There are some social marketing services that you should definitely use if you want to start getting more traffic to your website. The ultimate goal of social marketing is to get the word out. It is a form of viral marketing. In the old days of Internet marketing, you had to manually set up referral marketing campaigns and do things like eBook marketing to get people to pass on your content and get visitors back to your site.
However, in today’s times, social marketing has evolved a lot. There is more than 1 way to get referrals and viral traffic back to your site automatically without you doing anything. But you have to make sure you know what you are doing with the traffic once you receive it. But that is a topic for another day. There are tons of social marketing services out there that can increase your credibility, reputation in your niche, and ultimately, revenue.
Now, what you don’t want to do is use poor social marketing services that can get you banned from sites, or even blacklisted. Some people find this out the hard way. If you think that buying 5000 Facebook likes or 5000 subscribers on your Twitter account is an effective way to market and get more sales online, then you are definitely wrong. Some people think that if they can “look good” online, people will think they’re an expert and then start buying from them. This could not be further from the truth.
People don’t buy because they think you’re popular. People buy because they think you have a good solution to a bad problem they have. If all you have to offer is 5,000 Facebook likes to a person who has acne problems, then you won’t get the sale. Therefore, do not invest in social marketing services that will only make you look good, but have no effect on the number of sales and profits you make.
Now I mentioned that I wanted to go over some social marketing services that you should use to drive traffic to your website. I’m about to list some of my favorite tools to use and how I use them, and how you can use them too to get the positive results you’re looking for in your business. And don’t be afraid to invest in paid social marketing services too, because sometimes these paid services offer worthwhile automation tools. This is the first social marketing service you should use:
1) Twelllow
Twellow is like the “Yellow Pages” of Twitter. If you want more followers on Twitter, this is where you should start. You can sign up here and browse through your niche categories, and start following people who have similar websites or Twitter profiles to yours. This is a free and easy way to start getting more followers on Twitter without having to resort to software that can get you banned from Twitter.
In fact, a long time ago there was this very popular automated payment software called “Tweet Adder”. It was so popular that a second version was made and called “Tweet Adder 2”. It allowed him to massively get thousands of related Twitter users to follow him and start marketing to them.
Needless to say, it was so successful and popular (and against Twitter’s terms of service) that anyone found to have used it at any point was banned from Twitter.
People were amassing a massive following on Twitter and using their “direct message” (DM) box to solicit leads and people traffic. This got out of hand and a solution was needed to prevent this malpractice from continuing. So people’s accounts were disabled and they could no longer use their Twitter profile to acquire business. And finally, “Tweet Adder” was shut down and discontinued. Here is another social marketing service that you should use:
2) Hootsuite
Now I mentioned earlier that there are some paid social marketing services that you can use to automate your marketing. Hootsuite is one of these tools. Hootsuite provides a wide range of social marketing tasks that can be performed. And it is 100% legal and does not violate any terms of service on social media platforms and online websites.
One of my favorite features of Hootsuite is its ability to automatically post your social media content. What you would do is enter some pre-embedded content into Hootsuite and specify when you want the content to be delivered. This saves a lot of time and if you have a website that already has a ton of content on it, this would be a great way to distribute it across the internet.
And as you already know, if people on your social media accounts like what you send them, they’ll also forward your information to their friends and colleagues, giving you more free visits to your website and content. Hootsuite is great and offers a TON of other social marketing services, but this 1 alone is worth the investment.
Here is another social marketing service that you should use:
3) Add this
AddThis is a social media button platform that allows people to instantly share your content automatically on their social media accounts. AddThis allows you to embed code on your website or blog, and have social media icons appear on every page of your site. If someone lands on a page on your site or blog that has great content, they can instantly click a social media button on your page and share your content with their followers.
This is a quick and easy way to get free distribution without doing anything on your part. And AddThis is free!
These 3 social marketing services are tools you’ll want to use if you want to strengthen your social marketing campaigns and obviously get more traffic to your website. They are simple, and although 1 is paid (Hootsuite), it is strongly recommended that you invest in it for the longevity of your website and business.
