Use Social Media To Get Traffic To Your Site

Social media is one of the newest venues to advertise your company. It is not hard to start out, but you need to know some essential things. Take your time as you read the following text.

Update your blog with new entries at regular intervals. This trains the people reading your blog to come back at specific times to read new blog entries. This has been proven with newspaper and magazine subscriptions. Consistency of fresh content will breed consistency of returning viewers.

Social media works best if you create links that all tie together. Put links in place on your blog that allow readers to follow your Twitter comments, view your YouTube videos and “like” your Facebook page. Use your Twitter account to promote your blog. Make it all work together. Creating links in different forms of media will widen your costumer base.

Offer exclusive deals for social media fans. Encourage them with something they won’t be able to get from someone else. For instance, you could hold a contest. If this doesn’t appeal to you, offer an exclusive item or savings for your social media fans instead. You also can post your announcements on social media pages.

To make customers want your social media marketing, run exclusive specials that can only be had by following you on social media sites. When people see deals or promotions on Facebook they will want to spread the word about what your site has to offer.

Make sure you have a lot of interaction with your customers. If you feel comfortable doing so, you should leave comments on their Facebook page or blog posts. Don’t interject into a discussion that has nothing to do with you; stick to contacting someone only when they are discussing something that is related to your industry or products.

Apply these tips to your marketing plan. Then sit back and see how much social media really helps your business. If you haven’t tried it yet, you shouldn’t wait any longer. Social media marketing may be the key to your success.
