Examples:

Write an article based on questions that get most engagement in a community and share it with members 1-on-1 on social media.
Open a thread in a group and ask people their favorite practices + why they do it. Gather answers, write article, share it w/ them.
Publish reviews/content where you mention several brands. Share with each brand and invite to share w/ their community.
Contribute on a trending topic on a major website. Create amazing content/visuals that are shareable. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind.
Create a bridge between communities you’re active on (i.e. @myblogu) & those you own, so users engage with each other and share content.
