Employing some social media strategies along with your blogging will help develop a well-followed blog.
There are some stunning social media statistics of which bloggers
should be aware. If Twitter were a country all its own, it would be the
12th largest in the world; not to mention, users compose a mind-blowing
750 million tweets each second of every day. So when you tweet your
posts, your goal should be inspiring Twitter followers to open your
links in 140 characters or less.
For example, if you blog about the top ten laptops on the market today, encourage followers to click on your URL with engaging tweets. You might tweet something like, “Laptops you can't live without” or “Who is winning in the laptop arms race?”
here are approximately one billion Facebook users and they aren't all
there to share funny vacation photos. Many Facebook users want to learn
something new and follow links that interest them — including your blog
posts, potentially.
To get the most out of Facebook, make a fan page for your blog. Maintain a regular blogging schedule, and you'll be able to use Facebook as a tool for building followers and trust.
Great Tweets Make a Difference

You Need More Than Facebook Likes

Don't Ignore Digg, StumbleUpon & Pinterest
In some senses, Digg, StumbleUpon, and Pinterest are very similar.
These interactive share-just-about-anything social media venues allow
people to “thumbs up or thumbs down” certain posts categorized according
to user interests. For Digg, the more “diggs” you get, the higher your
ratings. And Stumbleupon relies upon random “stumbles” to bring users to
unexpected content, which can be a major traffic-generator.
For its own part, Pinterest is exploding in popularity. The average user spends around 98 minutes per month, and they spend 80 percent of their time repinning. So if you post links to your blog on the right Pinterest boards, chances are they'll be viewed and repinned.

Google+ Is a Gateway to Gain Followers
Statistics reveal users click on the Google+ button a whopping five
million times per day. Not only do you need to post your blog articles
on your Google+ page, you need to have a place within your blog for the
Google+ button too. This is becoming increasingly important for search
engine results as well, because Google's algorithm is moving toward
personalized results that are closely integrated with Google+ activity.
This social media platform started out as a professional networking
site, but today it has 161 million users in 200 countries. So start
posting your blog articles on LinkedIn and join LinkedIn groups (there
are approximately one million) that are similar to what you're blogging
about.
