Bloggers are always looking for new ways to share their content and the most powerful way to share content right now is using social media platforms.

Amplify is a powerful platform that lets you take part in "social clipping" - you find content on the web that you enjoy reading and you clip parts of it into a blog post that is then shared by the people who follow you at Amplify.

As well as sharing it with those sources every Amplify user sets up their other social media profiles so that anything they clip is automatically shared on other places around the web.

As a blogger this means not only can you share valuable content you find and become a source of useful information for people but you can also get your content shared too, which results in more people seeing your content online.

The more attention you can get the more the traffic to your blog grows and the more popular you become. This all starts by writing great content in the first place because people only share content that is valuable to them and/or that they believe is valuable to their readers.

Here are five great ways to write content that will encourage others to share it:

1. Share you in your content.

People love the human side of blogging so don't be afraid to show it. Celebrate an achievement or an event with your readers.

2. Highlight the news/trends/hot topics within your niche.

Give your opinion on them or just share the fact that something worth paying attention to is happening.

3. Give them resources.

Write a list, bring together content on a particular topic, write a "how to" blog post - find different resources and bring them all together

4. Educate.

Help people out, provide something of value. Valuable content will always be shared and if you help people do something they weren't able to do in the past they will thank you for it.

5. Focus on meeting their needs

Last but definitely not least! Focus on meeting the needs of your readers so that they choose to share your content because it always helps them in some way.

Once you regularly provide content worth sharing then more people will want to share it with the people they know through social clipping and before you know it your blog content will find its way onto different social profiles around the web.

When you add the free Amplify plugin to your Wordpress blog you help to make it even easier for them to do that and even easier for you to get noticed.
