			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Social networks are a great way to promote a blog as it helps in increasing traffic to your blog. Unless your blog is purely personal in nature and only meant to be shared with family and close friends, chances you want to bring in more readers. Nearly all bloggers also want to earn something from there blogs. At least to cover the costs domain renewals and hosting services, but that requires a large traffic.</p>
<p>After SEO, Social Networking is only and the best way to popularize a blog and earn at least some money. Being a Social Media guy and a professional writer, the main question, which is asked by almost every fellow blogger is How Do I make my blogs and projects popular? My answer is always being the same, but I wanted to share with you all so writing this post. Best way is to do social bookmarking, also Explain Social Bookmarking to your users. Not everyone<br />
who crosses your blog will be familiar to the benefits of social bookmarking. So how to promote your blog via social networking or social bookmaking?</p>
<p>Well, I won’t write too much like those real *** bloggers write about, “Do this, Do that” seriously all those tips are useless and time consuming . Just remember to socialize and popularize a blog you just need to create a network of good fellow bloggers and bookmark or share the<br />
posts. Here is a list of top bookmarking sites:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>StumbleUpon Promotion</strong>: StumbleUpon is great source of incoming traffic.</li>
<li><strong>BlogCatalog Promotion</strong>: BlogCatalog, a network for bloggers, has several ways to promote your blog and articles.</li>
<li><strong>Twitter Promotion:</strong> Twitter is probably the simplest network to use to promote your blog. Simply post an eye-catching, 140 character or less tweet with a link to your new article.</li>
<li><strong>Facebook Promotion</strong>: Facebook offers a number of ways to promote your blog site and posts. For starters, you can create a Facebook Page for yourself or your blog.</li>
<li><strong>Digg Promotion</strong>: Digg allows members to share sites via voting, or Digging, them. The best method of sharing links via this site is not to do self-submissions, but to add a Digg submission button or badge to each article and let your readers submit your story.</li>
</ul>
<p>Tip: Remember just share a post once, or ask some of your friends to share the post as if you’ll keep on sharing posts again and again, it would make a bad impression on your readers as well as your followers too. They may think that you are spamming.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Keeping your blog up, running, and active when you’re short on time can be a chore. Not all of us have a lot of time to devote to running and organizing our blog, so sometimes time is of the essence. If that’s the dilemma you’re facing, here are a few tips that could help you stay effective when you’re blogging but are short on time.<span id="more-388"></span></p>
<h3>1. Social Networking</h3>
<p>For many, one of the most difficult aspects of blogging, and often most time consuming as well, is the promotional side of being a blogger. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and a host of other social networking sites can help you in promoting your blog while also saving you time.</p>
<p><em>Also read</em>: <a href="http://passionatebloggers.com/when-does-social-media-strategy-fails/" target="_self">When does Social Media strategy fails?</a></p>
<h3>2. You Don&#8217;t Have to Design Your Own Theme</h3>
<p>If you aren’t really proficient at HTML or CSS, or just don’t have the time to deal with such matters, then you&#8217;ll be happy to know that there are lots of themes available for WordPress and Blogger blogs. Some themes are free and others are paid, but either way you&#8217;ll save yourself the hassle of actually designing your own theme.</p>
<h3>3. Write What You Know</h3>
<p>Yep, it’s the old adage, “write what you know.” Drawing from your knowledge and experience within an industry or niche can save time on research and writing for your blog.</p>
<h3>4. Brief Isn’t Always Bad</h3>
<p>You may not always have time to write an in-depth post, and that’s okay. Sometimes just doing a brief update or short comment on something in the news, or a post to let your readers know that you’re out there and paying attention may suffice. Some of the easiest and often most entertaining posts can be as simple as a funny image or interesting video you&#8217;ve found on YouTube.</p>
<h3>5. Pool Your Resources</h3>
<p>If you’re in a time crunch, you might be able to use articles or posts from article directories or other blogs who publish under the Creative Commons license. While this might not be a perfect scenario, it can help to keep your blog looking active. You may also be able to rehash or update old ideas or previous posts so that you don’t have to come up with a completely new post idea.</p>
<h3>6. Link to Other Content</h3>
<p>Even if you don’t own the rights to certain material you’ve posted on other sites, you still may be able to use that work by writing a brief summary and then linking to it as part of a link roundup. This can also be a great way to network with or drive traffic to work you’ve done for other sites.</p>
<h3>7. Invite Others to Contribute</h3>
