Well since you are running social media services, I supposed you are familiar with software that can automate your tasks for your twitter and facebook accounts. Boost your account's followers,friends, and likes and you will have a chance of some of those being potential clients.

Take a look at Facebook Pages that are related to business, look into some of the people who have liked, and commented the pages and try to come in contact with them to pitch your services.

Look into article marketing, and also you may be able to find some clients on craigslist

Thanks

Per this quote, I saw a great article on this the other day on doing just this. Seems as if you can promote your site through Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc through one social media dashboard without having to actually stay on it all the time updating! See Blog Post

  Even that you sold some something does mean you are on the right track as compared to many others who never even sell a thing. I don't want to rehash over things that have already been said, but getting the word out about your services through article marketing, video marketing and being active in your niche on forums and blogs work, but it takes consistent work to see the results.
  
  Do you capture leads and building a prospect list? Most people that do find you are not going to buy or use your services at the first contact. With the traffic you do get (since you are paying in either time or money) you need to get those prospects on your list, so you can follow up with them and through multiple contacts and have a extremely high percentage of turning them into a customer.
  
  It was already mentioned that if there's a lot of competition, you need to come up with a unique selling proposition that differentiates you from everybody else. Doing that will also help you define what type of person you want to attract and can also determine what keywords to target.
  
  Well hope that gives some additional help for you and good luck.
  
  Thanks

Are you talking about the service on your signature? From what I see, that kind of service is readily available online.

Unless you can drive targeted traffic for your customer, they won't buy your service.

I recommend adding fan page creation, etc. to your social media service to increase your authority in that realm.

Thanks

Cheers,

Your problem is competition, not the traffic. You need to offer something that is unique, not something that's available everywhere.

Thanks

Traffic needs to be targeted. If you just want traffic then put up an ad advertising free beer. But unless you're selling beer or related you wont make money.

However, the way to go is social media. You get huge results fast. But only if you do it right.

Kind Regards,
Ian Stables

Did you really make a couple of sales?

If so, find out how you made those couple of sales and keep doing it over and over. Why would you change a strategy that works?

But, if you are just telling us that you made a couple of sales, then you have a bigger issue to deal with...that is you have to be confident about the value you can bring, and be confident enough to tell us that no strategy you are doing is working, and that is the case for most of social media package businesses, it just that there no value in what you are selling or you are not making it clear to the visitor that there is value. This is really tricky to achieve!

Thanks

Hey thanks for your opinion. The sales I were made through FB i was messaging people who post their page links in Like exchange pages. I was sending 5-6 messages per day, but different people have told me that FB might ban we this way or atleast i wont be able to send messages

I think you should sign up for your own service. Buy 1,000 Twitter followers from yourself.

Oops...

You can't get traffic because not many people are dumb enough to even go looking for what you are offering. You are selling snake oil. You can't guarantee 1,000 "real" Twitter followers or FB fans. You are selling followers and likes from bogus bot accounts. Everyone knows it.

Do yourself a favor, shut the site down and move onto a more legit service that people are looking for.

Maybe you should boost your traffic first and build trust by putting more value to your site,this could help also if you can register to web 2.0 site or what we called the horse traffic generation technique then submit an article to get more traffic.

You can also try offering your service on fiverr (or other mcrogig websites) as a sample.. I don't think there are many people offering real followers on there. Then once your customers like your service, direct them to your website so they can buy more. Just an idea.

There are many choices for you:
1. Optimize on-page SEO and off-page SEO (backlink, link building, etc) and wait traffic from search engine
2. Social Media (FB, Twitter, Linkedin, Google +1, Youtube, etc)
3. Forum (WF, Wicked Fire, Freelancer, etc)
4. Buy Traffic from freelancer (Fiverr, Warrior for Hire, etc)
5. Using software
6. Free and Paid Advertising (Google Adwords, etc)

Thanks for this

I tried paid advertising but got banned from adwords, still not sure why, soon will try different paid platforms.
I am doing the forum marketing but as i am thinking about all this i will have to focus BIG on Social Media

Whats your backend strategy for selling to existing clients? To get more gigs... run more ads; or buckle down and do free marketing and create a brand for yourself in your niche.

PPC, solo ads and forum marketing! Sign up to 5 forums in your niche, add a signature with a link to your offer and spend an hour or so every day posting. It works a charm!

You can promote your site on forums about freelancing. Many webmasters are looking forward to hire someone to create a video/ logo/ banner for their site.

I hope you know that it is very important to work on the SEO of your site, so that people who search for the services you are offering will find you.

You have to differentiate your service from that of your competitors but they are already many people offering such service which i don't even know how it works. Then you should also try article marketing like posting on sites like ezinearticles, articlesbase etc. Google banned you because your service looks illegal so you have to focus on other means of getting traffic like the ones already mentioned above.
Good Luck

Thanks

Of course you need a good product. But aside from that, to sell marketing services nothing sells as well as your customer seeing your success using your techniques. They need to believe. Master your product, then show your customer what you did and how it can work for them.

Hi Ivan,

Some ideas:

Article Marketing
Blogging
Forum
Classified Ads

Maybe you can try to offer free products?
Many services/products providers are giving out free products out there.
Do note that your free product must be of certain value.
Consumer's mentality: If you are offering a free product of a certain value, then your paid product must be of a higher value than the free product.
Then, you will see sales coming in.

Hope it helps.
