Social marketing is one of the most powerful ways to gain search engine exposure and literally force the search engines to send you free targeted traffic for what ever niche you choose.

With social media sites and social networking going mainstream all around the globe, it’s not a matter of IF, but WHEN you will begin to apply this powerful leverage to your own business.

How to build a perpetual organic traffic generator is what this article is going to show you. Taking a view at a social marketing traffic system from above 30,000 feet it can be broken down to five component parts:

1. Central Content Hub: Your search engine optimized, wordpress blog hosted on your own simple server and loaded with a ping list, plug ins and widgets to make it a highly leveraged, search engine ranking magnet where you will post your relevant, valuable, keyword focused content. This is where everything starts.

(Special note: the value of your content is critical in converting traffic to sales. Garbage content still attracts nobody.)

2. Content Syndication: The art and science of building social media networks, followers, facebook friends, and friends in other social media sites such as DIGG, REDDIT, Propeller, StumbleUpon, Delicious and many, many others is key to allowing you to take one piece of content and leverage your social networks to viral ‘push’ your content out on the internet in different sites so that you gain more backlinks to your blog, more social ‘buzz’ and exposure which gets your content ranked higher in the search engines and also provides internal ‘network community’ traffic to your blog as well.  Read more...

I’m lazy by nature and like to do as little work as possible. Therefore, when I have the opportunity to automate tasks, I jump at it. As I started getting heavily involved in social networking, I quickly became frustrated with having to update my status at several sites, as well as trying to figure out how to introduce my blog, my articles, and my ezine to my social networking audiences.

After much trial and error, here’s how I connect and repurpose all of my social marketing strategies:

1. Set up accounts. Make sure that you have current accounts with Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, MySpace, and any other social networking platforms you regularly use.

2. Open an account at Ping.fm. The Ping.fm service automatically updates your status on all of your social networking sites, 21 of them at the current count. Depending on the number of networks you use, it will take you 10-50 minutes to connect your Ping.fm account to your various social network accounts. However, once everything is set up, you simply log into your Ping account, post your status update (no more than 140 characters), and your status is automatically updated on all of your social networking profiles. Rather than posting updates directly on Twitter or Facebook or MySpace, I instead use Ping.fm as the starting place for my daily status updates.

3. Display Twitters on other accounts. If you go to your Setting tab in your Twitter account and then down to “More Info URL”, you will see a link to “Add Twitter to Your Site.” By clicking on this link, you’ll be taken to a page where you can add your tweets in a separate box (not the Status updates area) in your MySpace and Facebook profiles, on your blogger or Typepad blogs, or get the Flash or HTML widgets to add to other sites like Squidoo lenses or to your website. Just follow the instructions connected to each application. If you use Typepad for your blog, you can also do this through the Widget gallery by finding Twitter widget in the “Publishing Tools” section.  Read more...

There are many effective approaches to using social marketing to grow your business. Social networks like MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Tagged, and the professionally oriented LinkedIn site are all the rage today.  Did you know Facebook is currently growing by 500,000 new users a day!

When used properly, social networking sites can provide massive leverage to grow your business. Just think about how many of the 500,000 new Facebook users each and every day could be potential customers for your business.

But for many people, social networking can also be a huge time sink if you don’t know how to connect the dots and have people in your social networks buying from you. You need to be careful and present your business in the appropriate way, without spamming or turning off your online friends, and potentially damaging your relationship with them forever. You’ve got to get them to know, like, and trust you before they will do business with you, especially on the internet.

We’re going to assume you’ve already chosen the appropriate social networks for your industry or business, opened your accounts, and established some friends.  What’s the next step?  One of the best ways to form a solid business relationship with your network and get more sales is to host an event. It can be a webinar, teleseminar, or in person event. If you live in a remote geographic area, it will be more difficult to get a big turnout for an in person event, but if you live in a populated area you can get a good turnout. The potential is huge for online events.

After you’ve picked the type of event, follow these 5 steps to get massive amounts of targeted, free real-time leads.  Read more...

Tips For Internet Network Marketing

Tip #1.. Start with article marketing. Don’t just write one article and hope it brings in a flood of leads but write articles on a consistent basis. We suggest writing a minimum of two a month for the first month and submit them to at least six of the major article directories on the web.

Tip #2.. Commence a web 2 campaign. There are no shortage of web 2 sites to use but make sure you build your sites focusing on one keyword phrase. For example, if you are targeting the term internet marketing tips then that is what your site should be about.  Read more...

Forget what the “gurus” say – overnight online success is a myth. However, success is inevitable if you follow three these three simple steps. 

Whether you are just getting started in social marketing or have been testing out the waters with few victories, the one thing you need to achieve social marketing success for your business is a game plan. Randomly joining social networks and submitting content without purpose can be time-consuming and ineffective. However, don’t think that your plan must be complicated and professionally-designed in order for you to succeed. In fact, these three simple (although not always easy) steps, can help you to hit pay dirt in no time. 

Step One: Set a Firm Foundation with Solid Keyword Research and a USP.

It is imperative to identify a keywords list and use those keywords to attract search engine spiders. There are free tools available to make finding the right keywords for your business a snap. One such tool is the Google Keyword Tool. Here, you can find the keywords people are plugging into the search engines as well as what your competitor websites are using. 

Once you have identified the keywords and phrases best for your niche and business, you must add them to everything you do: domain names, blogs, article titles, and content. The search engines will pick up on these keywords and with quality content you have a great chance of receiving a higher ranking, which will put you at the top of the search engine results—right where you want to be.  Read more...
