Ping.fm Review: Stay Connected

As many may know, social networks are a powerful weapon in the Internet Marketing realm. Not to mention, it offers free publicity. Who would pass out on free publicity right? But many have been troubled with the fact that it can be real time consuming trying to reach out to multiple social networks at once. Fortunately with Ping.fm, their service simplifies that task and lets you reach out to multiple channels of social networks at once.

How Ping.fm works

Ping.fm is a free to use online service that lets you be able to post to all of your favorite services. Whether it be Tumblr, Blogger, WordPress, Delicious, Twitter, or even Facebook, Ping.fm allows you to post to all your favorite services with a click of a button. Ping.fm supports over 34 well known social networking platforms. Now there should be no reason why your site shouldn’t have a Facebook page, a Twitter page, and… you get the idea. Although this may sound a bit difficult to set up, it is not. Once you input your account information into Ping.fm for the services you want to reach out to, it is set and forget. If you don’t have an account for the platforms that Ping.fm supports, this may be the opportunity to do that because this is as automated as you can get. Once you set up your accounts, you have access to posting onto all of your social networks at once from Ping.fm’s advanced interface.

Why I am recommending this?

Everyone should have a Ping.fm simply because it is free, easy to use, and allows you to communicate to a broader audience. Although having the profile set up is only half of the battle, it allows many loyal subscribers be able to access your content through their favorite social networking site. What this does is make it more convenient for your readers to access your content and allows you to gain access to readers from a number of social networking sites. Staying connected with social networking sites couldn’t be easier with Ping.fm. There is simply nothing to lose here but all to gain.

Recommended practices

There are several practices I recommend already associated websites to use to ensure you get the most out of your social networking profiles set up in Ping.fm.

1. Use the same user name when setting up your social networking profiles. This ensures you don’t have any “lost” subscribers looking for you and allows new subscribers to easily subscribe.
2. Setting up your profile is only half the battle. Make friends and spend time on the social networking sites to make your reach that much bigger.
3. If you have a blog, assign your blog’s RSS feed to Ping.fm for it to publish new content to all your social networking profiles connected to Ping.fm.
4. Don’t abuse posting to all your social networking profiles or it may come back to bite you.
5. Stay connected with all the platforms that Ping.fm supports.

Ping.fm brings social networking marketing to the next level by allowing you to reach out to a bigger broader audience with just a click of a button. Socializing with multiple channels of social networking sites couldn’t be more easier, quicker, and effective. Not to mention, more free.
