Once you publish a new post, it is important to share this information on social media sites.

Here's some tips on how to get it going...



Share on major social media sites.

Social Media sites are amazing at spreading something like wildfire, it's the quickest, fastest way to make your content popular. Don't be selfish when it comes to retweeting and sharing, you have to give a little to get a little.

Be interactive and when you share your post, maybe someone will return the favour.
