It's best to manually share your new post on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ etc as each one will use different things that are relevant to that platform - like hashtags, @'s, etc. If you don't include those, you're missing out on more exposure. And if you include them with an automated program or plugin - it won't be relevant across all of your social media channels...
It only takes a few seconds to share the link on a few social sites, so I don't find it a time issue. I simply do it right after I publish a new post.
Has anyone heard of "Media Discovery" I was contacted by them and asked me if I was interested in selling some ad space on my site ... They want me to place a small banner on my site and pay me 120/year upfront this was the email I recieved:
Hi Allen,
I was wondering whether you'd be interested in selling advertising space on Eastcoastslotcars.com? The advertisement would be unobtrusive and we can pay you an annual upfront payment for the advertising space.
We can also provide guest blog posts from industry experts in many cases.
I am from Media Discovery, a new media agency headquartered in the UK. We plan out and acquire advertising space on major websites and portals, as well as smaller niche sites. I personally deal with our smaller publishers, increasing brand awareness and share of voice for the major brands that our group works with.
We'd love to work with your site. If you have any questions or would like further information, please do not hesitate to email me directly.
Thank you Lynn, Their ads weren't really relevant to my site that's why I said no the first time and thanked them for contacting me. I told them I want to keep everything on my site relevant to my site. BTW ... were gonna have to chat about that whole affiliate thing! Still learning alot as I go and I wanna thank you for all that I have learned from Clicknewz. Stop by my site when you can I'd love for you to check it out and tell me what you think.

How do you make your own affiliate ad ... I don't have the money to be paying people or am I thinking the wrong way? I really want my blog to start making money ... I'm so tired of the 60 hr work weeks. Maybe if you have some time to check out my site to see if I'm missing anything important I would really appreciate it.
You only need to create ads if you have your own products and an affiliate program set up. Otherwise, as an Affiliate yourself you simply use the ads your merchants give you.
I'll try to take a look at your site at first opportunity. I generally only do site reviews in the private forum, as they're more time consuming, but I'll try to take a look when I have more time. ;-)
Thank you Lynn, Believe me ... if I had the money to join the private forums... living paycheck to paycheck really sucks ... I have to watch every dime .... most days I don't eat and if I do its ramen noodles! Im lucky to have $20 left after paying bills and thats not much to go on when you get payed every 2 weeks. This is why I want my blog to be successful!
I have no doubt you can do it. I was in that same position, with two kids to feed even, and I did it. So I'm quite sure ANYone can! I once lost 23 pounds in 7 weeks because there wasn't enough to feed all three of us. So I HAVE been there. ;-)
