You probably have your tried and true sites you are active on, like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. There is more of the internet out there for you to explore.

StumbleUpon is a fun site that shows you different websites that have to do with your interest. A reader will set up an account and select what interests them. Then they click on Stumble and it will show them a site that is similar to their interest. You can easily set up an account and start adding content. When you add your blog post, you can tag what the post is about and add more tags to help it get found.

 

Reddit (also known as the front page of the internet) is a community of members that submit content for the benefit of the community. Community members will then vote up and comments on each other's posts. There are different interest groups called subreddits. Find a subreddit that you can contribute to. Submit your blog post and comment on others. This is also a great way to find content for your blog and get your content out there. Look at the posts, see if you can write a blog post that would provide insight.

 

Imgur is an image sharing community. You can upload images on Imgur and share them with the community. When you add an image, give it a title and image description. In the image description you can add a link back to your blog post. Use a URL shortener, like Bitly, to keep your description neat. Your image will be up voted or down voted by the community. Turn your blog post into an infographic and promote it on Imgur. Whatever you post on Imgur you want to make sure to provide fun and interesting content, not just an advertisement.
