6 Helpful Tools to Promote Blog Posts in 2020

These tools will boost your postings in the social news feeds of Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest etc.

Over the last few years, the average engagement rate of social media posts declined dramatically, especially on Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. This resulted in a dramatic loss of traffic to bloggers and content marketers.

The following tools will help you to more effectively distribute your content, cut through the noise and increase the exposure of your content in social media feeds.

“Content is fire, social media is gasoline.” – Jay Baer, New York Times best-selling author.

Summary

As someone who blogs regularly, I constantly find that I’m either not dedicating enough time to promoting my blog posts across my social media channels, or I just forget entirely!

I’ve been using an awesome tool recently (called Missinglettr) that pretty much takes care of all of that for me.

Now, whenever I publish a blog post, I get sent an email (within minutes of me hitting ‘publish’) inviting me to review a full 12-month social marketing campaign for the blog post I just published. All I need to do is review their suggestions (making edits if I need to) and that’s it. My blog post is then marketed across my social channels for the next year – driving traffic back to my site.

Quite simply… I love it!

Full disclosure: I am already an affiliate of Missinglettr so if you chose to become a customer of them, I would receive an affiliate commission.

Missinglettr does have a Black Friday through Cyber Monday deal going on at the moment, and they are also running free webinars to explain how to use the product and the immense time savings that can be gained.
