The Year To Share More |
Start by Sharing This Post with Your Twitter Followers today.
They might, in turn, share it with their readers and
Facebook fans who will also do the same. Do you see where this is going?
Now imagine if the same thing happens to one of your own
posts. It will, if you share other people’s content with your readers. People
whose content you Retweet on Twitter or Like on Facebook will reciprocate and
share your stuff with their readers.
The more you share, the more you get! Try it. It works.
Here is Adrienne Smith’s post “Cool Blog Tips In
November” that I want you to read and then share it with your readers to
prove this fact. And don’t stop there. Find other interesting stuff to share
with your readers. Ask them to ‘share the love and spread it around’ as
Adrienne likes to put it.
Don’t Plagiarise
As you go about sharing other people’s content, just don’t
make it look like it’s your own material. Make it clear that it belongs to
another person who worked very hard to produce it. Acknowledge the source of
your material and use quotation marks where necessary.
Another article that is worth sharing is “This
Is Why You Must Use Twitter” by Mark Schaefer of Businesses Grow. Mark also
believes in sharing, as you’ll soon find out.
Social Media Is About Sharing
Mark’s article illustrates beautifully how and why social
media is about sharing. From mundane, inconsequential titbits of information to
life-saving breaking news stories – people share it via social networks. The
very fact that you’re reading this piece means that you also believe in
sharing. Will you share this post with your readers?
Bloggers share their expertise on the Internet and, at the
same time inspire their readers to pass that information on to their audiences.
Online marketers, especially, know the importance of sharing their content with
as many people as possible. That explains why some of them are even prepared to
buy Twitter followers. Sharing is a game of numbers.
If numbers mean anything to you, be it in terms of page
views, subscribers, comments on your blog or Twitter followers, then join the
sharing club and reap the rewards that come with it.
I am in a sharing mood today. Here is my last request to
you: Share this post with your readers and Twitter followers! If you don’t

what you think about it. Deal?
