Hi Nanda
Visual Social media is certainly taking off and I think now everyone is starting to pay attention.
Those networks like Pinterest and Instagram are just the tip of the iceberg!

Hi Ashley,

Nice post!
Indeed, in social media, visuals are very important. I have no doubt about this. Especially for Pinterest and Instagram, these social media is likely be created for a visual needs.

Yes, I totally agree with you. You must use a visual approach in your content, it will be very helpful in attracting readers.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Ashley.
Have a nice day for you.

In reply to garlic. A great plugin to try for SEO is Wordpress SEO by Yoast. That is what most bloggers use on Wordpress and it is great

Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search
Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success.
If you know of any please share. Many thanks!

Hi Geri
Thanks for coming over!
Pictures are one of my pet topics. I spend a lot of time on them for each post and can recommend trying Canva if you have a chance.
Makes making good images with text easier.

Pinterest is a perfect place to get traffic for visuals, so once you have that down, check it out.
I get lots of traffic from a small audience and it keeps coming back even months after a post. That does not happen on other social media sites.
Seriously consider it.

Hi Ashley,

I found you on Adrienne’s blog and I loved your post on re purposing content.

I totally agree about pictures. A magazine would be pretty boring without pictures so, I tend to think of my blog in that way. I love looking at pictures but, having said that, I don’t do anything with Pinterest. I have an account there but, I don’t participate. IT’S TIME that’s the culprit.

Thanks for another great post.

Hi Ashley; Thanks for the mention. I have ben getting a lot of new visitors to that post. I finally got curious enough to check why. I figured they were coming from the podcast. I didn’t know you also included a link to my Pinterest post in here. For anyone writing a blog this is a great technique to implement in your posts linking to other posts whether they b yours or relevant external links. Ashley you rock, and I’m lucky to have met you. Thanks again and take care, Max
