You need to upvote and re-submit others’ reddit posts – it will improve your reddit karmas. Once you have sufficient karmas, you can submit your blog posts easily, read subreddit’s rules before posting on it. Meanwhile, try to add few posts of famous websites or add current news related posts so that people comment or upvote your posts.
- Stumbleupon : Stumbleupon powered by ebay, is a good source of instant traffic. To submit blog post on it, you need to first register. A complete profile will help you in traffic generation. Don’t submit your blog multiple times a day. It will be considered as spam. You can add other blog posts, if you are running multiple blog sites. Only submission is not sufficient, you need to build network in your niche. Comment on other stumbles’ posts.
- Bizsugar : Bizsugar is the toughest website to publish your blog post on. You need to be very careful while submitting blog post on bizsugar.
- Submit reputed and high authority website’s post in relevant category.
- Upvote and comment on others’ published posts.
- Once your profile is strong enough, try to submit your blog post.
- Write meaningful description, creative title and choose appropriate category.
- Scoop.it : Scoop.it is one of the best places of content curation and content marketing. Here you can bookmark your blog post or can create a complete article with backlinks to your blog. I have tested both of them. It has premium and free plans. You can use both as per your requirement. Premium plan has few extra features. As its DA and Alexa rankings are high, so it’s extremely good for building backlinks.
- You can manage multiple topics in a single account.
- You can build community.
- Share, like and comment on other’s posts.
- Write catchy headings with targeted keywords.
- Add images in your scoop article.
- Pinterest : Pinterest is not only a bookmarking website, but it is the most popular graphical content distribution social media website. Here, you can discover content on any topic and most of the content will be in graphic format. And best part of it is that anyone can easily use Pinterest.
After creating an account in Pinterest, you need to follow few categories. Choose wisely as you will get their pins. Before adding a pin, you need to create a board with keyword rich board title, description and choose the most relevant category. You can invite others to pin on your board.
Find related pin boards and join them. Here, you can’t join directly, invitation is needed to post on group board. For invitation, you are supposed to follow admin of that group, repin his/ her pins and wait for him to notice you or you can also send him a personal request message. Don’t promote your blog post in groups all the times, try to be social!
Guys! Pinterest has good source of traffic for those who have rich graphical content like themes, designs & infographics. I got huge response from Pinterest for www.znetlive.com.
