\"\"<\/a>When asked how they discover new content, many people will tell you they do that through Twitter and Facebook. And for those times when they have a specific question in mind – like who the best plumber in Boston is – it’s Google.<\/p>\n

While organic search will bring you that one time visitor looking for something specific – but what about loyalty? And when it comes to social, it’s tough to fight through the clutter of political rants, wedding pictures and whatnot in newsfeeds to find a shared article that actually interests you.<\/p>\n

Will content consumers even be happy with the content they discover once they discover it?<\/strong> And for publishers, how do you get your content in front of the right audience?<\/p>\n

An Answer.<\/h2>\n

Shareaholic Channels<\/a>\u00a0offer a more fun way for consumers to discover the best content and an easier way for publishers to get found by the most interested readers.\u00a0<\/strong>Through topic-based collections of the best content from our publisher network of 200,000 websites Shareaholic Channels make finding great content an easy and delightful experience.<\/p>\n

Channels are a game-changer for Shareaholic publishers.<\/strong>\u00a0These topic-based collections will drive higher click-throughs than other content discovery channels because your content is being presented to a targeted audience that is actively seeking out posts on the subject you write about. That means more pageviews and profits for you.<\/p>\n

A huge thank you to\u00a0Boston Parent Bloggers<\/a>\u00a0for helping us kick off our Parenting Channel<\/a>, especially to\u00a0Jodi Grundig<\/a>,\u00a0Christy Matte<\/a>\u00a0for helping us coordinate everything.<\/p>\n
