5 Ways To Get Social Media Traffic

5 Ways To Get Quality Targeted Traffic To Your Blog




Social media has been a huge traffic factor online for the last 6 years. Facebook is now one the most popular social media platforms in the world, with over 1.71 Billion profiles, it doesn’t take a genius to conclude that your target audience is going to be hanging out on Facebook.

With that said, let’s go over just 5 ways to drive a hoard of traffic from facebook to your blog.

  1.    Share a link: Depending on whether you want your mom to see your posts on your FB timeline or not it could be as simple as writing a short paragraph and include a link below to  your site for more info.
  2.    Create really good content: Find out what your target audience is into, i.e. check out Google trends, Yahoo answers, and do some keyword research for your content. Keywords are going to be your “hyper” words to attract search traffic. Sorry if this bums you out, but that is how many people find what interests them. Now once you have your content written use facebook’s, “Notes” and share that with your friends. Hopefully, most of them are in your target audience.
  3.   Create an attention getting image or Meme: Find an image on your hard drive or purchase one from a stock photo shop (online.) Make sure it is related to your content, you don’t want to have an article about weight loss and have a picture of a plate of mouth watering chicken Alfredo.  Add a short sentence, again that teases your target audience with a link this time in the comments back to your blog or squeeze page
  4.   Start an FB Group: Face book wants to be all things to all people. Before web 2.0 (social media site & networks,) the easiest free place to target your audience was forums. Facebook has such a thing as “groups,” that anyone can start. Like a forum, your target audience will flock to it like ant’s to a picnic.
  5.    Participate in Groups: Join a few groups in your niche, make sure they have a high member count and that your profile is complete and a linked to your site. Read the group description and rules before posting. Then introduce yourself and add a link back to your blog or squeeze page if permissible.  you participate and are helpful in the groups, you are going to attract several people that are involved in your niche. They will seek you out one of 2 ways.

a.   They will look to the introductions and find your link back to your site.
b.   They will click on your profile image and check out your timeline including your about page which should have a link back to your blog or squeeze page.

Well there you have it, 5 ways to get social media traffic to your blog.

  How To Start A Blogger Blog When I first started blogging about 16 years ago, I didn't have a clue what I was doing. My wife set up my first WordPress blog on a self hosted server and all I had to do was learn and write. I managed to find a lot of information about blogging from other blogs such as ProBlogger, and Yaro Starak. There was a lot of information that I had to wade through especially tons of out of date, time sensitive and irrelevant information.

 Three Steps to changing the header image of your blogger blog  For a writer the header image of your blog should be a top concern. What should your header image be? Should it be an image of you? Your work such as a stack of published books? Or should it be an image of you lounging on a tropical island with a martini in one hand and a tablet or laptop in the other? Whatever you decide, it should reflect You, and Your brand, especially if you are going to be taking vantage of social media. As part of my research I visited StephenKing.com and check out his header. He is using wordpress and his header is just his name in a square at the top left. I also looked up R.L.Stine.com and his image is a little more fancier than Stephen King's. In big Goosebumpian letters it reads "The world of R.L.Stine" Perfect. Both authors are using their platforms to brand themselves.  So what should you do? That depends on whether you are freelancing or are an author of books. In this post your...
