The more you engage in, it will be easier to develop your profile and get more followers, more clicks, and more traffic.

You should not only share your content but also some thoughts from leaders. this will help you in building authority and credibility on social media which will help you in long term results.

#2 Use hashtags and visual content for sharing

Use hashtags in order to get your posts noticeable (this is especially helpful for Twitter, as Facebook clients are not as excited about hashtags). For twitter also use only 1-2 hashtags per tweet which are related to your blog and also used actively by others.

Also use some kind of visual content with you post as people get attracted to visual content fast.
