While creating high-quality content is important, promoting and maintaining that content is what helps it reach a wider audience and generate long-term results. If you simply hit &#8220;Publish&#8221; and move on, you&#8217;re missing valuable opportunities to increase traffic, engagement, and search visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Successful bloggers actively promote new posts through email marketing, social media, backlinks, and performance tracking tools. They also revisit older content to keep it relevant and useful for readers. In this guide, we&#8217;ll cover the essential steps to take after publishing a blog post so you can maximize its reach, attract more visitors, and improve your chances of ranking higher in search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 ez-toc-wrap-right counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #565656;color:#565656\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #565656;color:#565656\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/what-to-do-after-publishing-a-blog-post\/#Promote_Your_Blog_Post_With_Email\" >Promote Your Blog Post With Email<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/what-to-do-after-publishing-a-blog-post\/#Share_Your_Blog_Post_on_Social_Media\" >Share Your Blog Post on Social Media<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/what-to-do-after-publishing-a-blog-post\/#Build_Relevant_Links_to_Your_Blog_Post\" >Build Relevant Links to Your Blog Post<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/what-to-do-after-publishing-a-blog-post\/#Track_Blog_Performance_in_Google_Analytics\" >Track Blog Performance in Google Analytics<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/what-to-do-after-publishing-a-blog-post\/#Refresh_and_Repurpose_Older_Blog_Posts\" >Refresh and Repurpose Older Blog Posts<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/what-to-do-after-publishing-a-blog-post\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/what-to-do-after-publishing-a-blog-post\/#FAQs\" >FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-promote-your-blog-post-with-email\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promote_Your_Blog_Post_With_Email\"><\/span>Promote Your Blog Post With Email<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of the type of content you have published, your first order of business, more or less, will be to start attracting and driving traffic towards it. We are sure that you agree with us on that.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/email-marketing-blog-post-alert-email-list-mailing-list-subscribers.jpg\" alt=\"email marketing illustration\" class=\"wp-image-2068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/email-marketing-blog-post-alert-email-list-mailing-list-subscribers.jpg 626w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/email-marketing-blog-post-alert-email-list-mailing-list-subscribers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/email-marketing-blog-post-alert-email-list-mailing-list-subscribers-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/email-marketing-blog-post-alert-email-list-mailing-list-subscribers-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/email-marketing-blog-post-alert-email-list-mailing-list-subscribers-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose of any blog is to be seen, read, and advertised. That&#8217;s how you get more visitors all around, both new and regular. However, even your subscribers may miss your scheduled post, especially if they aren&#8217;t aware of it or forget to check it. This is why you should find simple ways to inform existing subscribers or clients. You do this by <a href=\"https:\/\/technicalwall.com\/email-marketing\/how-to-build-an-email-list-fast\/\">setting up an e-mail list<\/a> and sending a mass e-mail after every time you publish. To maximize the potential of this method, you should draft a short <strong>\u201cteaser email\u201d<\/strong> that will draw in your subscribers to click through to your blog and share the post with their friends.<br><br>Depending on how your website is built, you can accomplish this in a variety of different ways. For example, if you are using WordPress, excellent plugins are available for your ease of use when setting up an e-mail list. If you can get a custom solution developed or develop it yourself, it would even be better and allow you a greater degree of personalization and customization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-share-your-blog-post-on-social-media\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Share_Your_Blog_Post_on_Social_Media\"><\/span>Share Your Blog Post on Social Media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we&#8217;ve talked about e-mail, but there&#8217;s an even bigger and better tool for raising awareness and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.couponxoo.com\/saving-blog\/9-effective-marketing-strategies-for-companies-on-a-tight-budget\">improving your marketing strategies<\/a>. Social media is all the rage these days, and what&#8217;s to stop you from making use of this global trend?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"626\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/spread-the-word-social-media.jpg\" alt=\"social network illustration\" class=\"wp-image-2070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/spread-the-word-social-media.jpg 626w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/spread-the-word-social-media-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/spread-the-word-social-media-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/spread-the-word-social-media-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/spread-the-word-social-media-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/spread-the-word-social-media-48x48.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> We will tell you the answer. The answer is nothing. And if you aren&#8217;t using social media to boost your published works and help your blog, then you are depriving yourself of a useful tool in your arsenal. <br><br>The best way to do it is to create specific accounts and pages for your online project in all major social media networks like Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and Twitter. But if you want to be thorough, you can go even further than that. You can promote and advertise on less popular social networks to further boost your visibility.  That&#8217;s how you&#8217;ll make sure that you&#8217;ve maximized the potential pool of visitors coming to read your blog. What&#8217;s even better is that most people don&#8217;t check their e-mail as much as they check their social media accounts, so if you really want them to see your content, this is the way to go! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-build-relevant-links-to-your-blog-post\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_Relevant_Links_to_Your_Blog_Post\"><\/span>Build Relevant Links to Your Blog Post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you familiar with the concept of a backlink? They are links on one website linking to another.  When someone links to your website, then you have a backlink from them. If you link to another website, then they have a backlink from you. Backlinks are easily precious for both search engines and visitors alike. With backlinks, you can help your website rise in Google\u2019s ranks. With that, it will appear first on the search engine&#8217;s pages. You don&#8217;t have to be someone technical to understand that the first few pages are what visitors are more likely to search and click on when they&#8217;d like to access something related to what they are looking for.  <br><br>So the more credible backlinks you include in your blog posts, the better. This doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you should stuff it full of backlinks if you can&#8217;t find any relevant ones. It can equally hurt your website if you have too many that aren&#8217;t related to your niche as a blogger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-track-blog-performance-in-google-analytics\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Track_Blog_Performance_in_Google_Analytics\"><\/span>Track Blog Performance in Google Analytics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analyzing data is an activity often overlooked by bloggers that is actually very important and essential. Ask yourself this simple question: <strong>&#8220;If I don&#8217;t analyze my blog post\u2019s performance, how will I even know what is working and what is not?&#8221;<\/strong>.  Data shows you how effective your methods are and if what you are doing is having any success in helping your blog&#8217;s growth and engagement. What better way to work with Google than to make their algorithms work for you? We personally don&#8217;t know any, but if you figure out an even better one be sure to tell us.<br><br><strong>To complement your research and evaluation process, you can always refer to these questions after setting up an account on <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.google.com\/analytics\/web\/provision\/#\/provision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Analytics<\/a><strong> if you don&#8217;t already have one: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have you gotten as much traffic to your post as you were expecting?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long did visitors stay on the page to read your blog post, and more importantly, did they convert to subscribers? This is also known as your website&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/1009409?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bounce rate.<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How much the website&#8217;s established traffic is from social versus referrals <strong>(links leading people to your post)<\/strong> vs. direct channels <strong>(the aforementioned teaser email we talked about)<\/strong>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-refresh-and-repurpose-older-blog-posts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Refresh_and_Repurpose_Older_Blog_Posts\"><\/span>Refresh and Repurpose Older Blog Posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the lesser-known facts is that <strong>&#8220;freshness&#8221;<\/strong> is another part of Google&#8217;s Algorithm. It is a deciding factor in whether or not you will be able to work with Google. You wouldn&#8217;t want to have stale content that doesn&#8217;t get displayed by search engines because it&#8217;s unrelated or outdated. Avoiding that means having to go over your best-performing posts and make sure to update them regularly with new information. That way, the blog continues to provide the best content for your readers. You also boost your chances of keeping your rank in the search engines. This is what it&#8217;s all about when using the algorithm for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There you have it.
