A short, animated, educational video. You\u2019ll create two pieces of content \u2013 which already increases the chances of reaching out to more people. The clip is dedicated to make viewers read the article, endorsing your post twice-fold.<\/p>\n<p>Mention that for more information, they can click the link in the description box to read the whole article.<\/p>\n<p>Then Youtube, Vimeo, Veoh, or even Tumblr could host your upload, and have it ready to be shared.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.)Use Flipboard <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plugmatter.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/\/1453466987_image06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-1429 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/plugmatter.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/\/1453466987_image06.jpg\" alt=\"image06.jpg\" width=\"419\" height=\"314\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What platform could make the process of sharing easier, and more social, than <em>WordPress<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Flipboard. The Flipboard extension <strong>arranges your posts in a newsletter format<\/strong>. The social network aggregator features <em>who <\/em>shared the post, below the headline.<\/p>\n<p>So if Aleyda Solis of Orianti shares your article on Flipboard, users will <em>surely <\/em>know.<\/p>\n<p>After signing up on their official page, download the bookmarklet and upload your posts onto the interface.<\/p>\n<p>It even <strong>allows you to tag other users<\/strong>, whose content you may have shared, or mentioned in your post, or even if you just want them to check out your post.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing <em>who\u2019s <\/em>shared <em>what <\/em>can play a big part in a reader\u2019s willingness to read the article. And that\u2019s what you can freely advertise, to get an even bigger readership.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a03.)<strong>Be persistent with email-outreach efforts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plugmatter.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/\/1453466987_image07.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-1427 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/plugmatter.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/\/1453466987_image07.gif\" alt=\"image07.gif\" width=\"420\" height=\"263\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sure, it is a <em>time-tested<\/em> means to promote yourself.<\/p>\n<p>You reach out to influential bloggers. You note your appreciation for <em>their<\/em> content. You mention your achievements, which is <em>your<\/em> content. You link them to your page. Then you request that if they think it is good, to share it to their audience.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some crucial advice<\/em> \u2013 <strong>ensure that the people you reach out to, know that you\u2019ve reached out to them<\/strong>. They may have missed your email, or received it in their spam folder. On social media, let them know you\u2019ve contacted them.<\/p>\n<p>Also, in case they still haven\u2019t replied, <strong>send a second email a short while later, to remind them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The key, as always, is persistence.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.)Use a Social Locker <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plugmatter.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/\/1453466987_image03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-1428 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/plugmatter.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/\/1453466987_image03.jpg\" alt=\"image03.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A social locker plugin like <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/social-locker\/\">this one<\/a> provides one the best incentives for a reader to share content.<\/p>\n<p>And that incentive is \u2013 to be able to <em>read the whole article<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Your captivating headline has brought you an interested reader. He clicks on your headline. Reads your article halfway through. He judges it as worth reading, and well-written.<\/p>\n<p>He is on all toes to read the rest.<\/p>\n<p>He can\u2019t. <strong>You place an ultimatum <\/strong>\u2013 <em>if you\u2019ve thought this was worth reading, share this article to read further. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>And by doing so, visitors have a powerful incentive to share your content. To be fair, <strong>consider previewing at least a third, or half, of your article<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>To conclude<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I hope these slightly uncommon, but potentially rewarding tips help endorse your content, and your name.
