Simple Guide: How to Link Your Blog with Social Media for Profit 2025 Edition
In 2025, constructing your blog is just half of the hard work—linking it with social media is where the real benefit lies!
Now with TikTok, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Pinterest, and now Facebook working as social
shopping platforms, knowing how to connect your blog to these social platforms is incredibly important.
I have narrowed it down to a few practical techniques, and outlined the key/ main steps that will get you connecting your blog to the social channels, and monetizing!
- Use the right channels
When it comes to channels, there are not a one-size-fits-all solution, so the first step is to understand where your blog’s target audience is spending their time:
If your blog is about fashion, beauty, and/or lifestyle? → Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok
If your blog is about Tech, Finance or News? → X, LinkedIn, Reddit
If your blog is about Food, Crafts and/or Travel? → YouTube, Pinterest, InstagramPro tip: dont spread too thin; choose only 2-3 channels – and do it right!
- Optimize your blog for social sharing
Make it easy for readers to share your content with one click:
Add social sharing buttons to the top, side or end of blog posts - your content should never be shared without easy links!
Use Open Graph tags for Facebook and X, and Twitter Cards for previews.
Lastly, when you add images make sure you add Pinterest friendly images (vertical images at an ideal 2:3 ratio).Pro Tip: You can leverage a plugin like Monarch or ShareThis to assist with the integration.
