We all know how important social media marketing is to bloggers. Let alone bloggers, social media is now said to be even the core of the modern corporate world.

From a one-person startup to multi-billion dollar companies, everyone knows the importance of how essential social media has become to business growth.

Big companies are putting a lot into their social media projects to get more and even more exposure.

They are spending big to feast their products on more people. On the other hand, small companies struggle to find their way to the top due to constrained resources.

In the case of blogs the circumstances turn out to be different.

Social Media Marketing for Bloggers

Social Media Marketing for Bloggers

Bloggers make their money in all the ways they can.

Their money making ideas are unique and durable. They live to create & sell ideas. They relish their life building intellectual products.

Bloggers know the internet upside down, except the fact that they don’t have much to do on Social Media. But as a matter of fact, bloggers understand the advantages of social media and social media marketing in their profession.

Some may say that blogs are social networks too.

But as far as working methodology is concerned, those are not. Blogs are totally unique and to grow those certainly need aid from other blogs and social media.

Blogs can effortlessly see growth with the support of other blogs, bloggers and also using various backlinking strategies. But on social media, things get a little trickier for bloggers.

The main reason for that is the off-page promotion involved. To promote a blog on social media, bloggers need to divert focus from their blogs to Facebook/Twitter etc., for which they don’t have much time.

But there are still some ways to promote a blog without even leaving the blog dashboard. By following those bloggers can do both at the same time: blogging & growing.

On WordPress, several plugins sport automated publishing on social media. I have used Jetpack & Buffer like tools to automatically post my tweets and I was pretty happy with the results. Buffer makes it super easy to share any page you’re reading.
