Secrets of Social Media Marketing : How to Use Online Conversations

 Today I want to talk about social media marketing which is known to be very effective at bringing in traffic very easily. However we are after targeted traffic which will convert in to sales so we need to put a little extra effort in to our social media marketing.

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is leveraging traffic through social media websites, both social bookmarking and social networking websites such as Facebook,Myspace and Digg and Delicous.

We will first start with social networking websites, such as Facebook.

You may be wondering how we can leverage traffic from these type of sites, well in some cases that is very easy. If you take Facebook for example you can type in to the search bar "migraine" and it will bring several Facebook groups which are related to migraine headaches. 

How about joining these Facebook groups adding some good links or information, make it useful then add you're website link too. You don't have to spam and I would NOT like you to spam at all but you can definitely pop you're link in there once in a while, just make sure you balance this out with other relevant and useful links.

You can also use Social Bookmarking websites to increase traffic to you're website by leveraging the traffic from these types of websites.

There are several tools which will help you to submit you're website to these social bookmarking websites such as;

www.ping.fm

www.onlywire.com

www.friendfeed.com

These websites allow you to submit websites to 30 plus social bookmarking websites which help to increase traffic AND are great for building links which helps SEO. All you need to do is sign up the websites above and go through the social bookmarking lists that are available there creating accounts at each and then submit you're website.

If you hate doing these repetitive jobs then why not outsource the work, you can find employees willing to make these accounts for a cheap rate at;

Bookmarking you're websites not only helps to increase traffic and build links but they also help to index you're website within the search engines in several hours.

I hope you use these tips effectively..
