How People Share Your Content On The Internet

Do share buttons works and do people really used them? I personally believe share buttons are very useful and every blog would hugely benefit from having them. For example proimpact7.com currently receives more than 35% of traffic from different social networking sites thanks to displaying sharing buttons in each post visibly.

And some of you reading this post right now arrived to our site via social networks, just because one single person has posted it somewhere. After you start using them, I can guarantee you that your traffic level will increase by minimum of 20% if your content is of any value to anybody out there. Highly recommend!

Bellow you can see a chart from AddToAny, a company that provides web publishing buttons, about how people used their AddToAny sharing tool.

NOTE: This chart only represents websites using AddToAny sharing tool and unfortunately doesn’t tell us what the percentage of overall visitors who used it is.

I am just following on the post “Allow Your Blog Readers to Receive Your New Posts Via E-mail” where I was talking about why you should allow to your readers to receive updates via email as well. In here I will show you, how to enable feed updates via e-mail in your blog if you use Feedburner.

firstly log in to your Feedburner account
then go to Publicize/Email Subscription and activate it
once activated, your visitors will be able to subscribe to your feed update via email as shown in the 2nd picture

NOTE: in our proimpact7 blog we have also placed an e-mail sign up field in the right hand navigation bar to clearly indicate to our visitors that they can receive new posts via email too.

Allow Your Blog Readers to Receive Your New Posts Via E-mail

I recently came across a blog I liked, but when I decided to sign up I discovered that the only option to receive post updates was to sign up for RSS. So I didn’t sign up.

So what’s the problem with RSS? No problem, I just don’t like it. I prefer to receive an email right to my inbox and I am not the only person, as some people even don’t know what RSS is and how to use it.

I used to use RSS, but I stopped for the following reasons- 1st – it was slowing down my computer, as apart from RSS, I have tons of other applications using Adobe Air and similar based apps and my machine doesn’t like it, 2nd – I was receiving so many alerts, that after a while I just stopped bothering to read them as I could not keep up with the information overload!

Don’t underestimate the power of e-mail and don’t assume that your readers know how to use RSS. Many people still prefer e-mails! And with Feedburner it’s very simple to alert your readers about the new post at your pre-set time, plus it’s FREE to use. At proimpact7.com blog, we believe it is good to give people the option, so we use both RSS and e-mail sign up powered by Feedburner. It’s easy to set up and once set up you don’t need to worry about anything else. I highly recommend it.
