If you have developed your image through a first class website and have a great
product or service, but no web traffic or sales, it is time to start using Social
Media for Buzz Marketing. Buzz Marketing through social media outlets and
blogs, if used properly, will drive 60% of your internet traffic.
Blogs are the number one source of internet traffic to websites today. Educated
bloggers know a blog is not the place hit people with a sales pitch. Blogs are for
providing useful information about your product or service. If you provide useful
information through informative content and don’t attempt to sell the reader at
this level, you will not only build trust with the reader, but market yourself as an
expert in the industry in which you are blogging about.
Social Media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, Digg, or LinkedIn are the second
most important aspect of Buzz Marketing. Social Media outlets step in to build
valuable relationships out on the internet and get people talking. But, again,
social media is not the place for your sales pitch.
You would not walk into a networking event and walk up to strangers and ask
them to buy something from you within the first 10 minutes of your conversation.
Blogs and Social Media outlets are built on the same premise.
While blogs and social media outlets are free to everyone to use, there are a lot
of small nuances that only experts in the industry know about. Breaking some of
these unwritten rules can cause you to instantly lose the relationships and trust
you have worked so hard to build up.
Everything I know about Social Media and Buzz Marketing is out there just waiting
to be found in blogs, Ezine articles and webinars and with the proper amount of
time anyone can become an expert. I hope some of the content I share here will
help you get started on the right path to building the buzz you need to drive
traffic to your site.
