Everyone’s talking about social marketing these days: and for good reason! Taking advantage of the latest social networking trends can drive targeted traffic to your online business for the best price around: free! Here are some ways to make the most of the social media marketing boom.
1. Make a video: YouTube and Google Videos are both going nuts these days. Make a viral video and start an argument in the comments section, and watch the traffic flow in.
2. Tweet: If you aren't using Twitter, start immediately. The site is literally exploding lately.
3. Facebook: Get on Facebook and start telling people about what you do. You can’t beat actual human networking in the business world.
4. Get Featured: Log every new post and article you write on digg, technorati, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, and any other indexing site you can find. These are great sources of targeted traffic and backlinks.
5. Ask a Friend: Ask a friend to do the same! The more diggs you have, the more traffic you’ll receive.
6. Get Featured (again!): Get featured on popular blogs, and get into other videos in interviews. Interviewing gurus is a win-win: the interviewer gets exposure, and the guru gets to boost his ego!
7. Promote an app: People are always looking for free apps for their iPhones as well as for Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, WordPress, and any other Web 2.0 site out there. Give them a free app and they’ll be future followers in return.
8. Get Friended: A lot of Twitter and Facebook users have had a ton of success simply by adding thousands of other users to their friends list. A small percentage of these users will add you back as a friend, building your popularity in the eyes of potential followers. Be careful, though, don’t get labeled as a spammer!
Use these tips now and you’ll start seeing more and more traffic pour in to your site. In the meantime, share this article on Twitter
