19+ Best Places to Share Your Blog Post for Maximum Traffic

Last Updated on 3 months by Christopher Jan Benitez

Successful blogging takes more than just writing great content. Even if you have a top-quality blog, you can’t expect everyone to come unless you promote your content and build a following.

The trick is knowing is finding the right channels that will help you reach the most people.

But before we begin, let me explain the concept behind how each of the sites featured below works.

Digital marketing has evolved throughout the years.

The tactics of yesteryears no longer work today because marketers nowadays focus on providing value to their audience.

By giving their audience what they want, marketing will capture their interests and get viewers to visit their websites and commit to their calls to action.

The keyword here is reciprocity.

Putting this concept into content marketing:

Some of the sites mentioned below also work under the principle of reciprocity.

To promote your content on these sites, you have to help others promote their content as well!

By promoting the content of others, you can generate points that you can use to create your campaign for content you want to promote!

Ultimately, these sites will teach you how you should put your interests aside and prioritize the needs of your audience.

According to the premier SEO Company in Chandigarh, you must share relevant content from other sites that your readers will find valuable. Doing so on a consistent basis, they will view you as an authority within your niche. Also, they will figure out that you are not here to merely promote content from your site, but from other authoritative sources as well.

All these factors help build trust between yourself and your readers. As a result, you will be able to command the attention of your readers and get them to read your content.

Now that we have established that:

Below are the best places to share your blog post so you can drive more traffic to it!

Vocal

Vocal Media

Vocal is a platform where creators can publish stories on topic-specific communities and earn money based on the engagement their stories get. Users earn each time their posts are read, and can also collect one-off tips from their readers. It’s free for anyone to join and start earning, but there are also paid membership options to help you earn even more.

Sharing your blog on Vocal is a great way to expand your current audience and develop your blog.

First, Vocal has a simple-to-use editor that helps make your stories look polished and professional, and you can embed all types of rich media with just a URL—so unlike a personal blog or domain, there’s no coding necessary at all. 

Vocal’s community sites are also SEO-friendly, and they have 9 million monthly readers who come to the site and visit the communities they’re interested in.

This means it’s easier to get a story to rank on Google, and it’s easier to get your post seen by people who will be interested in it instead of getting lost or bogged down amidst less relevant content.

Overall, it takes a lot of the guess work out of designing, monetizing, and audience-building that comes along with traditional blogs.

Viral Content Bee

ViralContentBuzz ~ Where You Can Promote Your Blog Post

Keep in mind that social media is the primary channel for attracting a crowd with your content promotions. It also offers an opportunity for your content to go “viral” and reach a ton of people in a short amount of time. This is the ultimate goal of Viral Content Bee, a free platform where you can tap into the social reach of real influencers.

Just like CoPromote, Viral Content Buzz will work if you’re also willing to share the content of other bloggers. However, remember content quality is a deciding factor when it comes to the ultimate shareability of your content. Though your blog post will be shown to a vast network of influencers, it is their discretion that determines whether they will share your post or not.

Empire.Kred

empire-kred

One of the things that make Empire.Kred unique is that the platform “gamifies” cross-promotion. It is a living, breathing market of influencers that help each other to reach a large following. Once you activate and personalize your profile, you can buy social stocks and set social missions, which involves the discovery of other content and influencers.

Another advantage of Empire.Kred is that it encourages you to learn more about brands and influencers that matter to you. Be it a musician, charity, sport, or industry—you are capable of discovering great content you can enjoy.

BizSugar

bizsugar

BizSugar is another business portal where bloggers and online marketers can share and spread content. Just like Kingged, this platform has a unique “Sugar” system to improve the credibility of a particular post. After posting your article, other users can add “Sugars” to your content and leave comments to start a discussion.

Aside from written content, BizSugar allows you to post videos, which is a distinct advantage for creative bloggers who want to explore other content options. And just like other blogging communities, it is somewhat limited to specific industries—namely finance, marketing, management, technology, and running startups.

