We spend so much time blogging these days that we want to make sure the readers are getting the most out of what they’re reading. It’s also important they can easily share bits and pieces of the blog with their followers. In this social in 60 we discuss how to improve sharing on your blog.

Pinterest is huge right now. And since most blogs should include some type of photo make sure it’s easy for your readers to pin. When you include a title with your photo it automatically fills the comment field with that title on the pin. Another great and easy way to get shares is having visible share buttons. With so many options available you’ll be able to find the perfect share sidebar for you.

Embedding social updates in your blog is an easy to way to get a like or a view without your reader having to leave the page to do it. You can embed a YouTube video into your post or embed a Facebook update, Google+ post, pin or Instagram photo that allows the reader to like the post directly from your blog.
