Building A Community with Social Media
This week I am going to be diving into social media. There are probably just as many blogs dedicated to social media as there are blogs dedicated to SEO. So let’s take a look at a few articles.

This article goes through some easy steps to make your site and your posts social media-friendly. From those little icons so readers can bookmark or share to setting up a blog. There is also a few great links provided through the article.
Matt McGee, the author, also stresses the importance of the headline of your posts. Having an eye-catching title that draws the reader into the post is something that isn’t just geared towards social media. It seems pretty obvious to me that if you are writing things online, especially a blog, that one of your main goals is to get people to read it.

I will be writing something later on this week which will give more information about this, but Chris Brogan’s article gives a lot of great tips.
