Once you write and publish your blog posts or articles on your website, you need to share them in some of the best places on the web. This way, you’ll be creating awareness about your blog posts and increase their exposure.

According to WordPress.com stats, users produce more than 70 million new posts each month.

Competition is simply insane!

With so much content available on the web these days, how to get your content easily discovered by the users and the search engines?

Oh, no worries!

According to Statista, as of January 2021, the number of internet users worldwide was 4.66 billion – around 60% of the global population.

And to get enough eyeballs on your content, you just need to share it at all the right places at the right time so that it reaches the right people.

But with plenty of content-sharing tools out there, how will you find the right ones to share your content to generate qualified traffic for your site?

Though social media networks are one of the best ways to share your blog posts, there are several other places you can use to promote your blog. For instance, content aggregator sites/apps, social bookmarking sites, or reciprocal sharing sites.

In this article, I’ve come up with a list of the 15 best places to share your blog posts to generate targeted traffic and conversions.

15 best places to share your blog post:

#1. Facebook

#2. Facebook Groups

#3. LinkedIn

#4. LinkedIn Groups

#5. Medium

#6. Twitter

#7. Quora

#8. Flipboard

#9. Pocket

#10. BizSugar

#11. SlideShare

#13. Triberr

#14. Growth Hackers

#15. Quuu Promote

Let’s check them out.

#1. Facebook

 

 

As of the first quarter of 2021, the number of monthly active users of Facebook is 2.85 billion. And the number of people using Facebook every day is 1.85 billion. Such stats make Facebook the biggest social network worldwide and one of the best places to share your blog posts.

Though Facebook has a massive reach, it’s very difficult to reach new people organically.

You need to make your content relevant and valuable. It should resonate with your audience so that they would love to share it with others.

When more and more people share your content, Facebook will definitely push it to the top of the news feed. The visibility of your content will increase.

Another option to get greater exposure for your posts is paid promotion.

Since paid ads cost you real money, you need to know how exactly it works before starting the campaign. If not done right, chances are that you may lose your hard-earned money.

What makes Facebook an important content-sharing platform?

It allows you to share all types of content including text, images, and videos.

To know more about why Facebook is such an enormous platform, you can check out the stats from Hootsuite.

Just create Personal as well as Brand Facebook pages and start sharing your content from both the pages.

Pro Tip: Before sharing your content on your personal Facebook page, create a list of such people who are in the same industry as yours. This way, you won’t be spamming your family or friends who aren’t in the industry.

 

#2. Facebook Groups

 

There are tens of millions of groups on Facebook and the number of people using Facebook groups is more than 1.8 billion.

No doubt Facebook groups are the best places to share your blog posts.

Before sending your request to join a group, you need to do a bit of research. And send your request to only those groups that are most relevant to your niche.

There are many Facebook groups where a majority of the members’ motive is to promote their own content. They are not interested in reading your content. Sharing your content in such groups is just a waste of time.

Once you join a few groups related to your industry, you should try to engage with the members of those groups. You can participate in group discussions, answer questions, and read others’ content.

Only after you build relationships with the members and gain some credibility in a group by staying active, you should start sharing your content.

If you have your own Facebook group, you can share your content there as well.

And if not, you need to build a loyal community and fanbase first. Then you can go for creating a Facebook group for them and start promoting your posts.

 

#3. LinkedIn

 

 

It focuses on corporate networking and is arguably the most professional network.

But it allows its users to share links to their latest posts and also they can write and publish articles about their expertise and interests.

When you consistently publish valuable articles, more and more people will like to connect with you. And very soon you’ll have a strong professional network on LinkedIn.

You can leverage your strong network of professionals and businesspeople by republishing and syndicating some of your blog posts. This helps immensely in getting quality traffic for your posts and quality leads for your business.

 

#4. LinkedIn Groups

 

 

You can send requests to a few relevant LinkedIn groups and once you’re approved, get started with sharing your content.

You must read the guidelines of each group you join before sharing your article.

And needless to say, you have to be an active member of the community.

Besides increasing the exposure, sharing relevant and valuable content also helps you establish yourself as an expert in your industry.

 

#5. Medium

 

 

Developed by the co-founders of Twitter and Blogger, Ev Williams, Medium is one of the favorite places to share your blog posts.

With nearly 100 million visitors per month, Medium has become very popular among readers as well as publishers.

You can republish your existing blog posts by using its ‘Import’ feature.

While publishing your post on Medium, don’t forget to add up to 5 relevant tags that it allows.

Adding tags will help your posts get discovered by your users.

Don’t syndicate the entire text of your blog posts.

There’s a good tactic many publishers use to increase traffic to their site.

The tactic is posting snippets of your blog posts.

And below the snippets, leave a link to your post to direct the users to your website to read the rest of the full article.

Just try this tactic and see the results yourself.

 

#6. Twitter

 

 

Launched in 2006, Twitter has 187 million monetizable daily active users. Obviously, sharing your content here will help you reach a larger audience.

But you need to share your content on Twitter multiple times.

Why? Because the shared tweet has a lifetime of approximately 17 minutes.

So, to reach more and more people, you can use pictures, infographics, and GIFs, linked to your post and post them multiple times using different hashtags.

Also, sharing the same content, again and again, helps it to reach followers in different time zones and thereby increasing traffic to your site.

There are many social media scheduling tools you can use to queue some of your popular posts on Twitter multiple times.

Sharing some of your high-quality content in the Twitter Chats related to your industry using their hashtags is also a good idea. It will help you reach a targeted audience for your blog.

 

#7. Quora

 

 

A question and answer website, Quora is a great place to promote your blog posts by answering the questions related to your blog posts.

If you don’t have an account on Quora, just create one and follow some relevant topics.

And then you should focus on asking questions, finding the questions related to your blog, and answering those questions.

To find the right questions to answer on Quora, you have to use its query bar to search for the term related to your blog.

For example, if you want to answer questions related to affiliate marketing, just type this term in the query bar. And select one of the different topics that appear.

There’s also another way you can use to find relevant questions. Just type the keyword in the query box and select search.

 

What’s the best way to answer such questions?

The smart way to answer is by utilizing the content of your blog posts containing more information on that topic.

But don’t post the entire article in your answer.

Just use the snippets of your detailed blog posts and leave a link back to the full article.

Such tactics not only bring more visitors to your site but also benefit your readers greatly.

When your readers visit your website, they’ll get detailed information about the topic in discussion.

 

#8. Flipboard

 

 

A content aggregator app, available on iOS, Android, and Windows, Flipboard is also a great platform to share and curate great content about different topics.

It allows its users to read content from every major publication you can think of.

Just create your account and start creating and organizing magazines for specific topics.

This will help you get new readers for your content. Since the readers are redirected to your website, it helps increase the traffic to your posts.

Pro Tip: Sharing your content is important. But sharing others’ content in addition to your own content is equally important. It helps you build relationships and authority on the platform. And obviously, you’ll gain more followers and your site will start getting more visitors.

 

#9. Pocket

How to share your content on Pocket?
