I can’t count the number of people I talk to daily that have a blog. They create great content, and share it through some social media channels. But, their twitter, facebook, and linkedin are not actuallyconnected to the blog.

What do I mean?

I mean that when you post a blog post – it should automatically send to twitter, facebook and linkedin for you. You should never have to actually post it on any other site.

Why?

Well in addition to saving you time from having to go to all the different sites…it also means that you’ll never forget to post it onto the other sites.

Okay, so how do you do it?

Facebook:

• Login to your facebook account
• Click into your main page
• Click on the “notes” tab
• On the right hand side, select to import your blog
• Paste the url to your blog (http://www.yourwebsite.com/blog) into the box
• Click import…and you’re done!

Twitter:

• Login to your blog
• Click on plugins
• Click install new plugins
• Type “wordtwit” into the search box
• The top result will be the one you want, click install
• Once it installs, click activate
• Then, on the left side, click settings and then click Wordtwit
• Sync your twitter account with wordtwit
• Now, every time you post, it will automatically send to wordtwit.

LinkedIn: LinkedIn can be connected two ways, you can either do it through twitter or through linkedin itself. I prefer it though twitter so I am going to walk through that.

• In your blog, you should already have installed WordTwit (as per twitter steps).
• Go into the settings of wordtwit through your blog
• Where its ays tweet message, copy and paste: [title] – [link] #in
• Now, login to your linkedin account
• Click on settings in the top right
• Click on Twitter Settings under your Profile Settings
• Authorize your twitter to be connected
• This will mean that every time you post a blog, it will send to twitter and then to your linkedin status update

Now that you have your blog connected everywhere, you will have an easier time getting people to come to your site!
