Distribute Your Blog Post to Facebook!

To be successful at Internet marketing, you need to have your content in many places.  Many times the difference between a successful internet business, and one that does not make a profit, is simply getting your story in front of enough people.  I’m sure you are constantly busy, making new content, trying to get the word out.  You need to be able to leverage your time and efforts, and let people know about your new posts with the least amount of effort.

People want to learn about your new content in their favorite sites, which today is most commonly Facebook.  People on Facebook search for answers and advice to their problems on Facebook.  Getting your word in front of these people can be very important for your business.
 
Since Facebook is where over 300 million active users live, it is critical to get the word out about your new blog posts on Facebook.  The best way to accomplish this task it to add your blog’s RSS feed to your Facebook profile or Facebook Page.  Then whenever you post a new story on your blog, it automatically updates Facebook for you, saving you time, and effort.
 
Think about how much easier it will be to take a little time to setup your feed on Facebook one time, rather than going back to Facebook every time you post an article to post an update about your new post.  Even if it only saves you five or ten minutes a day, that adds up to a lot of time over a month.  Time you could be using to create more content, and to communicate more with your market.
 
To get your feed setup on Facebook only takes these few steps:
  1. Go to your WordPress Administration Control Panel – Plugins – Add New.
