What do I write about?

You have to promote your posts!

First: Facebook

• Use a ‘teaser’ lead in, then post the link on your business page• I like the Networked Blogs App for sharing too, but don’t automate!

Next: Twitter

Write a lead in that makes them want to click the link and

find out more!

Don’t forget…

• Add your RSS feed to your LinkedIn account• Engage with the people who comment• Email a link to your post to selected clients• Share with local news channels• Be picky with your posting and promotion timing
