Instagram, for example, sees over 700 million users every month. This sets it just a little behind Facebook, which has over 1 billion users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so many users, how in the World do you make your account stand out? More importantly why do you need followers mentioning and sharing your stuff?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, social mentions are much more than just a feel good pat on the shoulder. Having your brand mentioned by the right people carries a LOT of weight with your audience as well as Google.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google\u2019s Gary Illyes, sums it up pretty simply in a recent interview with Barry Schwarts from Search Engine Watch in a discussion about ranking content for keywords;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically, if you publish high quality content that is highly cited on the internet \u2013 and I\u2019m not talking about just links, <\/span><\/i><b><i>but also mentions on social networks<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and people talking about your branding, crap like that.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you want to gain more social media followers and improve your rankings, you need to start thinking outside the box. Cute photos and witty captions aren&#8217;t enough to help your accounts gain the attention they deserve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>So where should you turn to expand your following?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blogging can actually be an excellent way to help grow your followers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you&#8217;re probably thinking- <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;If I want to make my social media bigger, shouldn&#8217;t I be working on my social media accounts?&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, I\u2019m not suggesting you completely neglect your social media accounts. What I am suggesting, however, is that you take a more holistic approach to your marketing efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, all of your marketing efforts should intertwine and work to support one another. If one is neglected, the whole campaign is at risk of failing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But just exactly how do you step up your blogging game to attract more social media followers?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Continue reading this post to find out!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h2>1.Visit Other Blogs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blogging, just like social media, is a community activity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And sharing is a key element that helps this community grow.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of some of the popular social media accounts you follow. I&#8217;d be willing to bet there&#8217;s a good handful in there that you started following because another account you love gave them a shout out or reposted some of their work and tagged them in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I&#8217;ll scratch your back if you scratch mine&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a mentality that you need to have in the blogging world to succeed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/giphy.gif?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/giphy.gif?resize=640%2C320&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more you share other people&#8217;s blog posts and interact on their blogs in the comments section, the more they&#8217;ll do the same for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more sharing that goes on, the bigger the audience you get.\u00a0And once people notice you have a cool blog that gets a lot of interaction and shares, the more likely they are to go and check to see if you have a social media account!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2.Share Your Work<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you don&#8217;t want to be so busy sharing other people&#8217;s work that you forget to share your own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every time you create a blog post, don&#8217;t forget to share it on your own social media site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you share something from your blog on your social media that is captivating or\u00a0noteworthy, your followers are likely to share this with their own followers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If their followers find your post interesting, they will likely become your new followers. This can lead to new blog followers as well as new business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3.Add a Share Button<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every time you write a blog post, you&#8217;re creating content that people can share on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ok, it&#8217;s probably easy for you to remember to share your killer blog post to social media. After all, it&#8217;s your business, so you&#8217;re constantly looking for ways to strut your own stuff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But no matter how great your blog post is, don&#8217;t think for a second that your readers will take the time to share it if the process is somehow complicated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kinh-nghiem-seo-page-2017-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6540\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kinh-nghiem-seo-page-2017-2.jpg?resize=640%2C32&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"32\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kinh-nghiem-seo-page-2017-2.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=1024%2C51&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kinh-nghiem-seo-page-2017-2.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=1024%2C51&amp;ssl=1 3072w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, when you add share buttons, the process is insanely easy.

Call-to-actions focused on garnering new social media followers are just as productive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you really want to entice your readers to start following you, offer them some sort of reason, such as a contest or an incentive, for when they do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5.Establish Yourself as an Authority<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you hear the phrase, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;according to experts,&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you tend to listen a little more closely, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">right?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Of course!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Because we always trust the opinion of an expert far more than the opinion some Joe Shmoe who just likes to hear himself talk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make sure you don&#8217;t get a reputation as that guy, you need to make sure you are showcasing yourself as an expert authority in your arena.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, did you know that in recent study conducted by the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/contentmarketinginstitute.com\/2015\/09\/b2b-content-marketing-research\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-wpel-link=\"ignore\">Content Marketing Institute<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> revealed that over 60% of business marketers greatest challenge in 2016 was producing engaging content?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Likewise, HubSpot conducted a study that clearly illustrated Companies that write blog posts get more traffic. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pixelproductionsinc.com\/marketing\/get-blog-traffic-fast\/#companies%20that%20post%20to%20their%20blogs%20regularly\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-wpel-link=\"ignore\">companies that post to their blogs regularly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> get on average:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">55% more visitors <\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">97% more inbound links <\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">434% more indexed pages<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are creating blog posts that contain useful, relevant information, your readers are a lot more likely to listen when you suggest to them to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;follow your Twitter or Facebook for even more tips.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2>6.Guest Posts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guest posts are a great way to further your status as an industry expert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&#8217;ve started to build a relationship with other bloggers, try to strike up a working relationship with one or more of them.
