Social media is a godsend to businesses. We’ve obviously heard of the big guns, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but are you taking advantage of the other platforms available?
They are many advantages of Pinterest, for instance – especially for fitness businesses. You can also submit user-generated guides and tutorials to platforms such as WikiHow.

Social bookmarking is a great way to have people talking about your business and services, as well as providing others with solutions via your blog. You could submit a link to the main page as well as to individual pages, products, posts, images etc. These platforms then circulate your content to their audience base and drive traffic into your site, while also helping to boost your SEO by connecting your links to textual descriptive content.
