Content Marketing Tips that Will Get Your Articles Read

When you're about to add a new page to your website or add a blog post:

Craft an irresistible headline Always double check your spelling and grammar Read the content out loud to catch any awkward sentences Make sure images have ALT tags Update site map Do internal linking

These cover most of the on-site SEO tactics that will help your rank higher in the search engine results.

Social sharing is vital for directing traffic to your website. Pick several appropriate channels and share your content the day that you post it on your new page. Post your new content again several days later. This way, you'll get additional views from people who didn't get to see your content the first time you posted it.

Other places to promote your content include:

Blog Engage - Your new post is voted on by readers, and then if it is especially helpful or entertaining, your new page content ends up on the home page of the website or featured on one of Blog Engage's popular social media sites.

Scoop.it - Freemium accounts let you post to one topic page and automatically share your scoop with social media.

Storypick - When you contribute content from your new page to Storypick, it could go viral.

Medium - republish your post or page content on the very popular site, Medium.

There are many other industry-specific sharing sites as well.
