One of the most effective ways of generating traffic to your site is through the use of social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc....
Using just the above 3 social networking sites I have managed to drive mammoth amounts of traffic to my own personal site! Not just any traffic......traffic targetted to my own specific niche.
How Do I Use Facebook to Get Traffic?
Probably the most popular of them all is Facebook. Facebook is a great tool to let your prospects and friends know whats new with you and what you have been up to. Where most people fall down with Facebook is attempting to sell things constantly through updates, wall posts and private messages. If your anything like me you will just ignore all of these attempts and probably block that person! The key is to be yourself, keep people updated with what your doing, what you do for work, photos, videos etc and every now and then drop in something about your product or information you are selling and personalise it to show your prospects how it has helped you and others with some success stories. Most importantly with Facebook the key to making this work is a strong friend database, I'm talking at least 1000 friends. Build up your list by adding people with similar interests and soon enough people will start to add you from seeing you as a friends friend or through word of mouth.
How Do I Use Twitter to Get Traffic?
The next site I will talk about is Twitter. I never used to use Twitter until recently but have realised just how easy it is to get your message to literally thousands of people instantly!! In case your not familiar with Twitter, it is simply a site where you can follow people's updates and they in turn can follow yours. It is used by lots of companies and people to keep everyone update with what they are doing. Essentially you only need to perform the same kind of updates that you do with Facebook but they can go out to a much wider audience. How?? Twitter lets you use programs such as Social Oomph and Hummingbird to automatically follow and un-follow hundreds of people a day! This means that all of the work is done for you!!
How Do I Use Youtube to Get Traffic?
The last site I will talk about is YouTube. This is not for everyone. It falls more into the category of attraction marketing and requires you to record videos to show to people on your YouTube channel. You can add friends and follow people just as you can with the other two sites as well. The great thing about this is that people can see you, learn all about you and will have a more personal bond with you which makes them much more inclined to buy whatever it is that your selling!
If you use all of these sites correctly you can drive masses of driven traffic to your site/product and generate huge amounts of sales.
