Social Bookmarking is a very important part of any internet marketer's strategy. Is Onlywire the way to go? Find out from this in-depth review!
Hello my friends! Today I'm going to reveal to you an awesome tool I also use to increase exposure of my blog posts. You might find it useful too,
so read on!
This tool is called Onlywire and it is a service for social bookmarking that is growing in popularity among bloggers. The truth is that social bookmarking has nowadays become a necessity. But let's take a step back and clear things out.
So what is this social bookmarking you're talking about?
Let's say you write a very valuable post on your blog and you want people to know about it. In that case, social bookmarking is the way to go, namely submitting your post to a multitude of social networks. This will put your blog on the map and make your articles go viral!
As you may already know, blog posts can be manually submitted to social networks like Facebook and Twitter, but to do this for every such site every time you write an article takes time, and time is of the essence, especially for internet marketers. You must be laser focused on what you do!
Is Onlywire really useful for you?
So why is Onlywire preferable for social bookmarking? Because you can social bookmark your content automatically to 42 websites in only a few minutes! This is a really useful tool and it gets the job done with ease. And it includes all the important websites you can think of: Delicious, Digg, Facebook, Mixx, MySpace, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Twitter and so on! Of course, to submit on there you will have to create accounts with every social bookmarking service that Onlywire can handle, but that is a one time only action and from there on in you will be submitting your every post.
To benefit from this service, first install the OnlyWire for WordPress Plugin, then download and install the Onlywire submitter, which will create a shortcut on your taskbar. Now you're ready to go!
This will add the Onlywire Button at the bottom of your blog posts and clicking on it will automatically fill in your article name and URL into a form where you only have to add some relevant tags and a short description and then press "Post Bookmark". You will still have to one more thing and that is to right click the Onlywire icon on the taskbar and choose "Check for Work".
Yes, it's as simple as that!
Onlywire doesn't always make all the 42 submissions but you will never get less than 30 bookmarks and that's still a lot of exposure.
One other thing you need to keep in mind is that Onlywire has its free version and then the paid one. The free version allows you to bookmark 300 times (each time you send a post to a site is counted) and the paid version starts with 10$ for 1000 posts per month. I would say that if you use it for your blog and you make on average about a blog post every 2 days, this could be more than enough. But if you only write from time to time then the free version is perfect for you!
So even with the failure rate that I've heard people complain about, Onlywire still gets you 30 to 35 bookmarks for every post you make, and that's a good outcome for your minimal effort. And don't forget that everyone who reads your posts and finds them valuable can use the Onlywire button to share them to their own social network profiles.
Overall, my review on the Onlywire social bookmarking service is a very positive one since I personally use it and find it very efficient for letting people know about me and the training I provide.
