Social Media and Your Blog

Hello Everybody!
Have you ever wondered about how you can promote your blog on social media such as Twitter and Instagram? Well wonder no more! 

Twitter 

Twitter is a great way to promote your blog because:

• Links - People can click on your blog link there and then, unlike Instagram where they have to go to your profile to then click on the link
• ReTweets - It's so much easier to promote your blog when there are accounts out there who ReTweet your blog and get you more views and potential followers!
• Community - You can easily join the blogger 'Community' by using hashtags and reading other blogs and then leaving nice comments. It's a great way to make new friends and new readers!
• Trends - Looking at what's trending on Twitter and then starting to tweet about one of the topics as well gets you more notice, and even more followers! 

Instagram

• In Instagram, viewers have to go to your personal bio to get the link to your blog. This demotivates potential readers who are simply too lazy or can not be bothered to go find your blog!
• You can have almost unlimited captions, which are good for hashtags!
• There are endless hashtags such as Like For Like and Follow For Follow, which get you (obviously) more likes on a picture or followers 

• Remember, if you do decide to use Twitter, don't just post links to your blog as this can be irritating and annoying to followers! 
• The same applies to Instagram, don't bore your readers!
