Creating Traffic in Several Social Sites

12 replies
When I learned that you get awesome traffic through social sites, I joined several like Facebook, Friendser, hi5 and Myspace.

I also joined Twitter, Plurk, Friendfeed and linked in.

Do I really need to join this much? Please give me your advice. Thanks.

  • Have you ever stopped to think that traffic for the sake of traffic means nothing?

    If you want to make money you figure out where the TARGET AUDIENCE for your product or service goes.

    Think about that. Over and over... people just don't get it. Do you get it?

    If you want to sell Ice Cream you find people that eat Ice Cream. You don't "Hope" that some place some where someone will find your site about Ice Cream because you joined a Million other sites.

    And Ice Cream is a local product. TARGET TARGET TARGET

      This is especially true in Social Media. If you are trying to appeal to an uninterested crowd, that is rowing upriver. The only way to accomplish this is to give them FREE everything, and then hope that you can convert by teaching people and winning them over.

      Basically,

      1. Educate them Free
      2. Then sell them.

      or even better...do what Internet Marketing IQ said above.

      Bottom line: Both are possible...one is easier.

      Hope this helps...

    First thing first stick to one site for example twitter, it's not about how many site's you have, it's about driving traffic to your product that you are promoting, but you need the rite targeted audience. To get the traffic on twitter try twollo all you need to is think about what kind of people will be keen to purchase your product.

    You might be struggling to get conversions from those sites. Of course this would depend on your products.

    However, - most social sites work best when you participate. Do you have time to particpate on all of those sites?

    What you have to do is, if you are joining social network for personal use than you need to start with Ping.fm and join the every social site in order to brand yourself

    If you want to start with new products or affiliate product than start with most important social network like twitter, facebook, myspace, youtube and so on to promote big time and follow the above users said....

    I hope this helps you

    Thanks

    Join As much As You Can Actively Participate In...

    1) Try to be more social, than salesy- The purpose
    of these sites is to showcase your personality and
    build a relationship with your prospects...

    2) The more you have different mediums to reach your
    prospects- the better for you. But again, no one wants
    to go to someone's page when all they do is try to sell
    them stuff... So post your pictures, give daily updates etc...

    3) Web 2.0 Social Sites take a lot of TIME, so if you can
    outsource people to do the work in those sites for you it'd be
    better: that way you can focus on your marketing...

    4)You can use RSS feeds to automatically post on your
    twitter and Facebook, the content from your Blog, or post
    from Twitter, to Blog- or Twitter to Facebook- or Facebook
    to twitter to your Blog... You get the picture... That's a good
    way to automate content...

    Of course- don't rely on automation 100% Be as human as
    you can...

    If you send people to your blog from your email- your blog
    to your facebook to your twitter, to you linkedin- Friend
    feed etc... The bouncing from page to page, will give your
    prospect the sense that he knows you better...

    Thus he will trust you more- and buy for you without you
    having to pull teeth...

    It's all a question of increasing your conversions more so than
    bringing in new Leads... But it does work VERY WELL FOR BOTH
    PURPOSES!

    I hope that helped- Good Luck Bro...

    Thanks to the advices guys. All of you are impressive. Thanks for caring.
    I still need to learn more. When I joined those sites, I was just posting links to my site with few words or quotes. I got traffic alright but it's really time consuming. It increased my ranking in Alexa. But I noticed that when I stopped for a couple of days, my ranking drops.

    I'd suggest starting with facebook. There is a facebook group or fan page for just about anything you can imagine! You can then use that to your advantage when you find a group that contains your target audience.

    I also agree with what was said that you really don't want to overextend yourself. Social Media can be very time consuming and you want to be as focused and efficient as possible.

    When I submit to Ping.fm, I am connected to 20+ Social Media Sites and can reach 50,000 plus people with one status update. It is targeted traffic in a way because on all my Social Media sites, I have connected to other Internet Marketers and like minded Entrepreneurs.

    I did a short video about it below

      Is this better than hellotxt.com? I tried to use this once but when somebody clicked the link in facebook, there was a warning that says the link contained spam content. I just posted a quote from Jim Rohn and included my website link. So I just use plurk for facebook and the problem disappeared.
