discussions that come from it.
Remember – be helpful. This isn’t a chance for overt over-promotion; it’ a chance to prove your value by answering questions.
