What is the best way to share good content (and help myself in the process)

[Mrupp44]

i spend a decent amount of my spare time browsing quora, stumbleupon, google reader, pulse, etc keeping up with all the different aspects of internet marketing

when i come across a particuarly valuable piece of content i take a few seconds and share it using hootsuite on my linked, twitter, facebook  (i spread them out so there is only one post a day)

this rewards those who write valuable content but im not doing anything to benefit my site - www.sawwebmarketing.com

im establishing myself as somebody who has good stuff to share to my potential clients.... what a quick, easy way to share the high quality things i come across that will create links for me as well? (short of writing my own blog post listing the high quality articles i found with my thoughts on each)

thoughts? opinions?

thanks everybody!

I find social outreach is the best plan of action for back links. I usually find a good article (usually from an author with active social presence) , copy the best paragraph from said  article and then do a write up quoting from that article. Once written, then tweet, post (google +, Facebook, ect) the author. Saying you have done write up on them and to come check you out. Build a relationship and hopefully you will get linkin return.

Rand and Ruth Burr have done some good videos on the topic:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am also doing the same with my blog and Social media.  I share articles I find interesting on Twitter.  As you are establishing yourself as someone who shares good stuff, maybe you can throw in one or two articles of yours, generate some traffic and let others people learn more about your website.  Furthermore, people would appreciates that you share their stuff and might follow you on Social Media platforms and if you do throw in some of your articles in the mix, people who followed you might do you a favor and share your articles or link to it.

I think what you are doing will help benefit you in the future as you are establishing your own image.
