The social media world is changing daily. In other words, we must be alert and aware of the new tools that could support us in our approach. This interesting article speaks about some "new" tools that can also help us to go towards to success. [note Martin Gysler]
It’s time to teach that old dog some new tricks.
That old dog I’m referring to is social media.
Sure, you’re already blogging, and on Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook, and more. Great.
But I’m telling you — there’s more to social media than meets the eye. The final chapter on social media hasn’t been written.
When I kicked off my writing business in April, I decided to use social media my way.

A really great blog post can bring a flood of visitors to your website when people who read your post share it with the world.
The best way to create a potentially viral blog post is to experiment with lots of different types of blog posts and to observe what has worked for other blogs.
Below I’m going to share 11 blog post ideas you can use to get more traffic. These ideas each came by examining popular posts from some of my favorite blogs.

This is the most important part of you blog post because it’s what your visitors have come for, so if you want them to enjoy it and come back, you need to make sure it’s up to a good standard.

Even if you don’t know the exact title of your post, you should atleast know what it’s going to be about, so put that in a circle in the middle of the page and work out from there with a spider diagram...
