How To Arm Blog Readers To Spread The Word

Recently, I was reminded that not everybody knows how to share a blog post from the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog.

In this day and age with more social media options than you can shake a stick at, I sometimes forget that the majority of people [my age and older :)] are pretty much limited to browsing the internet and exchanging emails. If only they knew how to share a blog post with others like them ...

Reader Asks How To Share A Blog Post

This is important because we sometimes forget what "normal" is, as we strive to stay connected in an ever-changing world. Some people just don't use these new communications options.

By way of example, a new subscriber recently wrote:

Some of us old people don't tweet, facebook or blog. If you want the word to get around, have your articles in a form that I can forward to my friend by e-mail. I liked the article on the new tax which will start in 2013, but don't know how to send it to my friends. -- Peter R

So Peter reminded me that I should take the time to periodically remind my readers how to help me spread the word. The longer the reach of the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, the better the content will be over time, so please help me gain some viral growth through email. Directly below, I will show you how to share a blog post by email, it it only takes a few seconds.

How To Share A Blog Post By Email

At the end of every blog post, you will find the following row of buttons. Each button allows the reader to share via a different source, and the one on the far left is how to share a blog post by email.

How To Share An Article

Once you click the image of the envelope, your email program should pop up with a pre-written message and a link to the current article. All you have to do is choose the recipients of the email and then click send.

Of course, you could also subscribe to the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog (see the form at the top of each post), and then every day the current blog article will be automatically emailed to you. You could then simply forward the article to people you think might find it informative.

Peter (and you too!), you now know how to share a blog post by email, so please give it a try right now and send this article (and others) to people you think should read the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog.

great post!  I think you nailed it on the head  - having those social media buttons where people can use them is the key.  Even on my posts I think they are too far down the signature - I might just move them to the top

Thanks for the tip Joe, I have all my social media icons on my blog but failed to think about those less connected than myself....I'll have to work on this one.

Thank you John and Irma ... probably makes a lot of sense for a good split test experiment.

Thank you Brian. Yeah, I need to remind myself to write a "how to share" article about once a quarter.

Thanks Diane, it's just one of those repetitive article series (that I forget to repeat :))

For a more personal touch people could print your post, slap a stamp on it, and snail mail. Sadly I have seen this done...

Nice touch! Thanks for sharing. I usually just copy/paste the URL include it in an email. Works for me!
