For quite sometime, I have been using Facebook and Twitter to help promote my blog.
It is no big secret that the social media can be put to good use.
I know of a blogger who uses Pinterest to help promote her blog.
After all, the more people who know about your blog is the better chance of you having an increased readership.
Do you use the social media as an avenue to promote your blog? If the answer is, “No, ” it wouldn’t hurt to do so and if you simply don’t want to, I would respect your decision and not think differently about you.
I don’t because I am ashamed of what I write. Perfect strangers yes… people who know me NO.
My http://www.marvalously.wordpress.com is fiction writing I can hear them laughing at my crap. My http://www.caribbeanmarvel.wordpress. is commentary of current events that affect the region … I think friends would say what does she know about that etc. So I like strangers. yet I want my blog to grow. Perhaps I should use twitter but facebook has friends and people who know me. I do the occasional link when I have confidence. but I would like my blog to grow.
what do you suggest?
[ Smiles ] I suggest that you be brave about the whole affair.
Even though there might be a number of people who may laugh about what you have to say, there are those who would take your blog seriously; it is a risk that you must take.
I use Twitter, and am thinking about Pinterest.
[ Smiles ] Alex, I have been thinking about Pinterest too!
I don’t really use it due to the need to update it continuously so I use wordpress.
Thank you for the advice.
Thank you for liking my poetry ‘Bam to Poo’.
[ Smiles ] Thanks for your input and you are welcome.
