You already know your blog is a great place to share ideas and educate your audience—but it can also be one of the most effective tools for marketing your business.
Once a post is published, there are a number of ways you can get it in front of the right people without starting from scratch every time. Whether you are just getting started or looking to make better use of the content you already have, these seven ideas will help you use your blog as a consistent and sustainable marketing tool.
#1 – Pin It to Pinterest
Pinterest is one of the easiest ways to drive consistent traffic to your blog over time. Create a few pins for each blog post using free tools like Canva, and upload them to Pinterest with a short caption, keywords, and a direct link to your blog post.
#2 – Share It on Instagram
Use your blog post as a starting point for Instagram content. Pull out a few helpful takeaways, share a personal story that connects to the topic, or create a carousel post with tips from your blog. You can link directly to the blog post in your bio or Stories.
#3 – Add a Link to Your Email Signature
Update your email signature to include a link to your latest blog post. This is a subtle way to drive traffic and share valuable content with people you are already in contact with—clients, collaborators, and potential leads.
#4 – Share It on LinkedIn
If your ideal clients or professional network are active on LinkedIn, repurpose your blog content into a LinkedIn post or article. Share insights from your post, ask a question to encourage engagement, and link back to your blog for those who want to read more. This helps position you as an authority in your field and keeps you top-of-mind with your connections.
#5 – Use It In a Newsletter
Instead of creating something brand new for your email list each time, turn your blog post into a short, helpful newsletter. Pull in a few highlights, write a short intro, and link back to the full post for anyone who wants to dive deeper.
#6 – Link It in Your FAQs or Services Page
If your blog post answers a common question or explains part of your process, link to it directly from your FAQ or Services page. This not only adds clarity for potential clients but provides them with additional information typically not shared on a FAQ or Services page.
#7 – Add It to Your Welcome Guide or Pricing Guide
Instead of constantly updating your client guides, include a link to relevant blog posts inside your welcome or pricing guide. This keeps your guides consistent while giving you the flexibility to update your blog with fresh, relevant information without having to redesign your documents every time.
#8 – Repurpose It Into Other Formats
Use the content of your blog post to create a reel, a downloadable freebie, or a short video. Blog posts make great anchor content that you can build smaller pieces of content around—diversifying your marketing and content and reaching new audiences.
#9 – Share It With Potential Clients
If a blog post is particularly relevant to someone who has inquired about working with you, do not hesitate to send it to them directly. Here, foundational blogs are very useful. A simple “Thought you might find this helpful!” is often appreciated and shows that you are paying attention.
