Social Marketing Traffic

Learning the skills to research and leverage the social media space is a very important part of setting up your traffic system. With Social media, you are able to use microblogging platforms like Twitter as well as online communities like Squidoo and Facebook to grow your outreach and target your targeted markets quickly and easily.

While you are a marketer first, friend second, you want to form a personal connection with your target audience. Here are some of the best social communities to get involved with: Twitter: Friend Feed: Facebook: Stumble Upon: Del.icio.us: MySpace.

Article Marketing Traffic

The concept of article marketing is a very simple one: You write high quality content and distribute it amongst popular article databases and directories online, generating tons of traffic from the back links in the attached resource box. It really is as simple as that.

Think about it, writing a 1,000 articles that don’t convert, versus 12 that do, which one would you choose. If you rush your articles without conducting some keyword research and coming up with articles that consist of a solid headline, fluid content and no call to action, not allowing the reader to click the links within your resource boxes, leaving the article directory itself to find out, you are literally throwing money away.

If these readers fail to follow through, your article was for nothing. You should think of your resource box as a 20 second commercial. What is the strongest message that you can use to motivate your readers to click on your link?
If you are not sure what you can offer within your resource box, here are a few things I have used successfully for over a year now:

- A Free Report
- Subscription to your newsletter
- A free eBook
- A free sample of your product
- A Free Membership
- A Free Video Guide
- A audio transcript or call

Forum Marketing: Quick Back Link Strategy

Forum marketing is probably the easiest ways to generate quality back links to your website (higher ranking in the search engines), as well as potential subscribers and customers. .Don’t burst onto the scene, spamming all the threads “me, too!” responses, because before long your find yourself banned or simply ignored. start off helpful, share tips, resources and information, approach forum marketing as you would approach social networking, by offering help and building your brand.

Viral Marketing: Spread It Like Wild Fire

You’ve most likely heard of Viral Marketing, but might not really know how to set up a Viral marketing campaign that is likely to go viral, basically being carried from person to person, eager and willing to share your website link with friends, family and online acquaintances. Creating a viral marketing campaign is nowhere near as difficult as most people believe, and can yield an impressive return on investment if you do it correctly. Here are a few simple ideas to help you set up a viral marketing campaign of your own:

#1: Offer Incentives Viral marketing always works best when a valuable product or service (including tangible items) are offered.

#2: Be Incredibly Different If you want to generate a buzz around your website.

#3: Run A Contest Or Challenge One of the easiest ways to create a viral campaign.

#4: Save People Time & Money
Consider creating a package that you can give away with resell rights.

Squidoo, HubPages, Blogs – Instant Traffic

There are three tools that I use to instantly generate traffic to my website, at absolutely no cost, and they are: Hub Pages: Squidoo Lens: Blogs: & Blogger.

Here are a few tips to help you create your first
Hub:

#1: Use ORIGINAL content only!

#2: Add modules to your HubPages for additional revenue.

#3: Add links with your keywords within your hub page content, leading to your websites, blogs and landing pages. Add at least two text capsules.

#4: Do NOT post affiliate links within your HubPages

#5: Add fans to your hub and be active within the community and its sub groups.

#6: Encourage RSS subscriptions to build a following and expand your outreach.

Press Releases: Quick Traffic Bursts

Press Releases are one of the easiest ways of getting your message in front of thousands of prospects in your target market very quickly, as well as picking up affiliates and potential JV partners. You want to make sure your press release appears to be news, rather than an advert. The back links that a press release creates is phenomenal, I have seen a huge surge of traffic literally within minutes of the press release being published, and months later, I was still receiving traffic from the circulation of that press release. What you do need to be careful of is that you model your press release so that it provokes an emotional response in your viewers. Your press release title should be no longer than 150 characters in length.

Social Marketing – An Excellent Income Opportunity

Seven Considerations

First, Though, What Is Social Marketing?

Its an old concept with a special addition. We add a social conscience to Network or multi-level Marketing. The company and the field all are committed to making a difference for good in our communities, our states, our country and in the world. We do well financially, by doing good in the world, hence the name, Social Marketing.

The Seven Basic Considerations

1. What can a Social Marketing business mean for you?

That depends on what you want. In 1970 I was a stay at home mom to 5 children. I just wanted to make enough money to pay for what I was already using by buying them from myself, instead of from the grocery store and getting nothing back.

2. What time commitment will you make?

Your speed and success strongly depend on the amount of time you can commit. I started in the six to 10 hour range. Later I expanded to around twenty hours a week. Did that pay off? Can you really earn as much as a million dollars in a Social Marketing business? Well, Al & I expect to reach the two million mark by the end of 2010.

Do we make that in a year? No. We are in the “average” range shown below. That is a very nice extra income for us and it is still growing! Most people who work consistently for three to five years, earn around 7 to 8 thousand a month or more. Your determination and coachability determine whether you’ll be one of the average earners or higher.

3. Do you keep your commitments to others, and most importantly to yourself?

There is a learning curve and uncountable obstacles in EVERY business. Social Marketing is no different. You must “do what it takes” not just do “your best”. You honor your commitment even when you don’t feel like it or when things go wrong. What is your dream? Have you given up on your dreams? A Social Marketing business allows you to turn your dreams into reality. The world is headed toward global distribution of products and services. The rise in home based businesses is the future and Social Marketing is leading the way.

4. Do your interests and passions correspond with the scope of the products and the opportunity that the company provides?

In 1970 we learned that toxic chemicals, from products that most people used in their homes every day, were getting into our drinking water and polluting it. We were also introduced to some non-toxic cleaning products that didn’t pollute the water. I wanted to stop polluting and be a part of the solution. Now I could help take care of our environment. These products matched my interest and passion.

I then learned that I could improve my skin with the company’s skin care products They worked! Nothing else, including “the pill” ever worked on my adolescent acne that was still raging at age 36. These products also matched my interest and passion

The nutrition products were like a miracle for me. I went from being constantly utterly fatigued to having energy to spare. Now I had a new passion. The company & I were a good fit.

5. A Social Marketing company should have a philosophy firmly in place and visible to all.

Our company’s philosophy, simply stated is: We do well by doing good. We take the Golden Rule very seriously. It is the guiding principle in all of our dealings. The stated mission is that we help create a healthier life for everyone and a better life for anyone.

The internet is filled with offers for you to make easy money. You don’t spend a penny, you don’t do any work, and, as you soon find out, you don’t make any money unless you upgrade to their Secret Magic money making plan. A high percentage of businesses that go in and out of business on a regular basis as they are shut down by the regulators for one infraction or another. Each time, they choose a different fancy name and they re-incarnate themselves. This is not the Golden Rule in action.

Every legitimate business has start up and ongoing business costs. Period! A quality Social Marketing company builds an impeccable reputation.

6. You want to be sure the company that has been around for NO LESS than five and even better, at least ten years. The company should show steady growth for at least the previous five years and should offer a no questions asked money back guarantee on every product.

7. It is important to me to have a product philosophy that guarantees that the products I use or recommend are always safe, they always work, and they are always green. The products must be in harmony with nature and good health! This requires that there are procedures and controls in place to insure the purity and safety of every batch of every product, so they will never have to recall any product because of a harmful ingredient or contaminant.

Wouldn’t this be a great time to explore the great potential of developing a Social Marketing business?
