How Do You Get Traffic From Social Networks?

I totally agree you illumination. I would just ad there to see where your traffic hang out. some niches are better on some social media as well .
and study your market.

Thank you for mentioning this. I can't stand when people consistently spam with the same link over and over. That will get you blocked/unfollowed immediately.

Network, cross promote, and make sure to explore the different types of social networks.

The big question I would ask: Are you branding yourself or branding something different (service/product)?

This will guide what you do. If you focus on developing solid content and all the other posts then that is a great start. But figure out what you are doing for your own personal value in terms of social media. If you grow your own network, social influence, and network influence then you become your own marketer with millions of followers.

If you go to fiverr you find loads of people who have access to millions of viewers and can just push information. Granted this gets to be annoying to the followers but it illustrates what a large social influence can have.

IM and SEO invests so much with the emphasis on google and focused websites but you really have a whole new world available through direct communication with people through social media. You can have a great conversion rate but you have to make sure its something your target wants to see. It has it's own entire art.

The mindset in the end is conversations and engagement. Instead of waiting for google search you end up being able to engage and initiate through social media. But you have to start somewhere. Find networks, groups (like you have in WF) and establish yourself then connect via social networks and cross promote. Once you have a solid following you begin promoting.

Use as many social media networks as you need and are relative to you.

My 2 cents. (hope all that makes sense)
