Posted by admin on August 1, 2008.Social Marketing For Web 2.0 Traffic
You know how important traffic is to the life of your website?
Yes, of course you do.
Then I’m sure you want to know the best ways to get traffic coming into your site using those “social media” sites that everyone’s talking about, right?
So WHAT IS SOCIAL MARKETING?
People call it social marketing, web 2.0 or new age marketing, but the fact of the matter is this - you need to use the social marketing websites to your advantage because there’s tons of free traffic to be had from them.
The big names like MySpace, Facebook and the rest are not only dominating this arena . . . they are starting to play a really big role in driving traffic to marketer’s online pages. The problem though is . . .
. . . social sites don’t like marketers! It’s true! So you have to be careful when using them not to get off to a bad start or get banned from their site. The key is to adopt a simple method, what I call the ”4 H’s” approach;
Humor
Honesty
Have fun
Help people
As long as you can inject a little bit of who you are and even a little humor into your social marketing profile, that’s when you start attracting a lot more friends and widening your network.
You also need to maintain an honest approach because people want to get to know you . . . the real person behind the blog, It’s important to lay your cards face up on the table ( transparent ) and people will begin to trust you and come back to your site.
Have fun! That’s one of the great things about social media sites . . . you can have lots of fun doing it. Meeting new people, learning new stuff, and making money from traffic you generate are all part of this ultimate wealth package.
Also remember it’s about helping people. The more you can help people the more they will help you in return. So add useful links and recommendations to your profiles. Point people in the right direction and give them what they can really benefit from. It’s also important to be responsive and answer any questions people post on your profile or contact you with.
