How do you promote your blog on social media?

[overcast]

I have one garden specific blog. And I have few posts that I can promote on social media. I am not sure how to do the paid promotion. And I don't have much budget either. But I make sure to use the various friends and their groups to promote my content. So far not much success to be honest. But I work with whatever traffic I can get from social media.

Do you have any tips or tricks where you can promote your blog on social media and get regular traffic?

I wish I knew. I suck at marketing.

Honestly it all depends on the niche... and what social media your audience uses.

I have one garden specific blog.

For Garden I would focus on Pinterest and Instagram but mainly Pinterest.

Unless we are smart, it's difficult to promote any website, in social media without opting for paid services.
Usually people don't spend too much time in reading anything these days.

So, it's probably a good idea to make a short video about what your website has to offer. It can be about the content or any other additional features. Or you could go with paid services with a few keywords as well.

I agree with @Claraviolet you could do a video commercial for your business, could help if you do a youtube channel as well and grow it to monetize it.

We still need to do the ground work of, effective graphic usage.

If the visuals are really good, only then people would watch and the attention span of people these days, is just less than 5-10 seconds. I don't have such stunning graphic making skills and I envy people who got them. I did try to make use of Photoshop and video editing courses before, but I am no good with those software.

You should join Facebook groups that have the same topic of discussion as your blog. After that you can share your articles there and interact with people who are interested in that subject

If you really want to promote your blog using social media, I suggest you set a link that will link your social media to your blog directly or you can past post on your social media that can link people directly to your blog.

Most time I do paid adverts. For example on Facebook, I run adverts from time to time, and also I pay group admins and page owners to help me run adverts.

Paying an influencer in a particular region or a wide influencer ,I think can really be productive

Creat Facebook groups centres to your blog post topics. Join as many Facebook groups as possible as you can on your blog type and contribute meaningfully by making quality post and directing traffic to your blog at the same time

When I create a blog, I also create social pages for my blog, mostly a Facebook page and a Twitter account. I start by sharing content and also building an audience. I also frequently run ads and promote my content through ads to reach more people and also grow my social pages.

Promoting your blog on social media is as easy as posting a link to your post to your social profiles. The only problem is with Facebook, as they've come down on posts with links. So What you want to do on Facebook, is make a post talking about your blog post, but don't link to it right in the post itself. Ask users to go to the comments and find the link there.

What I heard is that Facebook doesn't push the posts that show a link outright, but if you post your link in the comments instead, it will likely get more eyes on it as Facebook won't block it from being viewed.

Also Facebook has ad options for advertising your services. I don't usually use it, but you can pay Facebook to put your ads at the front of your friends when they go on Facebook, and you can probably spend more to get your ads posted all over facebook and not just to your friends list.
