This blog post is an answer I gave on Quora to the question, What Unusual Social Media Accounts do Bloggers Use to Promote Their Blog? I decided to share it here because I believe it will give you new ideas for blog post promotion. There are many alternatives to the usual choices of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Pinterest. In my answer I listed some of them.

Unusual Social Media

Hello

Thanks for the question.

I have a few suggestions for you but I should start by stating that unusual social media is fairly subjective. My assumption is that your list of usual would include Twitter, FaceBook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google + and Pinterest. With that clarification, here are my suggestions:

1. Mix.com  ( Think of Mix.com as StumbleUpon 2.0). If these words mean nothing to you this post will help, StumbleUpon is Dead.
2. Flipboard: News for our time – Technically it’s an app and not a Social Media platform.
3. Steemit – Steemit definitely is a social media platform and it is one that is powered by Blockchain technology. It is the largest of the social media platforms powered by Blockchain technology.
4. If you would like more information on Blockchain technology or the 12 other social media platforms that use Blockchain technology you can read my post here, The New Wave: 13 Social Media Platforms Powered by Blockchain

You can use all the platforms above to promote your blog but your first step would be to identify whether your intended audience uses those platforms.

Good luck and best wishes!

Quora

Do you use Quora? It is the perfect platform for you to ask me a question; we could then start a conversation that could result in a meeting or phone call if you are overseas. I look forward to hearing from you on Quora.

In this video, Mike Pitt answers the question, What is FlipBoard ? This video will be of interest to business owners, B2B marketing managers and others who use Content Marketing and Social Media to promote their B2B business or organisation.

What is Flipboard?

Flipboard is an app that was created for the iPhone and iPad in 2010. Flipboard is a magazine format Social Network that collects content from Social Media and other websites. Users create magazines around their interests and this content is shared with other users. In July of 2014 Flipboard had 100 million active users.

Flipboard replicates the glossy magazine experience. Users share content with other users. Once content feeds have been set up the app automatically populates the magazines with new content. Flipboard enables a deep dive into content. The Co- Founders of Flipboard are Mike McCue and Evan Doll. At the last round of funding for Flipboard it was valued at $800 million.

Flipboard is a platform that not a lot of people are aware of, compared to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google+ . The Flipboard website is here .
