I publish a weekly newsletter called @HiveToday. I've gone through 23 iterations of it, tweaking the content and the promotion strategy. This is my content promotion playbook. It's intended to be a living document, to be updated over time.

Writing the post is only the first step. Promoting your content is a must, to help readers find it.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Write and publish the post
- Choose up to 10 relevant tags. Some folks browse content by tags, and can find you that way.
- Reblog the post.
- If you published into a community, reblog makes the post show on your personal blog. This is the same as PeakD's "Include also in my blog" setting.
- Cross-post your post into other relevant Hive communities.
- Some folks browse Hive content by "My Communities", and can find you that way.
- Post on micro-blogging sites
- Tweet the link to Twitter followers
- Buzz the link to D.Buzz followers
- Include an image
- Post it on Torum
- Include an image
- Post it on Noise.cash

- Share the link on discord.
- Check servers for dedicated channels where it's okay to link drop.
