Today freelance writer Beth Bauer (@JourneyofBethB) provides you with a super list of places to repost the content from your blog and get extra exposure for your work. Aside from your blog, here are seven other great places to publish your content. You cannot post a live link to a blog post in Instagram messages, but your profile can contain a live link to your blog. You can even use LinkedIn’s article feature to republish your blog posts on the site.

Beyond blogging as a promotional tool in and of itself, let’s look at the advantages of using a standard image or text at the bottom of each post as a way to build buzz and interest before your book is published. Here’s what the shortcode looks like in my blog post editor: For my how-to series, I assigned this content template the shortcode name of “travel guide.

Read today’s post by freelance writer Beth Bauer (@JourneyofBethB) to get some online and offline networking tips and inspiration. You also can join groups like “Take the Lead” or other entrepreneurial groups that help members grow their businesses. LinkedIn is an excellent site for posting your articles as well, and this site also has groups you can join, similar to Facebook. Who knows, maybe once you get to know each other, you can do a guest post for their site, which is another excellent way to grow your blogging audience.

I’ve blogged many of my books, but last year I decided to start podcasting my self-publishing book series. There are numerous podcasting software options available, but here’s two that I’ve either used or were recommended to me when I first started looking into launching my podcast: I’m a Mac user, and I use the preloaded GarageBand software on my laptop to record and edit my podcast episodes. I’m not at the point in my podcasting journey where I need to move to a paid plan, but it’s a competitive rate compared to other popular podcasting hosts like Libsyn, SoundCloud, Blubrry, PodOmatic, and BuzzSprout.
