I would prefer Facebook and Twitter over LinkedIn. The reason is the audience at LinkedIn are more professional and business oriented (at least in my circle). Maybe because they don’t want to destroy their career profile.

Hi Aaron,

I definitely find that Linked In brings in more of a possibility for a job opportunity!

So for those that want a possible professional outlook! Especially if you are in the Internet marketing business.

Thanks

Hi Ashok

I haven’t found Facebook incredibly useful. However, it is a great way of building members to a page.

So if you have a group or page dedicated to your brand you can use this technique to build up followers.

Facebook is another route for you to use, and if people regularly check your page, they will have all your info on hand.

There is a lot more work involved for Facebook than there is Twitter, however there is the potential for more reward.

Hope This Helps!

Marcus

I always put my Twitter at the end of guest posts, there’s less stigma to following someone on Twitter than say connecting/linking up to people on FB/LI.

Great post Marcus.
Nowadays most of the blog owners provide one link to any social media account of the guest blogger. And I would prefer Twitter. The reason is that it will allow me to easily keep the new followers updated about my blog updates. So I not only get new followers, but also subscribers in one sense. I have read a discussion somewhere about whether Twitter is killing the RSS subscription thing. I think it is.

when i do guest posting, in the author bio, i always mention twitter and facebook along with my own blog. i think that must is ok, i allow that on my own blog and same goes when i guest post.

sphenn, digg etc. profiles does not really work and i never really got into linkedin either. twitter is good as you mentioned, if at all, you will get followers for sure

How important is social media for guest posters no matter the link is no-follow because the important point is the relationship with possible subscribers and the blogger. Twitter I think is the best option eventually Facebook too at the by-line.

My personal choice is Twitter

Cheers,

Gera

Good post Marcus. It’s good to point out that YOU are a brand, and any way you can possibly grow that brand is worthwhile. I don’t use LinkedIn that much either, but having it available can bring in the people that it is important to, and all of the social links combined can help you do quite well with your online brand.

Thanks so much for the advice! Another question, if you don’t mind: you’ve used Twitter and LinkedIn, but what have been your experiences with Facebook, and what would you suggest makes an effective guest post promotion there?

Hi Ashok,

In the same way that the Bio works on this page, you ca display a link and a Social Media link!

I chose to use my Twitter link as a way to gain more followers, and to increase the amount of people reading my articles!

An author Bio is usually the best way for you to make yourself available, using the link in the post is a bit to messy.

Thanks
