Six Ways to Increase Your Social Media Marketing Traffic Starting Yesterday

Internet. Business. Profit. To fully integrate all of these words into a successful sentence you will need another word. Traffic...

Every article you will find about using social media making to promote your product, business or opportunity successfully will always include the importance of traffic generation. This means getting lots of people to your door. Lots and lots of people, yesterday, today and tomorrow.

The old saying 'Build It And They Will Come' is not quite enough - so throw out any pre-conceived ideas, roll up your social media marketing sleeves and make a start today.

Traffic is king.

But not just any old traffic. Targeted, specific traffic and here's a few ideas to get you on track to finding some of it through social media.

1. Facebook - MySpace - Zenzuu - Use Facebook and other social media sites to build a community. Invite your friends, supporters and colleagues along to build relationships, interact and exchange stories about your work and your ideas for the future.

2. Blog Exchange or Build Links with Other Sites -

A great way for affiliate marketers or entrepreneurs to raise their profile online is by building links with other similar sites through a quality blog.

3. Squidoo - build a unique, entertaining Squidoo lens to send traffic to your blog or website

4. Forums - Join forums and become part of the conversation. Build relationships, be entertaining and helpful and offer value to others in the group.

5. Use Social Bookmarking Sites To Build Trust - Capture a market and show your knowledge, expertise and credibility by contributing to the discussion. Social bookmarking sites such as Digg and StumbleUpon will allow you to be a part of the discussion and profile yourself as an expert in the field. Build trust and the traffic will follow.

6. Newsletters. Don't restrict your social media marketing to online activity alone. Use your current communication format to support your online endeavours and bring your supporters online by the dozen. They may just thank you for it.

Remember, social media is just that - so, in case you need a reminder, here it is.. Be nice to people!

Re: Kevin needs "social glue" ideas - Hi, I like the idea of "10 items that could act as "social glue" because I am an internet marketer. But I agree with the rest that the 10 recent post is nice. Maybe we should open up a new section in the forums on Social Media...or Social Media Marketing. I will tell you that the world is about 1 1/2 behind when it comes to understanding social media. Building a section now will put EvanCarmichael.com is a great position a year down the road when people realize Social Media can produce more traffic than SEO. Jeff

Jeff[/quote:gvtxsu7g] Hi Jeff, Thanks for the suggestion. Why don't you start a new post (with a poll) to see if there's enough interest in your idea for a social media section?
Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f - Hi, Online Marketing would be a great title, and having sub categories would make it even better, there would plenty of categories to choose from, Social Media, SEO, Article Marketing and yes even Affiliate Marketing to name just a few, great looking site btw Jeff, take care, Carol
Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f - Just as an update, Evan has extended the poll's expiration date and says he'd like to see at least 25 "yes" votes before implementing the new category. Moreover, it would probably be called "Online Marketing" instead of Social Media Marketing".
Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Everyone, 2009 is a new year and I'd like to create a new forum category to jazz things up! In the past, there's been some interest voiced about adding a "Social Media Marketing", "Online Marketing", "Internet Marketing" or "Online Promotion" category. I'll implement [u:1g2tv6tf]ONE[/u:1g2tv6tf] of those new categories, but can someone first tell me what the difference would be between the existing "Marketing" section and one of those new options mentioned above? Thanks
