How to share your blog posts on Facebook and Twitter.

Mommy here is catching up with technology, and the social media. I have left my blog quiet for a few months, partly because I have been busy, and partly because I am spending more time on Facebook via iPhone. Now, with some time, I am sorting out how to continue to blog here plus using Facebook, with the minimal time required. And sharing my blog posts here to my Facebook and Twitter, preferably with only one click. Voila! I got it! Let me share with you.


Here is how to do it. First, you go to AddThis.com to make a button and install it on your blog. It is very easy. No registration is required. Just go and generate a button and install it on each blog post, NOT on your sidebar. Installing it on your individual blog post makes sharing much easier. AddThis recommends adding the buttons after the title and after the posts. After you have installed it, it will look something like what you find on this post, right below the title and date, and at the end of the posts. If you still blur about installing the buttons, go to the Help@AddThis.

Now, whenever I blog, all I have to do is click on the Twitter button. It will open up the Twitter page with my blog post title and a shortened mini url for Twitter purposes. I can add any text I like then I click submit and voila! My Twitter is updated with my latest blog post. And you can do the same for Facebook.

I highly recommend doing this to all bloggers who are blogging and especially those who have a few blogs. Your goal is to get higher page impressions and more visitors for your advertisers. This is one way to do it. It helps your friends and followers keep up with your latest updates on ALL of your blogs on one page whichever social networking site they may prefer whether it is Twitter or Facebook. I am limiting to two social networking sites because those are the sites I am on at the moment.

Your readers can easily click on any of your blog post if they have the time and inclination and it makes it so much easier for them to follow than having each and every one of your blogs on their blog reader and trying to know when you update which blog. Nowadays many people have several blogs and it is hard to keep up with each and every one of them for each and every blogger on your blogroll. This makes it easier for everyone. They can then choose what they want or don’t want to read.

So what are you waiting for? Go do it now! Then tell the world.. go tell your readers, I mean. Announce it on your Twitter, Facebook and Blog. Make it easier for everyone to follow you whatever method they may choose to do so.

You can also checkout my Facebook page and my Twitter page to see how my blog updates look like on Facebook and Twitter. And hey, if you like this blog post, why not click on my Facebook Like button above (below the title and date and sharing buttons) and see what happens?

For the know how on how to install the Facebook Like button like mine, you can easily get the code and follow the instructions at Blogger Plugins.

I installed these buttons for my own use but if lets say you have those buttons and someone likes your post, they can easily share it on their Facebook and Twitter pages in the same manner. Do test it out. Its really cool!