Blokube

blokube

Blokube is another portal wherein you can submit and promote your content. However, one of the features that make it unique is the emphasis on ranking content according to relevance. It works via a voting system that propels the top-rated content on the front page while pushing “thin content” to the bottom.

This feature poses a challenge for new bloggers who want to make a name for themselves in the blogging community. But once you win the audience’s trust, it’s difficult for you to be knocked off the top spot. That said, being recognized in Blokube is a substantial accomplishment and deserves to be on any blogger’s to-do list.

Blog Engage

Blog Engage is a sister site of Blokube. However, it focuses more on giving bloggers feedback for their written works rather than ranking them and solidifying their authority. Once you submit your content, other users may choose whether to like or dislike your content. They can also leave a comment, save, and share your content for added exposure.

Memberships, RSS, Blog Engage

To have a good start with Blog Engage, make sure you join the right groups that will expose you to the primary influencers in other bloggers in your niche. Another advantage of using Blog Engage is the number of syndication options that help you manage which posts are visible on your page. You could also benefit from features such as live chat, groups, private messaging, and the occasional contests that let you win freebies.

AmplifyBlog

AmplifyBlog is a great place to contribute to the blogging community and be shared with a larger audience. Of course, your reach is directly proportional to your activity and the quality of your submissions. Once you set up your professional profile, you can start publishing posts from your blog for instant visibility. You can also link to your social media accounts to attract new followers from the platform.

Amplify Blog

Aside from being a place to share your articles, AmplifyBlog will also provide you with the latest information in the ever-evolving world of blogging. From blogging tools to new marketing trends—if it is relevant, then someone in the community is bound to write about it. All you have to do is bookmark the site and frequently check the “Home” and “New” sections to learn something new.

Scoop.it

scoop-it

Scoop.it a content curation tool that allows influencers and bloggers alike. It’s all about “scooping” new articles, adding your perspective, and spreading it to build your authority in your niche. You can easily use the platform to showcase your curated content in different channels such as email, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

With Scoop.it, you can showcase your collection of curated content and build a readership from there. If you continue to provide useful insights to the topic at hand, then you’re well on your way to thought leadership.

Shared Pinterest Boards

Pinterest is one of the most populous social media networks, making it a great avenue for bloggers when it comes to building a social presence. It is an image-sharing site that allows users to create “boards” and build a following. Today, you can find big name brands, and a myriad of influencers share content such as infographics, recipes, quotes, and product images.

While you have the option to start from the ground up and create your board, you can also join an existing board. Doing so allows you to get in touch with the social community around your niche. To look for specific boards you can join, you can use a tool like PinGroupie.

Type the keyword of your topic or niche, and PinGroupie will show you to most relevant boards that you can join.

PinGroupie Search

Once you find a suitable board to join, make sure you learn the rules set by the board administrator and promptly ask for an invite.

You can receive this invitation via email or through a built-in notification, depending on the system implemented by the board owner.

Facebook Groups

As the biggest social media network in the world, of course, there should be room for Facebook in everyone’s social media marketing strategy. As a blogger, using Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with a broad audience and build a loyal following along the way.

In addition to optimizing a page for your blog or brand, you also need to learn how to use “groups” and expand your reach through active participation.

For bloggers, it pays well to be in touch with a social network of professional bloggers. Doing so will enable you to find people who are open to guest blogging or co-blogging opportunities. All you need is to find the right groups that encourage this kind of collaboration.

LinkedIn Groups

Promoting your content on LinkedIn is somewhat similar to other networks such as Facebook and Google+. The main difference, however, is that you’re now catering to the professional crowd. If you usually produce informative blogs that can aid said professionals, you should be able to spread your content with ease through LinkedIn Groups.

Once you find an appropriate group that relates to your niche, you can start sharing content that can help these professionals grow in their careers. Just remember to diversify your content strategy and use tactics that improve the communication and retention of information such as using infographics, slideshows, and podcasts.

Reddit

Promoting your content on Reddit is like throwing yourself into a den of wolves. They either hate you and tear your brand apartwith love you and drink from every word in your blog posts. Keep in mind that the Reddit community or “Redditors” hate self-promotion. You have to be very careful in letting your brand into the mix.

