Easy Ways to Increase Your Online Presence

By Jamie Faidley Tweet

Social media can eat up a lot of time.  Once you make a blog post you may be going around to Twitter and Facebook and posting a link to the post that you just created on your blog.  To counter that I use automated processes.  This means that once I hit the publish button on my wordpress blog, an update gets sent to my Twitter feed, which updates my Facebook status, and then my RSS feed updates on my Facebook page.

Just make sure that you are posting relevant information for your audience and that you are also sprinkling in some of your own status updates or Tweets.  You don't want to seem like a robot, or a spammer.

WordTwit

You can automatically post from your blog to Twitter using Wordtwit.  It's easy to use and you can even use a short URL that features your domain name.

Networked Blogs

If you want to have your RSS feed display on Facebook then use the application NetworkedBlogs.  Once they have verified you as the owner of the site, the posts that you create will automatically display on your feed.

Twitter App on Facebook

The Twitter app on Facebook can help you to automatically re-post all your status updates from Twitter onto your Facebook status.  If you use WordTwit, this will help you get notifications of new blog posts out there.  Plus, if you are doing your own Tweets, you won't have to login to Facebook to update that separate audience.
