More Social Media

The Strategy

So you write blog post, and want to get started. As you may or may not know, most of the users at the smaller Social Media sites also use the larger social media sites.

1 - Start off by placing widgets at the bottom of your blog post for 2 to 3 of the following: Del.icio.us, Digg.com, Propeller.com and StumbleUpon.com. These are the larger social media sites. Don't list your blog at these media sites just yet

2 - Next, submit your blog post to the lesser known, less used social media sites. The more sites you submit to the better, but make sure you submit them all as quickly together as you can. Here are some of the better lesser knowns:

Sphinn: News, Discussion Forums & Networking For Search & Internet Marketing Professionals Mixx - Latest news and top videos and photos from around the web Care2 - largest online community for healthy and green living, human rights and animal welfare. http://plugim.com Searchles | Home plime.comopular links http://sk-rt.com

3 - This is a big tricky. You can try timing this different ways, but I would recommend right after submitting to these lesser know sites submit to the mainstream social media sites that you chose to add widgets to for users to quickly bookmark/vote at.

Why This Works

The reason for all this is that the faster a blog post or site is dugg, propelled, etc the higher it ranks, meaning more votes and more traffic. The smaller social media sites will send you between 20-500 uniques usually. The people who visit your site from these smaller social sites will then read your blog, and at the bottom see the widgets for their other favorite larger social media sites such as Digg, and Propeller, and thus vote for your post there as well. This in turn will help you become popular at the mainstream media sites potentially sending you tens of thousands of uniques in a matter of a couple days.
