Social Media is a great source for traffic for traffic for newbie bloggers. If you’re a newbie, you should start with social media for promoting your blog and blog posts. The biggest social networks where people hang out are Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.
Facebook will be one of your most important traffic source if you’re starting out with a new site. You don’t even need to have a page with many likes.
You just need to be in great Facebook groups to drive high traffic to your website/blog. How to do that? Suppose you’re writing on a topic ‘A’, make sure you join the groups that are related to the topic ‘A’. And after you are done with the post, just share those post on those sites.
