How to Use Facebook to Promote Your Articles
Facebook is a social networking site. Many people use it to find friends, look for long-lost friends, colleagues and even relatives. Yup! I use it to do this mainly. Initially I was quite fascinated with the different kinds of applications, games and groups that you can add to your profile. They were fun and addictive. I wasted a lot of time on them.
But once I realized that they were not making me productive at all, I stopped completely. I deleted all the applications that were useless to me and did not help me add earnings to my pocket. I deleted them all. I left my writing site application, Triond, and Twitter to help promote my articles.
Whenever I publish new content on Triond, I will log in to Facebook to share it with my friends in Facebook and put it up on my profile page, so that my friends will know about them when they read the newfeed about me. You can add URL in the same way. So even if there is no application with your writing site, you can still do this with your article URL.
I also broadcast my blog in Facebook. I have added a newsfeed for my blog in Facebook, so that my friends can read them as well. Once updated, it will automatically capture new content on my blog. It’s a great way to get an audience for your blog too. So make use of Facebook, not just to play Sudoku or throw sheep at your friends, use it to promote your articles instead.
