From Twitter to Tumblr

Are you tired of the Facebook/Twitter bandwagon? Hip businesses are migrating their viral marketing from stale social networks to Tumblr. Why?
It's super easy to set up a blog, Facebook and Twitter integration all in one site, total mobileability, the blogs are completely customizable to fit your style, and it's FREE!

Here's how to set up your Tumblr blog.

1. Begin by going to http://www.tumblr.com, and filling in your email address. Then create a password and Tumblr url (This is not the title of your blog, so it doesn't need to exactly match your business.). Ours is http://www.mcgraphics.tumblr.com.

2. Next, Tumbler will guide you through the steps to customize your blog, including giving it a title, writing a description, and adding a photo.

3. Then you will be prompted to follow other Tumblrs; keep in mind that the more people you follow, the better chance you have to spread your message. So find bloggers with your interests and click follow.

4. Under your Blog Title on the right hand side, click "Customize". Now use the top menu to customize your blog, and add new features.

• Click "Themes" then click an image to alter the look of your blog. Tip: for the free themes scroll down past the themes that charge.

• Click "Services" to set up links to Facebook, Twitter, Barnburner and an RSS feed.

• Click "Community" to set up how followers have access to your blog, such as giving them power to reply and ask questions.

• Click "Save+Close" and keep your blog updated often; make it interesting to gain more followers!

5. Now click the icons for text, photos, links, audio and video to add your first post. Congratulations, and good luck marketing your brand!
