3 Ways to Expand Your Content Reach

Rikki Broussard • September 18, 2024

When I first started writing blogs, I was so eager to finish one that after I hit publish, I’d move on without a second thought. But as I've deepened my understanding of the marketing flywheel and watched the digital landscape evolve, I've come to realize that publishing a blog is just the start!

After you've researched, written, optimized, and hit publish, the work on your blog doesn't stop there. Writing a blog is just the beginning of your content journey. To ensure your hard work pays off and reaches as many eyes as possible, it's essential to think beyond just publishing. Here are three practical ways to expand your blog's reach after you've hit the publish button.


1. Share Your Blog On Social Media

Social media marketing platforms are a powerful tool for amplifying your blog's reach. Here's how you can leverage them effectively:


Select the Right Digital Platforms: Not all social media platforms are created equal. Choose the ones where your target audience spends most of their time. LinkedIn is great for B2B content, Instagram and Facebook are great for B2C content, TikTok is great for trending topics, and so on.


Create Engaging Social Posts:

  1. Don't just drop the link and leave.
  2. Craft engaging posts that spark curiosity.
  3. Use a catchy headline, include a question, or highlight a key takeaway to draw attention. We encourage using the HBO method when applicable.

Use Hashtags and Mentions: Hashtags can extend your reach to people interested in similar topics. Mentioning relevant influencers or brands in your posts can also increase visibility.


Share Multiple Times:

  1. Don't be afraid to share the same blog post multiple times.
  2. Tailor each post slightly for different platforms and time slots to reach different segments of your audience.
  3. Use different creative each time.


For instance, you can share a new image, video, or infographic each time you make a new post.


2. Create An Infographic From Your Blog

An infographic can turn your blog's key points into an engaging, easy-to-understand visual. Here's why infographics are a powerful resource:


Visual Appeal: Infographics catch the eye and can convey complex information quickly. They are especially effective on platforms like Pinterest and Instagram.


Shareability: People love sharing infographics. A well-designed infographic can increase your content's chances of being shared, which leads to more backlinks and traffic to your blog.


Repurpose Content: Creating an infographic is a great way to repurpose your blog content. Pull out the main points, statistics, and insights to create a visually compelling piece that complements your written content. Even without a graphic designer, free tools like Canva make it simple to create infographics that fit your brand.


SEO Benefits: Infographics can enhance your SEO efforts. By including relevant keywords and phrases in the infographic and its description, you can improve your chances of ranking higher in search results.


3. Turn Your Blog Into A Video

Video content is more popular than ever, and turning your blog into a video can tap into this trend. Here's how to do it:


Repurpose Your Blog Content: Use your blog as a script for your video. Highlight the main points, use engaging visuals, and add a personal touch to make it more relatable.


Choose the Right Format: Depending on your audience and platform, choose the correct video format. A short explainer video works well for social media, while a longer, in-depth video might be better for YouTube or a webinar.


Add Value with Visuals: Use images, animations, or slides to enhance the viewer's experience. Visuals can help explain complex ideas and keep viewers engaged.


Include a Call to Action:

  • Encourage viewers to read your blog for more information.
  • Sign up for a newsletter.
  • Follow your social media channels.


Keep your blog from gathering dust after hitting publish. By sharing it on social media, creating an infographic, and making a video, you can significantly expand its reach and impact. These marketing strategies not only help drive more traffic to your blog but also engage your audience in different ways, increasing the chances of converting them into loyal followers or customers. So, roll up your sleeves and start maximizing the potential of your blog content today!

The fragmentation of search. Why Being Found Is No Longer Just About Google

The Fragmentation of Search: Why Being Found Is No Longer Just About Google

By Rikki Broussard • July 23, 2026
Your customers are still searching. They are just no longer searching in one place. They may start with Google, ask ChatGPT to compare their options, watch a YouTube video, look for examples on Instagram, read reviews, or open a map to find a nearby business. This does not mean your company needs to chase every new platform. It also does not mean SEO is dead. The best response to fragmented search is to strengthen the foundation you already have. Build a clear, credible website, answer the questions your customers ask, share real expertise, and ensure your business appears consistently on the platforms that matter to your audience. AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, is part of that approach. It helps search engines and AI tools find and understand your answers, but it works best when it is built on strong SEO . Why Are Customers Searching in So Many Different Places? Customers are searching in more places because they now have more ways to find the type of information they want. Every Monday during our BlinkJar staff meeting, each person brings an industry update to discuss. One recent conversation about artificial intelligence and its impact on search reminded me of what happened to television. Jared, my husband and BlinkJar’s founder , spent years working in television. At one time, a few broadcast networks held most of the audience. Then cable created more choices. Streaming services, YouTube, social video, and on-demand programming divided attention even further. Television did not disappear. People gained more ways to watch. Search is moving in the same direction. A prospective customer may search Google for a service, ask an AI assistant to explain the differences between providers, watch a video to see how something works, and read reviews before visiting a company’s website. The challenge is not that Google has stopped working. It is that businesses can no longer assume every customer will begin there. Does My Business Still Need SEO? Yes, your business absolutely needs SEO as it remains the foundation of being discovered online. Google continues to drive valuable, high-intent traffic for businesses. A strong website also gives AI tools, maps, social platforms, and prospective customers a reliable place to learn who you are and what you offer. Your website needs clear service pages, useful location information, simple navigation, relevant internal links, and a sound technical structure. Search engines must be able to crawl, index, and understand your pages. Traditional SEO is not being replaced. It is supporting a larger discovery ecosystem. Think of your website as your company’s home base. Social media, maps, reviews, search engines, and AI tools may help customers find you, but your website is where you control the complete story.

Why Personal Connections Matter More Than Ever in an AI-Driven Marketing World?

By Caroline Thaxton • July 10, 2026
Artificial intelligence is changing the way businesses approach content marketing , social media marketing , and digital communications. AI can generate ideas, streamline workflows, and help marketers create content faster than ever before. At Blinkjar, we embrace AI as a powerful tool, but we also know the most impactful marketing still begins with something technology can't replicate: a genuine human connection. As a Creative Content Specialist at Blinkjar , some of my most valuable work happens away from my desk. Meeting with clients, visiting their businesses, and building real relationships gives me a deeper understanding of who they are and what makes their brands unique. Those face-to-face interactions help me create authentic content that reflects each client's personality , values, and story. Can AI Really Tell Your Brand's Story? Every business has a story worth telling . While AI can help organize information, brainstorm ideas, and improve efficiency, it can't experience a company's culture, observe customer interactions, or hear the passion behind why a business was started. That’s why every interaction matters. Whether we’re on a call, exchanging emails, meeting in person, capturing photos and videos, or simply talking through new ideas, each touchpoint helps us better understand the businesses we support. These conversations allow us to see how a brand operates, hear the stories behind the work, and uncover the details that make it unique. Those real insights often become the foundation for stronger content because they reveal perspectives that AI simply can’t generate. How Do Client Conversations Lead to Better Content Marketing? The more time I spend with the businesses we support, the better I can represent their brand. Photoshoots are one way those connections happen, but many of my strongest content ideas come from everyday conversations, planning calls, emails, meetings, and moments when a client shares something we would not have known otherwise. Those small details often become the difference between content that feels generic and content that feels true to the brand. Whether we're discussing a new project, talking through their day-to-day operations, or simply catching up, those conversations give me the context I need to write content that's accurate, authentic, and true to their voice. Instead of relying on assumptions, I can pull directly from their experiences, expertise, and personality . That's what transforms content from informative to meaningful.
