So you’ve been busy working on a blog post and you’re finally ready to hit the publish button. Fantastic!<\/p>\r\n

One problem: just because you publish a post, doesn’t mean anyone will know about it or read it.<\/p>\r\n

You need to make sure you share your work with people who want to read it or might be interested in discovering your writing.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

There are two great ways to do this. The first is by having an email list. Not long ago, we wrote about how to set up an automatic RSS<\/a> or manual<\/a> email newsletter for your blog.<\/p>\r\n

Along with using email, we recommend you share your blog posts on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

There are many places you can do this. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn are popular platforms and no doubt you have your favorites.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

This post zooms in on how to share your blog posts on Twitter which remains to be a popular platform for educators worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Once upon a time, you could create a tweet by simply copying and pasting the link to your blog post. This is still the go-to approach for some, but is it the best strategy to make your tweet stand out?<\/p>\r\n

Does this example<\/a> make you excited to click through to the post?<\/p>\r\n

\"Tweet<\/a><\/p>\r\n

We’re here to help you power up your tweets and invite a whole new community of readers to your blog or website.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

If you’re using a different social media platform, some of these tips will certainly still apply. Just modify them to suit the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Before we dive into the eight tips, let’s start with the basics of sharing a link…<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Get Your Link Right<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While there are much better approaches than simply copying and pasting the link to your latest blog post, the link is still going to be the most important part of your tweet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You need to get it right!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tip One: Share the link to the actual blog post. Not the blog itself<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For example, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com is this link or URL of this blog<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/tweet-tips is the link to this blog post<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you send readers to your blog and not <\/em>a specific post, they won’t know what they’re supposed to be reading. They’ll have to click around to find the post they want to read… or leave!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The best way to get the link to your blog post correct is to open it up in your browser and copy\/paste it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Keyboard shortcuts make this easy! For example, if you’re using Windows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
