Getting To Know Tumblr

Tumblr can be compared to Instagram. Although they are different in so many ways, their target is the same, to share interesting and attractive photos. Like they say, “a picture speaks a thousand words,” so sharing photos always work because most people are very visual especially online.

Tumblr has most of the features available in most social networking websites. It also adopted “like” button where people who like your post can click this button and then the system tallies the total number of likes the post has. The more likes your post has, the more popular it becomes. If you like a particular Tumblr blogger, you don’t need to add him or her as a friend. If you want to subscribe to his or her posts, all you have to do is follow the person and you can have access to his or her blog posts. Tumblr give the followers the option to like or reblog the post of the bloggers they chose to follow. Reblogging is simillar to Twitter’s retweeting. When you choose to reblog a post, it will appear on your blog page and your followers get to see it as well.

How Can Tumblr Promote Your Site

  • Queuing – Now, how can Tumblr effectively promote your website. Unlike other social media websites and platform, it has a unique feature called Queue. As part of your marketing strategy, it is important to make sure that you post regularly so that your followers are updated about your site.

Let’s say you have a petshop. Your Tumblr strategy is to post photos of cute pet dogs or cats. Whenever a person sees your photo and likes it, he would most likely click on the image. So instead of directing him to your Tumblr page, he can be redirected to your petshop website. It is a very subtle marketing strategy since thy don’t have to see annoying ads. They are automatically redirected to your commercial website. It increases your online traffic and at the same time attracting more target market.
