How to use facebook for generating traffic
Many people have been using facebook nowadays as a method of advertising other websites or products. They are called social media experts. It includes stalwarts like Giovanni Gallucci among others.
I had earlier been using forums, and relevant forums to achieve the same end. I had found that if you voice your pitch and concern at a very relevant forum, you are likely to be heard and get the traffic as well as the attention that the website or the product deserves. The problem with this marketing approach is that it take a huge lot of time to research and find the relevant forum to pitch your a website or a product. You will then need to join the relevant forum that may take additional time.
Using facebook to advertise any product or service is different. First let us not underestimate the power of the 250 million plus users that facebook has. Each user has typically 125 connection. That makes facebook one of the most attracitve way to make your website or the product known to other persons.What social media experts essentially do is that they create a huge number of connections. They are able to do so by writing and citing interesting topics.
They then join forums and start interacting with people online. A typical social media expert has few thousand people in their connectoin. The key to the successful marketing here is to mix the regular posts with some advertising.
For example if I want specialise in marketing the gadgets. I will usually write about the gadgets and latest electronics usually. Then once in a while I will write about one particular gadget that I actually want to advertise. Social media experts are paid to do this kind of job.
If you want to use facebook, start increasing the number of people in your connections and start becoming active by posting something on a daily basis. Depending upon the number of people in your connection, your post will have enough clout to generate few hundred traffic for each message you post.
Many social media experts are criticised for using facebook for advertising to the extent that the line between their posting and the spamming is blurred. Make sure that you are not termed as spammer. The key to successful marketing here is to give variety and quality to the content you post on facebook.
