This post's overview:<\/p>
In this post, I\u2019d like to tell you my top\u00a010 Social Media tips for bloggers, so you’ll find out how to grow your Social Media followers. This post is suitable for any bloggers, but I will mainly focus on Travel Bloggers since I\u2019m one of them. So let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n
First, I would like to tell you a bit about myself (so you don\u2019t feel like \u201cwho\u2019s this person and why is she giving me advice?\u201d). Well, my name\u2019s Liza, I\u2019m 24 y.o. travel addict. I founded this blog together with my boyfriend Pepe in January 2016 and since that time I managed to get more than 41K followers on all my Social Media channels<\/a> (as of April 2017).<\/strong><\/p>\n My main channel is Instagram with more than 28.5K followers<\/a>\u00a0(want more tips about Instagram? Check this post!<\/a>)<\/strong>, followed by Twitter (10K)<\/a><\/strong> and Pinterest (1.5K)<\/a><\/strong>. I also have Facebook Page and YouTube channel, but I haven\u2019t invested enough time in them to tell you about the impressive results I got (there are no significant results yet).<\/p>\n I used to work as a Digital Marketing Manager and then as a Social Media Manager (so well, I really know some tricks, believe me). However, corporate Social Media is very different from your own or your blog\u2019s Social Media, so in this post, I’ll focus more on personal accounts.<\/p>\n For a blogger, it\u2019s crucial to be present on the main Social Media. Even for your Media Kit, you will need some essential Social Media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube. Pinterest is optional, but if you\u2019re a fashion blogger or a foodie blogger, you need to include it in your media kit too. Besides Pinterest is the fastest and the most painless way to bring traffic to your blog.<\/p>\n What\u2019s a Media Kit? Well, it\u2019s a file, mostly pdf, or an infographic, presenting your blogging success to the advertisers, so they choose to work with you. We also have a basic media kit and you can find it on the work with us page.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The bigger Social Media following you have, the more chances, that you will be chosen by an advertiser (of course if you want to earn money blogging at all and if you have a good engagement, too. Buying followers isn’t an option, believe me)- and with a big social media following you can easily get offers in the various Influencer networks. Wanna know more about them? Read this post.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n There are so many social media networks out there and it\u2019s just impossible to be present and active everywhere. I\u2019ve tried that and I failed. You will either get tired or burned out, but there are only a few people who generally enjoy posting to 10+ social media 24\/7. Because you also need to work\/study\/write for your blog\/do house chores\/travel\/meet friends. And that all is not possible if you\u2019re trying to be active on all the social media. Instead, just try to focus on 2-3 main social media for you.<\/p>\n Example. You\u2019re a DIY blogger and you want to choose, which Social Media networks to use. In case you already use Google Analytics for your blog, just check your demographic details. Who are you readers (male\/female), how old are they? In the case of DIY, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube are probably the best.<\/p>\n In you are a budget travel blogger, check your Google Analytics for more details. I would recommend you to use Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram. Even though Instagram doesn\u2019t drive so much traffic to the blog (that does Pinterest), it is essential for travel blogging. You can also score some great collaborations with hotels and tourism boards just because of your amazing Instagram!<\/strong> As for Twitter, well, in some countries like Germany, Twitter is DEAD. In case, you\u2019re living in the States or in the UK, maybe Australia and Canada too and you have some active friends on Twitter, this will work for you too. However, I know many people, who just don\u2019t enjoy posting stuff on Twitter. Pinterest, on the contrary, works pretty much for everybody!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n
