By now even the most reluctant and social web<\/a> avoidant business owners have realized the power of blogging. What most haven\u2019t realized is that blogging for the sake of blogging isn\u2019t enough. Just like you need to draw attention to your website through various strategies and marketing pursuits, you also need to draw readers to your blog. Follow these simple steps to find out how to get your blog posts read and shared<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Social Web<\/b> \u2013 While it should be obvious, it isn\u2019t. Business owners still need to make an active effort to ensure all their posts are shared across the social web.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn<\/b> \u2013 Beyond just posting on Facebook and Twitter, take advantage of plugging into LinkedIn<\/a>. LinkedIn has come a long way and now even features news articles for all major industries, which demonstrates the site has become a powerful venue for content \u2013 so make sure your content is on there too.<\/p>\n

Sharing Buttons<\/b> \u2013 Social networks aren\u2019t limited to Twitter and Facebook. They also include sharing sites that let your network see what you\u2019ve been reading or think is read-worthy. A couple years ago there were a lot of these sharing sites, but Digg has proven to be the cream of the crop. Also check out AddThis, which is a free sharing menu tool you can plug into your site.<\/p>\n

Sharing Plugins<\/b> \u2013 Create a direct call to action by making it easy for your readers to share your posts. Include a sharing plugin in your website so you can include social sharing buttons across each post. Sites with sharing tools plugged in have an average of seven times more social media traction.<\/p>\n

Email Campaigns<\/b> \u2013 Plugging your posts in regular email campaigns ensures that readers who missed or don\u2019t frequent social sites still see your worthy post.<\/p>\n

Authorship<\/b> \u2013 Some sites, especially WordPress ones, allow for an author box below each post. Studies show that sharing (and comments) increases if these are used. Psychology would dictate it\u2019s because the reader creates a \u201cconnection\u201d with the author (or at least sees a real face rather than just another faceless authored-by name).<\/p>\n

Headlines<\/b> \u2013 While a headline doesn\u2019t guarantee a post will get shared, it does guarantee a marked spike in the number of times a shared<\/i> post gets read.<\/p>\n

Images<\/b> \u2013 Use the right images. People are vain and no one wants to share a post on Facebook if the accompanying image is less than cool.<\/p>\n

Comments<\/b> \u2013 Comments always fire people up, so make sure you\u2019re encouraging comments by (1) either offering a giveaway; (2) responding to reader comments (and also offering useful info in comments); and (3) creating controversial content that gets people talking.<\/p>\n

Resources<\/b> \u2013 Remember that content isn\u2019t just blog posts. Content also includes infographics and resource guides<\/a>, both of which not only get shared at incredible rates (if they\u2019re good) but also have a much higher chance of going viral.<\/p>\n

Sharing Facts You Should Know<\/strong><\/p>\n
