With the growing demand for well written and valuable content, multi-authored blogs are becoming increasingly popular. More and more bloggers are making some cash writing for other blogs. As a blogger, if your work consistently draws traffic, links and comments, your services will be demanded by blog owners.
Social media offers a great channel through which freelance bloggers can draw traffic and get exposure for their writing. Many writers merely submit their posts and assume that the job is done. However, blog owners pay for results. Therefore, taking time to promote your writing through social media can have significant impact in the success of your work.
Why social media is a useful tool for freelance bloggers
Portability
Social media can help you build profiles on a wide range of sites. When you write posts for different sites, you can promote them all on your social media profiles.
Visible results
Many blog owners are constantly observing stats to find out which posts and which writers are generating the best results. You will get the attention of blog owners when you use social media to generate enough traffic.
It’s free
You can promote your writings at no cost with social media. You just need to learn how the websites work, build your profiles and get active promoting your work.
Exposure
Social media is a great way of exposing your work to a large audience. By promoting your work in the most relevant categories and sites, you will be able to attract well targeted visitors. Social media has been very effective in promoting my blog which features register.com discounts and webhostingpad coupons.
Tips for getting started
Begin with major sites
For best results, start off with general social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and StumbleUpon.
Target noticeable results
Your main aim should be to produce results which will grab the attention of blog owners. They will value your work more if it generates a lot of traffic. This is why you should focus more on the leading social media sites.
Be a consistent user
Spend much time in your targeted social media sites. Besides just promoting your work, take time to get familiar with the site and look for openings to help others.
Don’t force it
You don’t have to promote all your posts on social media. If a post is not likely to generate much interest, don’t force it. For best results, only promote work that would be a good fit.
Build a network
Friends are a major element of your success in social media. Make sure you take some time to establish strong social media relationships. Friends can be very helpful in promoting your work. You should also be ready to assist other whenever possible.

I think it is time people start looking at “SOCIAL media” and “social MEDIA” as two different specififcations. One is about collective intelligence and the other is another channel for promotion, advertisement. And for me, it is a very good idea!
