How I Use Social Media to Promote My Blogs

Here’s a great video made my Mr.ProBlogger himself, Darren Rowse explaining the concept of the blog being your “home base” and having social media “outposts” that generate traffic. It’s a great illustration and I think it’s fitting with our exploration of social media this week. Once you watch the video, share your thoughts and strategy for promoting your blog with social media in the comments below. Enjoy!

I agree that the viisuals and the explanation were excellent. The idea that your homebase needs to be something that you have complete control over really hit home. I had a website that someone else was hosting. I could not get into my account and the website was valueless to me because it was not updated for a year.

That's right Trina, you need to have complete control over the homebase. When I started The Success Center, I started with a free WordPress website which is still up but not “active.” Then I switched to self hosting because I needed to control the look, feel, and accessibility of my brand on the web. And I wouldn't have the wonderful and growing community that I have today without taking that step.

I love @ProBlogger and Darren Rowse. Were you involved with his 31 Days to a Better Blog Challenge? I enjoyed it and have his workbook bound professionally here in my office. I especially like the part about finding where your people are in the web world. For me it's Active Rain, which is a social network for mortgage and real estate professionals. I have a presence on there but I need to grow it more. Thanks for posting this!
