6 Every Day Actions For Social Media Marketing Success
However, like many online marketing strategies, you can save a lot of time and dramatically improve your level of success if you create a daily social media marketing action plan.
Social Media Networks Generate Repeat Visitors For Internet Marketers
Social media networks are helping talented Internet marketers generate repeat visitors. When you understand how expensive Internet advertising is, the thought of getting people back to your website without spending any more money becomes extremely attractive.
There are numerous ways you can implement social media into your current Internet business. If you are just starting an online business, social media should become the focal point.
Here are some suggestions to get you started with various kinds of social media networks:
1. Start a blog
It’s hard to believe that there are still Internet marketers out there who do not have a blog.
Blogs are so so easy to set up that you do not need any technical skills. Using WordPress is a simple way to do this. Also monthly web hosting fees run around $10 for an unlimited number of blogs so cost is not an issue.
A blog is a great way to generate repeat visitors through your RSS Feed. People can subscribe to your feed and receive it in their RSS feed reader. They can also receive updates directly into their email inbox so every time you make a new blog post they are notified about it.
You should bookmark your blog articles to social directories such as Stumbleupon, Technorati, Digg, and more. Using Only Wire is a good way to reach multiple social directories using this service. (See David’s recent blog post for more suggestions.)
2. Article videos
Use Article Video Robot to quickly turn an article into an online video. You can then submit this video to shared video sites such as You Tube.
From start to finish writing an article, and turning them into an article video, is something any Internet marketer can do in 30 minutes or less. This allows you to reach an audience you might not otherwise reach if you did not have online video marketing.
3. Social networking
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and many other social sites are an excellent place to interact with people.
When you make an update to your blog, you can have it socially bookmarked to your social sites. It is estimated that over 250 million people log into Facebook every day.
As your list of friends increases, the number of people seeing your blog updates every day will increase as well. The same thing is true when you make a tweet on Twitter. This is a simple way to keep in touch with people and drive traffic back to your website.
These are several examples of how you can use social media networks to generate repeat business for your Internet website and blog. Social media is definitely here to stay and must become a bigger part of your Internet business if you expect to survive.

3 Easy Ways to Gain More Blog Traffic From Social Media Networks
Social media networks can provide both a constant stream of traffic and extremely large sudden spikes. Before Facebook and Twitter, these bursts of social used to be a known as the “Digg Effect”.
The problem with relying on these traffic spikes is that they cannot always be predicted or controlled. While they are a great bonus, it is normally a much more effective long term strategy to focus on generating a consistent stream of social media traffic for your blog or website.
Let’s look at 3 easy ways that you gain a more steady flow of traffic from social media networks to your blog or website.
1. Use Distribution Tools
The first step is to utilize social media distribution tools. These tools are designed to promote your blogs RSS feed via social media sites. There are several tools that will help you distribute your RSS to literally hundreds of social media sites. These tools are designed to save your RSS feed and automatically post new blog content to all of these sites simultaneously. This means that once you set them up, they will take care of everything else on their own. If limited resources is a concern, then this strategy is a great approach that is very hands-off, once everything is set up.
Some of the more popular tools include:
- Ping.fm – free!
- Hellotxt.com – free!
- OnlyWire – free trial.
2. Maximize Your Profiles
With every social media site, you have the ability to set up your own profile. While they are a great way to tell others more about you, they also can provide a number of SEO opportunities as well.
In order to get as much visibility as possible for your profile, and thus your content, you need to understand its full potential to provide you with more organic traffic.
Facebook: With Facebook it is all about the “About Me” box because that is only part that will be seen by search engines. Try to include your URL and several primary keywords. There are also SEO-like parameters used within the Facebook search results as well, which will gain more traffic from within Facebook.
Twitter: With Twitter it is all about your username. Try to choose a username with your brand or primary keyword. You should also upload a picture with your keyword as the image file name.
3. Leverage Active Groups
Every social media site provides some type of group. Try to create or join active groups because they will drive traffic to your blog and website as well.
Since social media sites are very active, you need to make sure that the groups you are in will be active as well. With all social media networks, it is as much about the activity level as it is about the number of people in the group. This is a similar to list-building. A small list of very active buyers is more valuable than a huge, but inactive list.
The best part of working with social media networks is that all three of these steps can be implemented within a matter of minutes and require very little additional effort once they have been completed.
