You might question why someone would want to reBlog another writer's work. What good could it possibly do you to repeat someone's post in a different location? ReBlogging is a valuable tool provided through ActiveRain. Read on if you want to know why.....
One of the reasons many of us blog is to share information with the rest of the members and with the world in general. ActiveRain Bloggers share all the time. There are so many great tutorials, reviews of new technology and programs, marketing ideas, life advice, etc. When I see something particularly interesting I like to reBlog it for my readers. I can't tell you how many times I have gotten a comment that thanked me for letting someone see something that they might have otherwise missed. It is satisfying to pass on good information.
Many people might wonder how a reBlog can help you in your business. I tell you that a reBlog of consumer related posts can gain you prospects by osmosis. Someone else's good information will be valuable to someone reading your blog. It is important to personalize your reBlog by providing your own commentary at the top of the page when you hit reBlog. This will allow you to customize the blog post to your region if needed and to thank the original writer of the post.
After you hit the reBlog button go back and edit the post. At this time you can tag it, send it out to your Groups, and add it to your Outside Blog if you are a RainMaker. This step will get the post out to a wider audience. It is a step that many do not know to do or realize is even possible.
ReBlogging is not stealing the original Blogger has given their permission by allowing it. ReBlogging is not the lazy Bloggers way to get ahead, trust me some of the most active Bloggers here reBlog all the time. ReBlogging is a way to spread that ActiveRain to others and to put someone else's good thoughts to work for you. Oh and BONUS for those of you interested in points you get 25 points for each reBlog!
ReBlogging Is Not Cheating - It Is Sharing And Compliments The Original Blog Post!
Now Go Out In The Rain And Feel Free To ReBlog - It Is A Good Thing!
