Facebook has an application entitled Networked Blogs. You add your blog at Facebook . . . and . . . you gain followers, if you use the application properly.
First off, you should become familiar with the ins and outs of adding a blog to Facebook Networked Blogs so that you get the most from the program.
Once you’ve added your blog, there’s a daily step you can take, that, if followed, will net you blog readers. What is that?
Facebook allows you to invite 16 people from your Facebook friends. By going to your blog at Facebook and clicking on the blog thumbnail, you are taken to the page. Underneath the picture, there’s the option of inviting people to follow your blog.
Invite People to Follow Your Blog With Facebook’s Networked Blogs Invitation
- Sign in to Facebook
- Click on “Profile”
- Locate your blog thumbnail and click on it to access the page
- Select “Invite People to Follow”
- A box will come up showing your friends
- Click on 16 names until they are highlighted and the box shows as checked
- Scroll down and hit “Send Networked Blogs Invitation”
This is so easy and if you go about it consistently, adding 16 people each day, in a short time you will have invited many friends and contacts to follow your blogs, using the convenient Facebook social network
I’ve being doing this now each day and am seeing an increase in the number of blog followers and readers.
Facebook allows users to add hundreds of friends so the potential is one that can be tapped to gain a significant number of followers for your blog.
