Sharing content on the major social networks and bookmarking sites (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, StumbleUpon, Digg, and Reddit) is a step in the right direction. But in today’s world of nonstop online publication, it is far from enough.
What about adding more resources to the list? Here are 15 sites that you should try.
Content curation sites
The best ones are Scoop.it, Trunk.ly, Curated.by, and Paper.li.
AllTop
Alltop is a great service that categorizes all the top sites on the web based on categories. You must submit your website/blog for potential inclusion. If it is accepted, it will be promoted on a specific page (for example, “social media”).
Amplify
Amplify is a blend between curation and social bookmarking. The free bookmarklet makes it very easy to share content on the website.
Bloggers
Bloggers is one of the biggest (and best) communities and directories for bloggers in the world. Joining is free and will bring you quite a good amount of targeted traffic.
LinkedIn Groups
It is always a great idea to join as many Groups in your niche as possible on LinkedIn. Sharing your articles there will bring you more targeted traffic than if you just posted links as updates on your profile.
Social Media Informer
Social Media Informer aggregates the best and most recent content on the use of social media for business. If your blog and/or website is accepted for inclusion, your posts will appear on the main page and will be shared on Twitter.
Social media networks
- Blog Interact and Blokube allow users to share and vote for their favourite content. They both have groups and easy-to-use bookmarklets. Also, articles are usually promoted on Twitter and Facebook.
- BizSugar is similar to Blog Interact and Blokube, except that the focus is on small businesses.
- Zoomit is for Canadian news and content only.
Triberr
Triberr was launched earlier this year and has already helped many struggling bloggers to experience an incredible spike in traffic.
You must be invited to join a group (also known as ‘Tribe’) to start using the service. Once in, add the RSS feed of your choice, and every time you publish new articles on your blog, members of the group will be able to share them with their followers on Twitter, as well as Google+, Stumble Upon, LinkedIn and Facebook.
Zimbio
Zimbio is an interactive magazine publisher focused on current events, entertainment and pop culture. Add your blog and share your articles in wikizines based on specific categories.
