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
