Want to Grow Your List? Try Using Social Networking Sites.

Twitter.com. Facebook.com. LinkedIn.com. Friendster.com. I’m sure you’ve heard some of these sites. And maybe you’ve taken a peek at some of their home pages or even signed up for a free account. But, Are you generating a ton of qualified leads using these sites yet? If you’re not pulling in traffic using these sites, you’re certainly not alone. Plenty of people haven’t even touched the social networking scene yet. And many of those that have ventured out into this relatively new territory aren’t matching their strategy or their message to the medium. You see, you can’t just post a profile on MySpace and talk TO your audience. These are social networking sites, meaning you talk WITH your audience. In other words, it’s a two-way conversation. And if you try to make it into a static, one-way conversation, you’ll find very few people interested in what you have to say. To that end, here’s what you need to do to start making the most out of social networking sites: 1) Join and Set Up Your Profile Stay away from setting up a jumbled profile with lots of images, colors and fonts that make it hard to read. If people have to struggle to read it, they won’t. And you’ll lose a potential prospect. On the flip side, don’t make your profile into a “clinical white” corporate-type site. People don’t visit other people’s profiles to read about companies. If they want to look at a business page at all, it’s because they want to find solutions to their problems. In other words, your profile isn’t really about you. It’s about your prospect. 2) Contribute Good Content Social networking sites aren’t for blasting out one commercial message after another. And in fact, doing so can get you banned. However, you can use these sites to establish yourself as an expert in your niche, as well as to attract qualified leads to your site. And to do that, you need to contribute good content on your social networking blog, on the forums and elsewhere on the site as appropriate. Doing so starts the conversation with like-minded others – and networking is the key to using these sites successfully. 3) Start Now Today is the time to get started. And that’s because social networking is not only hot today, it’s the future of the web. We’re seeing this evolution right now – and if you start using social networking sites immediately, you’ll be rewarded handsomely in new customers, new leads, new sales … and plenty of money! Stay tuned for the more secrets of using social networking… And Happy New Year!

Social Bookmarking: Waste of Time or Traffic Generator?

Greg Russell — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:05:41 +0000

Before we can discuss whether “Social Bookmarking” is a waste of time or a traffic generator, let’s first make sure we know what social bookmarking really is. Check out this 3 min. video:

Social bookmarking: You’ve heard a lot about it… and maybe you’ve even tried it yourself a time or two. But either way, you’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a waste of time.

And yet you keep hearing the gurus brag about how much traffic they get from these sites. They talk about getting hundreds or even thousands of visitors in a very short amount of time. They warn you that social bookmarking sites and other social media sites are the future – and if you don’t start using these sites now, you’ll be left behind.

Is that true?

To be blunt: Yes.

And that’s why I want you to know how to use social bookmarking sites. These sites are easy to use, you get instant traffic and the traffic is targeted and warm to your messages.

Here’s how to do it:

1) Join the Top Social Bookmarking Sites

Run a search for “social bookmarking” sites in Google, and you’ll uncover plenty of sites. You’ll need to focus on two types of sites: 1) the main sites (listed below) at get the most traffic and 2) those sites that are tightly focused on your niche.

Here are some the best social bookmarking sites (that you should join ASAP):

2) Participate, Network, Contribute, Network

You can’t just join these sites, bookmark your own pages and expect a rush of traffic.

Think of it this way: If a stranger came up to you on the street and said “visit this site,” would you? Maybe. Maybe not. But you certainly wouldn’t feel compelled to do so.

Now what if your friend emails you and says, “check out this site.” Would you? Probably! And that’s because you know this person and trust his judgement.

Likewise, that’s why social bookmarking sites are so powerful. Namely, bookmarked pages have a better chance of being seen by thousands of eager visitors IF some of the well respected members of the community rate them as good sites first.

That means you need to network and become friends with the influential members who are in your niche. And that means you must also become one of these respected members by first voting and commenting thoughtfully on other people’s content.

3) Submit “Buzz Worthy” Content

Once you’ve networked with influential members on these sites and built up your own reputation, it’s time to start submitting some of your own content.

But here’s the catch – you can’t trot out some dusty old content that can be found in a thousand other places online. It needs to be fresh, engaging and “edgy.” In short, it needs to be worth sharing.
