With my blog’s first giveaway running, I really wanted it to succeed. But grabbing enough eyeballs in a hugely developing blog industry is tough.
On 23 January, I read a blog post update from Justin Germino, of Dragon Blogger, using a tool called Dlvr.it. Intrigued, I decided to check it out.
What is Dlvr.it?
Dlvr.it lets you connect with readers and “deliver” your content on various social media platforms, the usual ones would be Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Dlvr.it provides bloggers, publishers and brands a way to instantly syndicate content and expand their reach on the social web and into new channels.
Not too unique.
Buffer and Triberr also have a similar model.
What is so Amazing about Dlvr.it then?
I ventured into its “promoted stories” section where with just $1 you can promote a “story” over a wide network base.
I wanted to promote the giveaway – I created this Story & paid $1.
The results were amazing. See for yourself. The data is from 23 Jan to 26 Jan, 2013.
For just $1, I got all these views. It was just mind blowing.
Where does Dlvr.it Promote Stories?
Dlvr.it shares the “promoted” stories across 4 verticals:
-
Search – Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Ask
-
Social Networks – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit, Scoop.it.
-
Mobiles & Tablets – iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry, Kindle, nook and others.
-
News Sites & Feeds – MSNBC, New York Times, ABC News, cNet, Gizmodo, Boing Boing, CNN, Boston News, Daily Globe, Market Watch, Parade.com, Seattle Times and many more!
Forget the money. Unless you’re a ultra popular blogger, getting so many page views in 3 days is not a cup of tea for many of us. Right?
Note that the $1 price works only for your first story. From second promotion onward, it will be $30 to deliver on all the four verticals given above.
$30 per story is a good deal, still. If you have something very unique to share, $30 will pale in comparison to ROI.
Isn’t Dlvr.it worth trying?

If you are starting something new on your blog, use the paid services
Hey Chitraparna,
Very good case study, How many entries you got with that traffic? Have you tracked it ?
Let me know more about it
Thanks
Suresh
Yes, I did Suresh. There were about 95 entries. I know the numbers are less but I used Dlvr.it near the giveaway’s ending so the leverage was not so high.
Have you tried it?

I just using the normal version of the DLVR.it , one thing i observed it MAXCDN are not known for anyone only webmasters, app developers geeks knows about it. Might be your traffic has no clue about the giveaway that maybe the reason for low conversions too.
Good out of box thinking i can say
in this days content and social sharing is most important part for internet marketing and getting traffic. so, this dlvr.it is also good option for bloggers. so, thanks chitraparna to provide us one better option.
You are welcome. I am surely going to use Dlvr.it for unique stories personally and for clients
Thanks for introducing this awesome service to me.
$1 or even $30 for that amount of traffic is better than spending it on Press Release where traffic isn’t guaranteed.
Will give it a try soon.
You are welcome Rohit
