Don’t sign up for everything you can – take the time to figure out what functions are available and then choose the site, or sites, that best fits your needs. Work out how you like to interact with others and which kind of social media site best reflects how you want to be seen online. Take baby steps first and when you are comfortable you can branch out to other sites.

Social bookmarking sites  contain many links to a wide variety of sources. You can make use of these sites as a promotional tool, but you’ll need to offer something that attracts readers despite the competition. To do this, you need to offer material that is worth reading. If you do not have material that is worth reading, the users you attract will simply leave your site and never return. They should be enticed to come back. Spend time on your content.

Use your current readers as a gauge for quality. Have them give you honest feedback If they tell you your content is poor, do not get defensive. If the content is not good, you should start by improving it. Handle the most important thing, the content, first. Then move on to marketing tactics like social bookmarks.

If you have an entry or two that you think are particularly fine, you can submit them to social bookmark sites on your own. Doing so will expose your work to many who wouldn’t find it otherwise. The danger in doing this is that many writers submit out of a desire to gain traffic, while their content is too weak to be attractive to readers. Realize that readers have a number of options and that they can be very critical. Submit your best material.

As there are many sites to which you can submit material, there’s no reason to limit yourself to only one. The more sites, the better your exposure will be. This will result in a maximal stream of readers, and will also improve your odds of being found via search engine.

Also, you can simply ask your readers to submit their favorites to social bookmark sites. This will make the selection process hands-off. That is, you will not have to decide for yourself which articles make the cut. This is beneficial because the reader will have the more objective opinion of your work the majority of the time.

This information should get you started on the path to having a blog with a decent readership. The most important phase of your project starts now. Once you’ve critically analyzed your material and have decided that it is the best it can be, start using the tips above to increase your traffic.
