Repeat after me: “I didn’t go to all of the trouble to write this blog post and then not take the time to promote it.”
Remember that marketing is a system you install (when it’s done right). Part of good blogging is taking the time to promote your post after you hit “publish.”
YES: share your real wedding blog posts with any other involved wedding vendors.
NO: hit publish then take a nap.
The easiest ways to share your blog posts are with free apps and plug-ins like Shareaholic (I use this one), Blog2Social (I tried this one…has great potential and easy-to-use, but it didn’t work right with my theme), Social Networks Auto Poster (I use this one…set-up was complicated so I had to hire someone from Upwork to help), Crowd Fire (I also love this one), Hoot Suite, and CoSchedule (I tried this one and found it to be too complicated, but the features are great).
