View the previous post in this series of three: Why comment?

Sharing community content via social media is of course the easiest possible way to disseminate valuable information to the widest possible audience.

Sharing will…

• Attract new community members with the great content your site has to offer.

• Add value to being a community contributor. One of the main reasons experts will create content for your site is for self-promotion. They’ll be very happy when you share their work with your social media audience.

• Show you appreciate the content your contributors have worked hard to create. Sharing suggests endorsement, which everyone appreciates.

• Make yourself and your brand look good, as the provider of free, useful information.

It couldn’t be easier to share…

• When looking at a post or video you’ll see a Share button

• Click it and select your preferred social media channel:

• Facebook

• LinkedIn

• Twitter

• Whichever you click on, you’ll be taken direct to the social media site, with much of the post automatically created. Simply edit it as required and share

• Repeat for all relevant social media channels!

• If you are a community manager, make a point of sharing at least one piece of network content per day to help grow your network and reward your contributors.
