We’ve all asked the question at some point.

And sure, social share counts are a bit of a vanity metric but that’s only part of the story.

The truth is that awesome things happen when you get more shares on your content, like:

Brand awareness
More blog traffic
Search engines index your content faster
More bloggers will offer to contribute to your blog
Other bloggers will invite you to contribute to their blog
Potentially higher search engine rankings
You’ll earn more backlinks which again, leads to more traffic

The benefits are endless, but what can you do right now to significantly increase the number of shares on your content?

Below you’ll find some of the most effective tactics, and you’ll learn exactly how to implement them.

Ready? Let’s dive in!

Ask newsletter subscribers to share and give them a reason

There’s a saying by Nora Roberts which goes something like this:

“If you don’t ask, you don’t get.”

And while sometimes you won’t need to ask, more people will take action when you do.

I particularly like how Jon Morrow asks his newsletter subscribers to share the latest content from SmartBlogger (previously Boost Blog Traffic).

What I like about how Jon asks this question is that he gives a reason why you should share; it isn’t just “please share it”.

Having a reason to share is important.

Here’s how to make this work

It’s not enough to just add some social sharing buttons and hope for the best.

Consider these two points:

The more options you give people, the less likely they are to take action. It’s like when you open a menu at a restaurant and you’re faced with so many options that you don’t know what to choose.
