Successful Social Marketing For Your Blog Posts

Writing by Brick Marketing Staff on Wednesday, 5 of December , 2007 at 7:17 pm

I found this list useful for social bookmarking your blog posts:

1. Look for lots of different angles
2. Spoofs are popular
3. Top 10 lists are favorites
4. No long articles or face the dreaded “TLDR”
5. Tamar suggests “eye candy with intriguing titles”
6. Videos are good; short videos are better
7. Be funny. Now!
8. Free products or coupons are big in the virtual world, too
9. Have a contest
10. Go “far out”

Essentially, if you want to be successful at social media marketing then you need to join the community first and “mill around.” Get to know the ins and outs first. Talk to people, do a little networking, find out what the biases are, the likes, and the dislikes of the members. Only after you’ve built a few relationships should you then start “marketing.” But if you do the networking part right then the marketing will take care of itself.

Based on my own experience, the blog posts that do best at the popular social bookmarking sites are the ones that meet the conditions of this list. The ones I think are the best suggestions are:

• Be funny
• Use short videos
• Top 10 lists

But not necessarily in that order.
