We are constantly being told to create content to support and broadcast our personal brand.
Trouble is, it’s one thing to create content, but a totally other task to actually get people reading it.
So how do you get your fantastic personal branding content out there, without taking you hours on social media?
Gary Vaynerchuk posts over 1000 pieces of content a day and he said “You can do so much for your brand, if you become a perfect practitioner at creating awesome content for the internet”.
(The irony that this very content you are reading is exactly what he is talking about!)
Gary however, owns his own digital marketing agency, so he has tons of resource at his disposal to create and curate his content.
Most small business owners and professional service providers write awesome blogs, post them to their website, and then maybe share it once to their social media page.
Then they then forget about it.
And their blog gets crickets. It become just more content on Google that no-one reads.
Is your blog page like a wild-west ghost town?
There's a really simple way to ensure more people see and read your content - after all, you spend valuable time creating it, so you need to also market and promote it...

You can use Bit.ly to shorten your blog link to make it look better when you share it.Post to FB groups (check the rules and post on days that the group allows). Make the post a tip or advice, include the reason why you think your article will help people, along with a link to 'read more'.Post a shortened version of your blog to LinkedIn as an article, with a READ MORE at the end that links to your blog.
Update your article (by at least 20% to avoid duplicate content) to make it relevant to other channels, and post on content platforms such as Medium, Quora or B2C