A rule of thumb is to stay relevant and focus on what’s useful for your audience. Look for the right subreddits to find people who will be genuinely interested in what your blog has to offer. Also, remember that there’s no room for subpar content, so be sure you only share your best-written pieces.

Quora

quora

Linking to your blog in Q&A websites is one of the oldest strategies for bringing traffic to your content. Unfortunately, sites like Yahoo! Answers are no longer viable since outbound links are actively deleted. That said, it’s best to turn to Quora, which is currently receiving a ton of traffic from people who need answers to their questions.

An advantage of using Quora—or any other Q&A site for that matter—is the intent of users to find solutions. Just stick to being helpful and focus on the solution rather than your brand to avoid sounding “sales-y.” A good strategy is to simply use your blog post as a reference while providing a concise, yet helpful answer to the original question.

QuuuPromote

quuu promote

Quuu Promote is a paid platform where you can share your blog posts straight to your audience. It allows you to create customized messages on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn to compel users to visit your blog post.

However, what makes Quuu Promote different from any content promotion channels is the ability to choose a specific group of influencers who you want to share your blog post. For example, if your post is about SEO, it will only be shared by the top SEO influencers in social media. The influencers who share your posts will likely come from Quuu users.

While Quuu Promote is a paid promotion platform starting at $40/month with one (1) promoted article, you can only track the number of shares and clicks of your promoted post. Therefore, you need to ensure that your post is high-quality and the social media copy is impeccable to increase its ROI. Also, Quuu Promote reviews each content you want to promote before it is approved. If it doesn’t meet their standards or if it too promotional, they won’t enable the post for sharing on their platform.

Growth Hackers

growth hackers - best places to share your blog

Like Inbound.org is to marketers, Growth Hackers is an online community that caters to growth marketers. Aside from being able to share posts, you can also answer questions, spark discussions, collect growth ideas, and more!

When sharing posts, however, you need to make sure that it is relevant to growth hacking. Anything that is not about the topic will be removed and could risk suspending your account there.

Mix

stumbleupon

Formerly known as Stumbleupon, Mix is a platform you can leverage to increase your blog traffic. For users, it is used to “stumble” on high-quality pages related to your interests. For publishers, you can submit your posts to the platform so people interested in your blog’s topic could stumble upon your post. Sometimes, all it takes is just one view from a user before your post spreads like wildfire.

However, for your efforts on Mix to work, you need to be active in discovering content and sharing the works of others. You need to be active on the platform by commenting on pages you stumble upon, like pages, and others. Doing so allows you to generate a substantial following so you can get more people to view the posts you submit.

Flipboard

flipboard

Flipboard lets you create and organize magazines according to specific topics under your account. It is similar to Scoop.it in which you can curate great content about a particular topic. However, for Flipboard to be an effective promotion channel, you need to build a following so more people can view the latest added posts in your magazines. If done correctly, you can enjoy lots of blog traffic coming from this channel.

DoSplash

dosplash

DoSplash is another place to promote your blog posts about almost anything. However, unlike other sites, registering for an account is done manually. It might take time for your account to be approved as well. This is a good thing to prevent riff-raffs from spamming the site with low-quality content.

Zest.is

Zest.is: a Community for Digital Marketers that Matter

I have extensively written about Zest.is in this post. In a nutshell, Zest.is delivers digital marketing news straight to your Google Chrome upon opening it. You no longer have to visit to get your fix on the latest marketing news. Submitted content from Zest.is immediately shows on your open Chrome window. You can filter the news according to clicks and comments. The platform allows you to filter news from a specific category so you get targeted content based on your interests.

You can submit your posts here, but the process of approval so far is manual. It might take time for your posts to get approved.

Conclusion

Finding readers for your blog is never easy. The tricky part is getting the online community to trust you and being connected to the right people—a problem that the sites above can help you solve. If you know how to unlock the channels that will expose your brand to the right audience, then it’s only a matter of time before you become a thought leader yourself.