<p>If you really just don’t have much time to spend on your blog, you might want to consider inviting others to contribute guest posts. This can be a great time saver for you and is a means to put some other opinions and knowledge to work on your site.</p>
<h3>8. Outsource Some of Your Work</h3>
<p>Getting others to contribute to your blog is often easier said than done, especially with newer or less popular blogs. If this is the case, you might want to consider outsourcing some of the work. There are plenty of sites out there where you may purchase reasonably priced content for your blog’s niche.</p>
<h3>9. Let Your Site Do The Work</h3>
<p>While you don’t want to overload your blog with gadgets, polls, surveys, and contests, sometimes they can work for you while you’re away. Utilizing such content can provide something of interest to your visitors that they can interact with other than just reading posts.</p>
<h3>10. Advertising Issues</h3>
<p>Looking for, dealing with, and handling advertisers and their issues can be time consuming. If this type of work really isn’t your thing or you don’t want to spend the time on it, consider letting someone else do the work for you. Programs like Google’s AdSense do the dirty work for you and let you reap the rewards. While over the long term this might not be the best strategy for maximizing advertising revenue, it can certainly save you time and allow you to focus on building and bettering your blog.</p>
<p><em>Also read</em>: <a href="http://extremetrix.com/tips-to-monetize-your-blog/" target="_blank">Tips to monetize a blog</a>.</p>
<h3>In Conclusion</h3>
<p>It’s important to remember that it isn’t always about the amount of time you spend on your blog but how you make the most efficient use of the time you do have. Just because you sit in front of the computer for hours, staring at your blog, doesn’t mean you’re making it better. Sometimes the best work is quick, efficient work!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The impact of social media on the behavior of your customers is increasing every day and nobody can deny it. According to stats, more than 90% of online consumers go to social media websites before buying a product and more than 50% of them take decisions on the basis of information they get from these social media<span id="more-351"></span> websites, hence no business owner irrespective of the size, type or location of their business can afford to ignore the social media websites in their marketing strategy especially when nine out of your ten customers go to these websites before coming to you.</p>
<p>Although many businesses have already joined and created accounts on popular social networking websites, but still most of them are not able to leverage any kind of benefit from these sites, here we&#8217;ll discuss few of the reasons about why your social media strategy failed and what you should do to avoid such mistakes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2833 aligncenter" title="Social Networks" src="http://extremetrix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/social-media-300x213.jpg" alt="Social Networking sites" width="300" height="213" /></p>
<p><strong>Using social media for broadcasting </strong>– Time and again, we see that most of the companies use their social networking accounts only for making new announcements related to their products and never participate in any kind of conversations. Social networking websites are created for doing conversations and your overall social media strategy fails at the moment when you stop participating in conversations with your target audience and start using your accounts as a medium to broadcast news related to your company.</p>
<p><strong>Lacks of consistency</strong> &#8211; Many businesses join social networking websites with great expectations, but they stop updating your accounts when they can&#8217;t see quick results in form of new clients and increase revenues. Developing relationships on social media websites is a slow process. So have patience and don&#8217;t leave your social networking accounts unattended for months because nothing hurts your credibility more than when a user found your account which was not updated from a long time.</p>
<p><strong>Having Nothing Valuable to Say</strong> – Your target audience expects you to be an expert in your niche when you are trying to sell something to them. Mostly, business owners don’t update their accounts for days because they can’t find anything that can be shared with their target audience. It gives bad signals to your target audience. So, if you want to establish yourself as an expert amongst them, make sure that you have something valuable to share with them.</p>
<p><strong>When you stop behaving like a person</strong> &#8211; It is easier to develop a relationship with a human being as compared to building relationship with a company. Your potential customers will always prefer to buy from a friend instead of buying anything from a logo or a company. Make your social networking accounts as human as possible. Don’t limit yourself to product announcements or to conversations related to your products. Take a leap and start participating in conversations which are of interest to your potential buyer. It could be anything from sports to politics, movies to food. And Yes, Don’t forget to enjoy.</p>
<p>So there are the four mistakes which according to us can kill your overall social media campaigns, but we now want to know what more mistakes you think one should avoid on social networking sites. Please share your opinions in the comments below.</p>
