How to Win the Social Marketing War

By P. Kulenek

How important traffic is to the life of your website?

How about I share with you some of the best ways to get traffic coming into your site using "social marketing" sites that are so popular?

WHAT IS SOCIAL MARKETING?

People call it social marketing and web 2.0 but the fact of the matter is this - you need to be using the social marketing websites to your advantage because there's tons of FREE TRAFFIC to be had from them.

The big names like MySpace and Facebook are not only dominating the internet but they are starting to play a really big part in driving traffic to marketers sales pages.

Social sites don't like marketers! So you have to be careful when using them. The key is to stick with the "5 H's" approach;

Humor

Honesty

Have fun

Help people

As long as you can inject a little piece of HUMOR into your social profile or even just a unique trait of who you really are then you will start attracting lots of friends and widening your network.

Be honest. No point uploading photos to your profile of Prince William or Victoria Beckham. People want to get to know you so be honest.

Have some fun! That's one of the great things about social marketing. Having fun, meeting new people, learning new things and making money from the traffic that you get all at the same time.

Also remember to HELP people. You have to give to get. So add useful links and recommendations to your profiles. Give good advice when answering any questions people may post.

BUT WHAT ARE THE SECRETS TO MASSIVE SOCIAL TRAFFIC? Social Traffic Explosion?
