A5: Look for places like #AllTop.com to syndicate your blog.

A5: hyperlink and mention other blogs about the same topic in your post. That will create relationships with other bloggers who will most likely share and reference your blogs in the future.

A5: One way is to invite guest bloggers with established audiences, so they can introduce you to their readers.

Share on all your social channels

Q4 amplify on a variety of social media channels and direct back to blog

A5: also knowing when and were to share that blog post on your social media platform is key.

A5: Make sure that you are using your blog content as sharable info in your other social networks. It won't generate traffic by magic.

A5: one more specific way (depending on your target market) is to share on other social media other than Twitter/LinkedIn/Facebook

A5: I also read that you can post your blog on LinkedIn and get the benefit of that reach. It's recommended you do this a few days or a week after posting on your own blog.

Tie in a #crowdchat with your #blog topic to optimize audience reach.

Use the LinkedIn Publishing tool - great traffic generator.

@paulkrappman darn, I WAS totally going to try magic method! "Abracadabra read my posts"

A5: If you can, reference influencers in your space to extend your blog's reach.

@denisebahs the publishing tool on LinkedIn is a perfect place to build your social authority with your blog

@GilbBrian I've never used it.

Lynn, its an excellent tool. Check it out. https://help.linkedi...

One tactic I've seen used successfully is to interview top bloggers and publish the conversation. It generates links from those popular people and gets readership.

@GilbBrian Thank you!

@pgillin Yes! A Q&A is an easy way to generate some new content.

One thing I try to keep in mind is to post to a blog instead of sending an email. If you're answering a question that others might find interesting, why limit the audience to one person?

Q6: remember your audience when writing your #blog for #b2b

Q6: #Blog posts don't need to be long! 300-500 words. Break it up into multiple posts. :)

A6: Best advice? Get started -- now! #blog

A:6 See who is already blogging in your space and understand what niche you can fill. Make sure you have enough content and content contributors to keep up the consistency. #blogging

A6: have a consistent pace with quality articles.

Quality over quantity.

Q6 every organization should have a #blog/calendar. Blogs don't have to be long. Rely on your staff to assist with content.

Q6: keep it real...and your voice relatable when writing for #b2b

@PaulKrappman in process! Launching soon.

Q6 Your #blog should be amplified via your other social channels and directed back.

Q6 #blogs aren't scary!

@denisebahs Completely agree. There's a misperception that blog posts need to be lengthy. 50 words is fine.

A4: I strive for once per week - don't always make it, but that is my goal.

A4: For B2B specifically, twice a week would be optimal. Anymore than that would take too much time unless you have a staff writing full time

A4: If you are just starting out in blogging, aim for once a week.

A4: A certain amount depends on your industry and topic, but once a week is a good start.

A4: if you have more than one writer or contributor, then its possible, but not recommended

I always tell students to do what they can - just get started!

A4: consistency over frequency for blogging for #B2B

A4: Once per week is so manageable when starting out a lot less daunting...once you have topics of course!

A4: After you have established the habit, set your goal to two blog posts per week. But, don't force it - it'll show.

Great stats from @HubSpot here: http://bit.ly/1yWmbv...

A4: A well known author I know used to say writing is like exercise, you have to do it regularly.

@SandyRikkers When I started it was once per month!

@paulkrappman Can't agree with you more.

@paulkrappman although if writing is exercise, looks like I pulled a muscle recently.

We try to post once a week, then email a monthly digest of the posts.

@GilbBrian - Okay, let's not get too graphic, LOL

I love the monthly digest idea, @lynnmcginnis

Not all of our clients are on social media. Our blog traffic is our #1 referral most weeks.

According to Hubspot, twice a week is about optimal. There's a big dropoff in inbound links if you post less than once a week, but not much upside to posting more than twice a week.

Another thing you can do it post a roundup of interesting articles you've seen during the week. It's quick and useful.
