Social Marketing Made Easy
Today in the world of Web 2.0, Social Media sites are one of the most important sources of traffic for your online business.
Social Media sites can bring in large amounts of traffic very quickly to your sites. NOT using them correctly can KILL your business.
First of all, let me explain to you what the 3 most important types of Social Media Sites for your online business are.
1. Communities - FaceBook and MySpace. This is where people hang out, post messages, pictures and keep in touch.
2. Libraries - These are sites that contain collections of information provided by their users. Examples of libraries are Digg and Technorati.
3. Notice-boards - These are sites where people go to and make recommendations to other sites or make posts to on a regular basis. Examples of these types of notice-boards are Twitter and blogs.
So what is the right way to use these sites?
First and most importantly you must spend some time on the site learning how others use the sites and then do the same.
The reason why you should do all of this is because if you just sign up and start posting content linking to your site, there is a very strong chance that the site members will see you as a spammer and ban you from the site.
So sign up and take a look around and get a feel for the site. Set up your profiles like the other members and just fit in.
For example, lets say you sign up to Facebook. What are the others doing? Well they are adding photos, "updating their status", posting comments on their friends "Walls"...
Slow down! Before you can post on your friends "Walls", you have to first GET some friends.
FaceBook has a way when you're signing up, that you can import your email address list and find contacts that are part of the FaceBook community. You can then use this to invite people to be your friend. There is also a search function where you can search for friends by name.
Next, you invite your friends and if they accept your invitation, then you will be able to communicate with them and post messages and pictures and of course comment on those pictures.
If you are trying to use FaceBook to make business contacts, you may be thinking that inviting all of your new friends is the best way to grow your business. You quickly get a few hundred friends to join and you immediately start selling and making money!
This is NOT a good idea. Think about this for a moment... how would you react if you received a friend invite one day, accepted and then got bombarded with offers from this person right away?
You wouldn't like it at ALL! You probably would block this person from being your friend ASAP! You might even complain to FaceBook. If FaceBook thinks you're spamming, they will BAN you from the site.
So the trick is to spend a good amount of time in ALL of these sites, watch and then do what the other members are doing and then submit some great quality content to these sites slowly.
Now if you're anything like me, you have a lot of tasks to complete on your "to-do" list everyday that will make it difficult to spend all this time in these Social Media sites.
You don't have to worry about that now because I have found this simple to follow step-by-step video guide called "Social Traffic Explosion" that will save you hours of your valuable time by explaining how to sign up and create the perfect FaceBook and MySpace profile pages.
You will also learn techniques that show you the proper way to use FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter and social bookmarking sites to get lots of traffic to your site without looking like a spammer. - 13506
