Trying to reach new cat owners and spread the word about good cat care is a constant challenge.
Social media networks have their own algorithms which control post visibility. They all rely on feedback from users - the more views, shares, likes etc., the more likely are other users to see the message in their feed.
Which is where you can help!
I'd like to try and embed some of our social media posts here in this thread, adding as we publish new ones. If you have an account with that social media and you're logged in, you should be able to see the "like" and "share" links within the posts. You don't even have to leave TCS - just click from within the embedded post to like, share or comment.
Every interaction you have with these posts will help us spread the word!
Here's how this would work -
1. Subscribe to this thread by clicking on "Watch Thread" at the top.
2. Visit the thread for new updates (you should be notified via email for new posts here, provided you click through and view them every time).
3. Hit "like", "share/retweet", or comment in the embedded post.
That's it!
Which social media networks are we talking about?
We currently have four social media channels (managed by yours truly) -
Thecatsite.com
TheCatSite.com (@thecatsite) | Twitter
https://www.Pinterest.com/thecatsite
https://www.Instagram.com/thecatsite
Clearly, Facebook is the largest of the four but I'm sure some members are members of other networks too. Every like helps!
I'm going to run this as an experiment for one month. Fingers crossed we can make that change by coming together as a community!

). I'm reluctant about outsourcing this because it's very important for me to carry over our "TCS voice" where cats come first (not laughs at the expense of cats). 
I also pointed out the Pinterest as my wife's sister uses Pinterest a lot. I am guessing they don't need to be a TCS member to Like, Share and Pin.

and thank you for your feedback and recommendations! I absolutely agree with the focusing advice for bloggers (I do that with my blog, focusing only on Twitter). I think TCS is at the point where we have to be "out there" in other platforms too 
We've waited a long while on Instagram and it's time to take the plunge. Great to hear that about the IG community! I'll keep it in mind and try to post more about our rescue related content too and will look into posting stories there too. Thanks for the tips!
