Visuals ROCK on social media!  Content with relevant images gets 94% more views than content without relevant images.  Visual content is also more than 40 times more likely to get shared on social media than other types of content (Source: Hubspot). 

Leverage this power by designing images that complement your blog content and sharing them on your social channels.  Use social media management tools to help you post during times when your social network is most engaged with your content. 

 

#4 Take a major highlight and discuss it on live-stream video

Another way to engage your social media followers is by using live-streaming platforms like Periscope, Facebook Live and Instagram Stories to interact with your audience…live!  You’re able to gain immediate feedback based on the comments and address questions in real-time to for an authentic, transparent experience. 

It’s a great method to building connections and gain true insight into what your market thinks of your content.    Big brands are leveraging live-streaming to their success, and you can too by repurposing your blog content and sharing it with these audiences. 

 

#5 Convert each subheading of your post and create a video series

Videos have a profound effect on audience engagement and moving people to action.  Consumers are actually 85% more likely to buy after watching a product video (Source:Entrepreneur).  It quickly builds the know, like and trust factor while humanizing your brand. 

Use each of your major key points in your post and create separate videos that go into further detail of your content.  Upload these videos to your YouTube channel and share them with your list and social media followers over a period fo days. 

 

#6 Publish on LinkedIn

If you’re a B2B brand, you content will excel on LinkedIn Pulse.  Ensure your post fits these guidelines for maximum results then share it on this professional network.  Members are actively seeking content that will add value to their companies. And again, it positions your brand as a leader in your industry.

 

#7 Share a snippet with your Snapchat followers

Do you use Snapchat for business?  This platform is another trending medium to market your brand using social media.  Chat briefly about a segment of your content, then offer an exclusive deal of the day for tuning in.  With a quality blog post, you can easily have enough content to spread over the week…giving people the expectancy to seeing your brand daily on Snapchat.

 

#8 Create an infographic

Infographics are liked and shared on social media 3 times more than other any other type of content. It’s the perfect tool to post on social sites for increased exposure and distribute to your email list for even more shares.

Simply hire a graphic designer sites like Fiverr.com or Upwork.com or design your own at Infogr.amand get this created in no time. You can also create a separate blog post just for the infographic…more quality content on your site!

 

#9 Repost on Quora

This highly popular Q&A website allows you to search questions that relate to your blog content, answer the questions, then include a link to your original post where they can find out more information. This also creates traffic back to your blog…a winning technique!
