“Shareability” Checklist.
Presented by http://www.BlogEnergizer.com
This check list helps you to judge whether your blog is ready share with others. It's important to 'Be Ready' for prime time when you're working hard to build up your reputation.
Keep your niche in mind: You will want to adjust the checklists to include social media that fits your target market and remove those that wouldn't be a good fit.
I wish you all the best as you begin sharing your new blog!
