1. Talk to other bloggers.
The best thing about blogger - for me anyway - is the community. There's nothing like chatting away to hundreds of other people who love exactly what you do. A great way to start is by using the #bbloggers hashtag on Twitter. You can use it all the time - there's no limit but there are dedicated chats every Wednesday and Sunday evening. You can find out more about these here.
2. Tag and mention brands.
When you've blogged about a certain product, make sure that you "@" the brand on Twitter or mention them on Facebook. The chances are, they'll notice your tweet and give it a little retweet which drives more traffic to your blog. It's also a great way to network with brands and if they notice you enjoy their products, who knows what they'll offer for you! Not just brands but make sure you follow PR companies in case any opportunities come up.
3. Don't just use Twitter and Facebook.
This about it, social network is huge. I'm sure I've read somewhere that it's the most used "thing" on the internet - even overtaking porn. So make sure you make the most. Use sites such as Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, YouTube etc. Don't just think about the obvious. Join every social network you possibly can and encourage your followers to follow you on them so that they can keep up with your posts.
What are your top tips on using social media? Do you have any advice? How do you use social media?
