Sharing Is Caring: Socail Media On Newsletters


One of the best methods to increase your popularity and web presence is through effective use of social media. You may have seen social buttons on websites or blogs, but have you thought of using the power of sharing on the emails you’re sending out? Although your subscribers can forward emails they’re getting from you via webmail or their email client, wouldn’t it be lovely if you can make their lives easier by showing them a way to share it on Facebook, Twitter or virtually everywhere in the world wide web? Here are 3 of the nicest ways to add social media sharing buttons/links to your newsletters.
Very easy to use. Simply fill in the page title and the URL of whatever link is included in your newsletter that you want to get the people to share, press the Get Button Code to generate an HTML code that you can paste into one or all of your Online Outbox HTML email campaigns. Registration is not required to use the site.
Better looking buttons here and there’s an option to register if you want to separately track how your readers are using the sharing button. Again pretty simple, paste the URL you want to share – it can be your website or a blog post, select a “style” and an HTML code should pop up at the side.
Unlike the previous two, ShareThis requires registration before you grab a hold of a button code for your newsletter. Anyhow, once you get past that prerequisite, you’re in for a painless three step process to pick the code you need and you’re done.
See? There’s a bigger world for your newsletters than limiting them to the subscriber’s inbox. Maintain a healthy relationship with your subscribers, provide quality content and encourage them to share your newsletter content if you wish to make it available to a bigger audience. Do you know of other methods to improve the reach of email campaigns?
