The trick to get a lot of views on twitter is to create threads that have a strong hook. The easiest way to find them is to look for threads that went viral for your competitors.

Don’t forget to pin a tweet with a link to your blog or email list on your profile and include links to your blog or newsletter as replies to your tweets themselves.

4. Pinterest

Organize your pins into well-curated boards and use SEO-friendly descriptions to enhance discoverability.

The great thing about Pinterest is that it allows you to directly link to your blog from within the article.

5. Facebook Pages
