You may remember reading on my other posts that I always advise the practice of lurking or following businesses similar to yours on Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin. If you took that advice, you may have noticed something most blog writers for small businesses do on a pretty regular basis.
It has to do with their blog posts. Whenever a savvy social marketing business posts a brand new blog article, don't you see a microblog on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with an enticing tagline and link to the post? Something like: 5 Proven Ways to get Great Leads http://ow.ly/4qEDW.
