In the present-day world of information technology, social media is probably the strongest platform to share or promote everything in our lives; and if you look forward to doing business, you have one of the best options – to build your own website, and share your product/services on the social networking sites.
This will highly increase the probability/chances to promote your brand, as well as, to boost your website traffic, and resultantly, get a good ranking in the top search engines. This article discusses some of the most effective ways by which you can easily do the job, and if you believe that you can implement them properly, you are sure to get good traffic, and in no time!
To begin with, add a ‘tweet’ button to all posts of your blog for others to share your contents to Twitter. This will not only make sharing easy for your visitors, but also develop a tendency for them to click.
Like thousands of other companies and business owners, having a Facebook page of your own is certainly very important. This, undoubtedly, works effectively. Also, there are additional subscription options for users in Facebook, which, in turn, can help in expanding the platform of your business. It is very likely that, many new visitors to your page, who were not your personal or FB friend previously, will ‘Like’ your page.
You might have lots of blog articles in your website’s blog section, but maybe you rarely share them over social networking sites. This is not a good practice, since you are not utilizing the opportunity of utilizing a heavy platform to get your good works shared with other people, and eventually drawing traffic to your site. Also keep in mind that, there are some useful online tools that can make your task even easier. At the same time, do not forget to add a Facebook button against each element/content (graphics or text) on your website wherever possible.
Encourage your visitors, readers, and users to promote your website, its contents, blog posts, etc. in various social bookmarking sites like Stumbleupon, Reddit, DIGG, etc., which will not merely spread your site’s reputation or your brand name, but also give you a good ranking in the search engines. However, you might as well want to post it yourself. But yes, stay alert of doing this too frequently, since then, you might be blacklisted by some bookmarking sites that penalize users for multiple submissions.
Using social sharing tools, like Flare, is also an important way using which you can combine sharing options via FB, Twitter, social bookmarking sites, email into one single tool. This will again allow your visitors to easily share a blog or graphics over multiple platforms, and in a very short time period. In this context, social-powered commenting tools, like Disqus or IntenseDebate, are also helpful.
A considerably large number of people neglect this point, since they rarely understand the importance of a catchy and appealing heading, or even a convincing headline to post blogs or other contents on the social media so that the readers easily feel the urge to share them. Hence, make sure, your content heading, as also your post’s headline are catchy enough to ‘lure’ others share them instantly, or even to get your ‘Likes’ and ‘Comments’ on the social networks.
This, finally, is probably the most important point. You should understand that your blog can only excel other average/mediocre blogs, if it is what others call a ‘good read’. Compromising on the quality of the article’s content (that includes language, grammar, tone, choice of words, etc.) will never fetch you good or quality readers. However, if you are really not confident about your writing skills, you can always seek professional help from other writers. In a nutshell, all you need to do is to have top-class content.
