Send to KindleSend to KindleI’m always talking about how important it is to promote your blog post on your social media channels once you’ve published it. Just slapping a blog post up on your site and hitting publish won’t be very effective if people don’t see your content. And they won’t see your content if they don’t know it’s there. Another great way to get more eyes on your stuff is to cross-post on sites like Triberr and Medium.

Plus, I’ve been using ClickToTweet in each of my blog posts since forever, and have mentioned it over and over again in various posts. Maybe people simply aren’t reading my posts? But that’s another issue 😉
So what is it? In my humble opinion, it’s one of the easiest ways to get people to share your content! I’m going to tell you about it, as well as why I like it so much.

A few strategically placed opt-in boxes, as well as an exit popup can be a tremendous help in growing your list. Yes, I know pop-ups can be annoying, but if done correctly, they can accomplish the task without ticking people off.
