Best Content Sharing Platforms for Blogs: Where We Distribute Client Content for Extra Reach
Introduction
Choosing where to share your blog posts can feel overwhelming, but the right platforms turn a single article into predictable traffic, leads, and backlinks. This guide explains the platforms we prioritize, how we repurpose content, and a simple workflow you can follow to amplify every post.
Why platform selection matters
If you only publish on your website, you’re leaving reach on the table. Different platforms reach different audiences and serve distinct goals: brand awareness, direct traffic, topical authority, or backlinks. For small businesses, the trick is picking a small set of high-value channels and adapting the content to each one.
Core platforms we use (and why)
We rely on a mix of high-authority channels and niche communities to balance reach and intent.
- LinkedIn — Great for B2B audiences, employee amplification, and thought leadership.
- Medium — Useful for discovery and syndication when you use canonical tags.
- Quora — Perfect for long-tail, question-driven traffic and building topical authority.
- Reddit & niche communities — High engagement and targeted referrals when you add value, not just links.
- Industry forums and guest blogs — Best for context-rich backlinks and qualified visitors.
These channels form the backbone of how we distribute client content at https://prateeksha.com.
How we repurpose a blog post (practical steps)
Follow these steps to convert one blog post into multiple, platform-ready assets:
- Publish the long-form post on your site with clear CTAs and tracking.
- Write a 200–400 word LinkedIn summary with a visual and link back.
- Create a Medium-friendly version and add rel="canonical" pointing to the original.
- Find 3–5 relevant Quora questions and write concise, helpful answers linking to the post.
- Share a value-first thread or post in relevant subreddits and niche forums, respecting rules.
- Break the content into smaller assets (social posts, carousels, email snippets).
These steps are practical and repeatable — you’ll reuse the same playbook for each new post on your blog: https://prateeksha.com/blog.
Quick comparison (one-line takeaways)
- LinkedIn: High referral potential for B2B, low SEO impact.
- Medium: Good discoverability, moderate SEO if canonicalized.
- Quora: Long-tail visibility, indirect SEO benefits.
- Reddit: High engagement risk/reward; use carefully.
- Niche forums: Targeted traffic and valuable backlinks.
Example distribution timeline
A simple rollout that works for many small businesses: 1. Day 0 — Publish on your website and enable analytics, Open Graph, and schema. 2. Day 1 — Post LinkedIn summary and share with employees. 3. Day 2 — Syndicate to Medium with canonical link. 4. Days 3–14 — Post Quora answers and community contributions; reply to comments. 5. Weeks 4–12 — Repurpose into social snippets, email campaigns, and guest post pitches.
Measuring success
Track these KPIs to know if your distribution is working: - Sessions and referral traffic by platform - Time on page and pages per session for referred visits - Number and quality of backlinks acquired - Conversions attributed to distributed content
We recommend checking initial referral and backlink activity at 30–90 days, and SEO impact at 6–12 months.
Quick checklist before you publish
- [ ] Long-form post live on your site with CTAs and tracking
- [ ] LinkedIn summary ready (200–400 words)
- [ ] Medium version prepared with canonical tag
- [ ] 3–5 Quora answers drafted
- [ ] Community posts tailored to subreddit/forum rules
- [ ] UTM-tagged links for each placement
Final tips
- Always adapt tone and format for each platform — what works on Reddit won’t on LinkedIn.
- Use canonical tags on syndication platforms to protect your SEO.
- Prioritize platforms where your audience already hangs out; niche communities often convert better than mass channels.
