    I would suggest first figure which sites will work for your brand (what are your goals / objectives)-
    ex: Product/Service
    Start with a facebook page - build your fan base (target market)
    -Run FB Ads to help acquire
    post daily, build the engagement up getting ppl to comment, like and share your content about your product/service.
    * when posting have a call to action (see more here) direct to whatever-

    *you can even use tools like Shopify.com to set up stores within your fb page.

    Also I would set up YT channel - make vids
    use to promote (run ads too), build social proof around your brand (testimonials, following, ratings etc).

    There are many others that could also work, twitter, pinterest, G+ etc ...Again figure out what works best for you! * FB / Youtube = Powerful!!

    If you connect your choice of social media assets together with your site... this will help bring more traffic...Remember you have to build a presence.
    Hope this helped! Cheers

    So hello fellow uker....

    Social media is indeed a very powerful tool to have and if used correctly then you can quickly build a brand in no time. I love social media because of the simplicity of it. Now depending on what your overall goal is I would definitely recommend doing rhe following....

    First build Facebook fan page. Use this as your hub of communication. Post daily messages thats going to engage people to respond. Remember you need to understand who your trying to be and how you want your brand to be viewed. Its also helps if you fully understand the importance of knowing your target audience. Post with that in mind. Its doesnt always have to be promoting but you always have to be giving value and reason for people to invest their time in you.

    Post 3 or 4 engaging tweets. Remember to follow people who have the same interests than you. Hopefully your engaging tweets will get them following you and even better if one of their followers follows you.

    Look to post funny, inspiring photos and quotes on pinterest. I would definitely recommend doing this twice a day.

    Then finally look to create a youtube channel. This might not be for everyone as not everyone like talking in front a camera but sometimes to be successful you have to venture out of your comfort zone. There no doubt that youtube offers a great opportunity to generate quality traffic.

    Hope this helps. Any questions please feel free to ask

    Hello, I would first build my Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest page and make sure they have good presentation. Then run some targeted Facebook Ads. Next you want to make sure all your new posts go to each site and doesnt matter if it is manual or automatic.

    Now the key is to build up a following of fans that support your business. There are clever ways of getting them fast and they will engage in your posts depending on how well your company is organized.

    Giveaways work great to gain some support fast and they can stick if you have a nice presentation. I don;t know of any other way to gain them as fast in bulk. If you PM me I can give you an example or Skype me Ill show you an example of a company that launched a giveaway and their fans are growing and remaining active in their posts and business.

    5 Social Networking Sites to Help You Gain More Traffic

    Internet traffic according to wikipedia.org is the flow of data across the Internet. It is highly used by people who are into internet marketing. With the use of internet traffic, you could get more views and more sign ups on your website regardless of the market you are targeting.

    There are many ways to build internet traffic. One of which is through blogging. But the most common and the most easiest way to do as of today is making online traffic through social networking sites. It's basically creating traffic by adding people and sharing the link to your website to increase the number of visits and following. It is easy and very practical because as well all know these days, people are hooked to social networking sites.

    Here are 5 common social networking sites that could greatly effect the number of traffics you get in your website.

    1. Facebook.

    This is a very popular social networking site these days. It is very uncommon to know someone who doesn't have one. It's taking socializing to a next level, hardly a face to face contact, but an online screen to screen contact with your friends, families or affiliates. What's good about Facebook is that information dissemination is easy. As long as you have a huge number of friends on this site, it's so easy to share and disseminate information to millions of people online. It's easy to share links through status and people would directly see it through their Facebook homepage and click, share or like the links you've posted. The more friends you have, the more clicks, share or like you get, the more traffic you could gain for your website.

    2. Twitter

    Twitter isn't that much complicated. Twitter is a social networking site where you could share pictures, links and statuses online fast. They call their statuses as Tweets where you get the chance to say what you feel or share information with a limited number of words per tweet. It's basically sharing your status online at a faster pace. And people get to re-tweet or favorite the tweets you created. Increase traffic by following people as much as you can, the more you follow, the more people will follow you back. Once you've reached the desired number of followers, it is easier for you this time to increase traffic by posting your website link in every tweet you create. You just have to add a very controversial or intriguing kind of description so that people would be compelled to click on the link you created so that they will be redirected to your website.
    3. Instagram

    Unline twitter and Facebook, instagram is a social networking site where it focuses mainly on photos. It's easier compared to the previous two social networking sites. All you got to do is to take a picture of whatever it is that you wanted to share online through photos, add a filter then share it online. The very basic way for you to increase traffic is to post a picture of your product, or website and then add the link to the description box located just below the photo. Of course, you have to have a pretty decent amount of followers to for them to be able to see and like and be redirected to your website. Through this, you could increase the number of views and sign ups on your website.

    4. Tumblr

    According to wikipedia.org, Tumblr is a microblogging platform and social networking website founded by David Karp and owned by Yahoo! Inc. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog. It's basically a combination of a blog and a social networking site rolled into one creating Tumblr. What's nice about Tumblr is that once you get to create a blog post regarding your product or website, not only you could put your links in there, but also, people could reblog the post. With that, reblogged post are seen on the pages of people who reblogged your work. Thus, it is seen by many other people who are following them. They will then be redirected to your Tumblr page and then visit your official website. But then again, you also have to follow a decent amount of people to achieve the highest number of traffic you wanted. You just have to remember that there is a following limit everyday. A good 200 people per day is good enough.

    5. Google Plus

    Google plus is a social networking site where you could share links through your profile and be shared by your followers and friends within your niche. It is somewhat connected to your gmail account. There are still lots of people who are on google plus because of their gmail account. That is why it is also good to invest a good number of followings in this site to increase the amount of people liking and sharing your post that will lead to an increase number of traffics every time you post a link or a status regarding your product.

    Social networking sites isn't the only way to increase the number of traffic in your website. There are still tons and tons of ways out there.

    Use synnd, hootsuite, buffer to share great content. And use facedominator or Twtdominator to scrape and add members to your friends list or groups.

    There are lots of ways. This is one of the way. You can also use social exchange plugin like share locker to lock your content. So when other people share your content you get traffic.

    If you want to save time you can cross-post your content across all of your social media platforms, but you'll need to tool each one a little differently to have the maximum reach to your target audience. Putting out high-quality content on a consistent basis that solves a problem or your audience would find helpful, interesting, funny, etc. is key to gaining traction on every social media platform.

    It is going to take work, but once you get going social media can be a wonderful tool for promoting your product/service and acting as an interactive embodiment of your company.

    You can put Social media as our solar system and in that solar system you will find planets likes FB, Google plus,Twitter, Pinterest and so on. I would suggest you master any one of the media first for traffic generation then move on to the next. And Google is your best teacher for learning any social media

    The traffic that is the most worth it (the most valuable) is the visitors that you attract from Twitter

    The Twitter users demographics are mainly those with high intention to buy,
    as they are mostly from United States, Canada, UK, Australia and Western Europe

    Oldfashioned ways: write a nice post on your website, which includes a lottery, then share this post across your social media channels. Create facebook ads and focus on clicks to gain even more traffic. Paritcipate in facebook groups, write legit comments. Moreover, it's wise to sign up as your page, then find simmilar pages who post similar content and write comments on their posts. You could use a platform like Buffer, it could help you more easily share your news across your social media
