If you are reading this then you have found my super secret list of places I like to push my blog post to after publishing. I plan to keep updating this list as I find more places to submit to.

#0 Before submission make sure you have amazing copy, unique images, bolded headings, numbers/stats, and sub headlines. Review this post here if you have to. SEO is your best friend after the initial spike.

– post it on all FB accounts

#3 “Stumble” your site on StumbleUpon
