Blogging is a lot of work. However, it’s what we love to do! As bloggers, we spend a significant amount of time ensuring that we’re serving our audience by producing content on a regular basis.
If you’ve made it to this post, then you probably already found a blog that you grew to love and you’re looking for ways to support the blogger, behind the blog.
Supporting a blog is extremely easy to do and will be greatly appreciated. When you support a blogger, you become apart of the movement. Also, it’ll help expand their reach and give them more opportunities. Today, I’ll be sharing 6 easy ways to support your favorite blogger!
1. VISIT THE BLOG
One of the easiest ways to support a blogger is to simply just show up. When I say this, I mean taking the time to stop by and reading the content that’s created to serve our readers. As a blogger, I get pretty excited when I see that someone is reading a post and knowing that my content is serving a purpose in someone’s life, is the best feeling!
2. SUBSCRIBE TO E-MAIL LIST
Subscribing to an email list is a great way to stay updated on future post and stay in the know. By signing up for the email list, we’re able to connect and be more personal with our readers.
3. COMMENT ON BLOG POSTS
Leaving a comment on a bloggers post, let’s us know that our content has served some type of purpose in your life. I love getting comments or feedback on a post that I’ve worked several hours on. Leaving a simple “THANK YOU” in the comment section goes a long way and could simply brighten up someones day!
4. FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA
If you enjoy what a blogger creates, why not get connected with them on social media? Engaging with a content creator on their social media platforms can potentially give them the opportunity to work with brands.
5. USE AFFILIATE LINKS
Affiliate links are ways to make money as a blogger. If you don’t know much about these links, it’s basically online retailers tracking clicks and purchases from a particular website. The cool part about this, when someone makes a purchase using that link, we’ll receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Sometimes, you’ll receive a discount for using our links!
Amazon is one of the most popular affiliate programs that most bloggers use. So if you’re doing some online shopping, click on the link provided by your favorite influencer and it’ll take you directly to that linked item. You don’t have to place a huge order to buy that specific item that’s being promoted. ANYTHING you purchase within 24 hours, they’ll receive a commission for!
6. SHARE CONTENT
It literally takes less than a minute to share and show some support to anyone’s content. Personally, I get super excited when I see that my content has been shared. You can share their content on any of your social platforms. Sharing is another way of showing your appreciation and a great way to help them grow their audience. Besides, sharing is caring and it’s always free!
