Social Marketing Traffic – Part One
We continue our series of free traffic strategies, courtesy of Traffic Heist …
Learning how to research and leverage the social media space is an important part of setting up your traffic system.
With social media, you’re able to take advantage of microblogging platforms such as http://www.Twitter.com as well as communities such as http://www.Squidoo.com and http://www.Facebook.com to expand your outreach and target your niche markets quickly and easily (and it’s all about setting up your traffic funnel as quickly as possible, right?).
Aside from just how (free) and easy social marketing is, it really can provide you with quality, targeted traffic, while enabling you to minimize the time you spend promoting your website, by creating an action plan that outlines your goals, objectives as well as what communities you are going to target and the level of interaction that you are comfortable with.
When it comes to marketing within social communities, you need to take a different approach than that of traditional marketing.
These people are looking to network with others, to meet new ‘friends’, to explore new markets, and while it’s likely that you’ll run into groups of fellow marketers who will be more than willing to get on your friends list and mutually promote each others websites, your overall objective should be to dig deep into your niche markets, pulling out as much of your target audience as possible.
These people are buyers, not sellers and you need to target your advertisements and offers so that they are informative and useful, rather than a blatant marketing ploy (which most people see through from the get-go).
You’ll experience these gimmicks yourself once you begin to circle through the social platforms.
Marketers will quickly become chattier, and regularly active within the social groups whenever a new product launch is about to be unveiled while affiliates scramble to generate buzz and get their links shown before everyone else.
Social marketing is a fierce playground to venture into, but if you plan out your strategy effectively, by first clearly outlining what it is that you hope to achieve as well as your overall process for executing your plan of action, you will be one (or ten) steps ahead of your competition who elbow their way onto the social scene eager to spam their advertisements and blast their promotions to a mass audience of potential prospects who are lost in the noise, quickly deleting them from their user lists, blocking them from contact and avoiding them in the future.
