New Exclusive Content for Issue 68

Upgrade your social media presence, and engage your audience in a whole new way!

As part of our 2015 Start Connecting initiative, we’ve made it our goal to help you leverage the power of content marketing by giving you the tools you need to upgrade your social media presence and engage your audience in a whole new way. To do this, we’re launching the social media shares page where you can access our exclusive content—available to share online and within the pages of your personal magazine—so you can continue to start conversations online and off.

Share One, or Share Them All

Select and share Issue 68's exclusive, timely content on social media, and position yourself to be the topic of conversations during all of this season's big events.

We’ve cooked up 12 exclusive recipes, playing off our “One Dish Wonders” article from Issue 68. Each recipe started with just one base ingredient, much like the menus of the restaurants featured in the article, and were adapted to fit two opposing styles: casual Party Starters (perfect for game-day get-togethers), and classy Petite Treats (great for awards show parties).

Choose your favorites to include in your American Lifestyle magazine, and then share them all on your social media pages.

Using the New Social Media Shares Page

We’ve made it so easy to share timely content with your contacts.

Step 1: Select the content you want to share.

Navigate to the social media shares page within your account, and choose the content you want to share on social media.

Step 2: Choose where you want to share.

Once you have clicked an item to share on social media, it will navigate you to the post for that specific content in a new browser tab. From there, you will have option to choose which social media platforms you want to share to, as well as an option to send via e-mail.

Step 3: Add your own message.

We wanted to make engaging on social media as easy as possible, so we have added a default message tailored to the specific content and social platform you choose to share on. However, you can also replace this default message with your own custom text.

 

 

 

Stop Limiting Your Traffic

Without a social media presence, your incoming traffic is limited to those who are already familiar with your brand, and individuals searching for SEO terms that you have a high-ranking for.

By expanding your profiles and activating your social media presence with valuable content across all of them, you’re essentially leaving pointers (this way!), creating signals that improve SE rankings, and forging links back to your site. Increased activity will lead to opportunities, and those opportunities will lead to more inbound traffic. It’s obvious what more inbound traffic will lead to, so open up the barricades, and help these new connections and opportunities find you. They’re out there and searching, so why not guide them in your direction before they’re turned elsewhere?
