When it comes to blogging, simply and publishing them is not enough as there are so much noise in the digital media out there today.

Also, you may think that your work is finished after publishing your blog post, but in reality you need to promote your work so that it will get more readership value. For most content marketers, the usual step is to share their content on Twitter and Facebook, but there are other high traffic generating platforms that you can make use of. If you are focusing only on Facebook and Twitter then you are losing thousands of potential views that could come from sharing on other digital channels.

If your content is flagged as the spammy on these websites then it won’t do any favors for your brand.
