Cross-promote on Social Media

1. Cross-promote on social media

Cross-promotion is the act of promoting the same general topic about your business or brand in a way similar to cross-posting, but better suited to the audience and interface of each social media platform.

2. Share each other's blog posts

 

Besides sharing content across all of your social media platforms you can also curate content based on the author's post that you're in collaboration with. Write blog posts that summarize other people's research or breaking news. Create weekly or monthly summaries of your favorite blog posts. Ask customers, prospects, and influencers to contribute to your blog. However, you should always credit the original author of the content you link to.

 

Bloggers that share each other's blog posts and guest posts do very well with subscribers
 

3. Exchange guest posts

 

Bloggers need good content. Being a great guest blogger helps you build relationships with other bloggers by adding value to their blogs. Bloggers make up a large portion of online conversations, especially on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. They can have a huge impact. That makes them good friends. Making friends with other bloggers through guest posts will increase your social media influence and ultimately lead to more blog subscribers.
