Where To Promote Your Blog Post After You Hit Publish
So you just wrote the best blog you have written in MONTHS! After looking over it for the third time, it is edited perfectly and looks exactly how you want it. Now the world must see it! But, how? For some blogging websites, there is a fun little feature where it will ask you if you would like to share to Facebook immediately after posting. However, your entire audience (or potential audience!) isn’t just on one platform, sis. We compiled a list of Internet places you can promote your blog after smashing that “publish” button.
Email List
What better way to tell everyone about your latest post than the ones who always come to your website?! Send out an eblast to your email list about what’s new on the blog. Give them some juicy deets that will make them want to click away to follow you to read your blog. But don’t give away too much!
Facebook Groups
For those groups where they allow for you to self-promote - take advantage of them! And for those who do follow/engagements threads rather than posting your newest ventures, use them! (Also be sure to show everyone else on the threads some love, too!)
Embed a link to your newest blog as a tweet ASAP. Tack on a couple of relevant, small hashtags and watch your views jump. Getting likes and retweets will instigate engagement, making others wonder what all the fuss is about. And don’t forget to add your blog’s link into your bio!
Pinterest is so much more than just another social platform because it really is a visual search engine. Not only is your content being looked up, but it can be seen by potential clients. Posting on Pinterest allows for your blog to be easily seen by broad audiences that can also be easily shared by one to be seen by hundreds more.
You’ll always want to share your blog posts to your own Pinterest boards, but for even more eyeballs on your blog posts, you’ll want to share your blog posts to group boards on Pinterest! You’re always welcome to share your blog posts on the Girlcrush Collective Pinterest group board! To join the board, click the link below and then either request to join or send me a message.

Now who doesn’t love sharing on Instagram? It’s easy, accessible, and the audience you are trying to attract are more than likely on there, too. Not to mention, you have amazing tools to help you broadcast it to your social media world. Post it on your story (if you have the swipe up feature then yaaas!), post in your captions with a new pic, put a link in your bio, and even send the link to a few friends via DM!
Bloglovin’
This is a site that is made specifically for bloggers. (Yay - that’s you!) You can post your blog onto here with a high possibility that other bloggers will share your blog, too! It’s nice because this whole website is pure 100% blogger concentration so you know that your content will be appreciated and not so easily overlooked!
Guest Post
So, this is 50% a tip and 50% how to promote your blog. If you have someone guest post on the blog, not only do you have a little break for the week but also a new fresh take for a blog! Now that someone has done a guest post for you, they are going to share this opportunity with all of their followers! Now you are being exposed to a broader audience that could potentially go beyond what your niche is.
We’re always looking for guest bloggers! Do you have an idea for a guest post on Girlcrush Collective or InstaCrush Society? Tell us about it!
Ask Friends
Ain’t no shame in the promoting game, y’all. Just ask some of your biggest cheerleaders to share the new blog post on any of their social media. The same goes for family - tag your mom in your announcement and watch as all her friends fawn over you and tell you how inspiring you are.
Posting in LinkedIn will help post in a professional setting to show off your work with potential connections. Employers or fellow freelancers are looking for content like yours all the time on LinkedIn to expand their own connections that just might benefit the both of you.
Not on LinkedIn yet?

It can drive traffic to your website which is good for your SEO - making you look like an up-and-coming star for Google and other search engines.
