Title: Social Media Promotion

Hello,

Social media is THE way to get traffic these days. The 
traffic is easier to get than Google traffic, and its often
a lot more effective in terms of getting the traffic to 
take action.

Before you decide you don’t want to use social media, just
read through this whole email and see what you think. It’s
really quite easy to use, and no, you don’t have to spend
all day talking to people. Social media really doesn’t 
work that way.

Look, I’ve heard it all before:

“I hate social media with a passion!”

“I’m not a social person.”

“I tried social media and it didn’t work.”

If you think you hate social media, or you think you have 
to be a social butterfly to use it, you’re wrong. And if 
you think social media doesn’t work, you’re definitely 
wrong, because social traffic is some of the easiest, 
highest quality traffic the internet has ever seen!

Most people seem to think you have to chat all day to 
be effective on social media, but that’s not true. 

It’s just like any other promotional method. Once you
share a post, you really don’t have to interact with
anyone if you don’t want to. People may comment on your
posts, but you aren’t obligated to respond. 

Let’s take a look at one social media site so you can 
get an idea of how easy it is to use.

If you’re not familiar with Pinterest, it’s like a 
virtual cork board, basically. You create different 
“boards” and then “pin” content to those boards.

There’s a system in place to let people comment on
content and be “social”, but most people don’t really
use it much. More likely, users just “re-pin” content,
meaning they pin other people’s content to their own
boards, which is a great thing. They may also just 
“like” the content.

Pinterest is a beautiful thing, because all you have 
to do is create different boards and “pin” your own
content and other people’s content to those boards,
and as other people see it, they will “re-pin” it to
their boards, letting their own followers see it.

The biggest “secret” to using Pinterest is simply
making sure each article you write on your site has
a fantastic image to represent it on Pinterest. 

Ideally, the image should be taller than it is wide, 
because Pinterest gives more real estate to taller 
images, thus making it more likely your content will
be seen.

Facebook is the behemoth of social media:

>> http://www.facebook.com 

Once you build a fan page in your site’s niche, 
you can spend a little money on Facebook ads to grow
the page’s fan base. Once you get a decent number of
fans, the page will begin to grow organically.

Using a great image on each article will also benefit
you on Facebook, because it’s will show up when you 
share your content on Facebook. A great image will 
make it more likely that people will visit your site
when they see the post on Facebook, and that they will
like, comment, and share, which will get your content 
seen by more people.

Instagram is another very useful social site:

>> http://www.instagram.com 

Instagram is a content sharing site. You post an image
or video using hash tags (like keywords, but proceeded
with a hash tag symbol, like this: #keyword). 

Other people will find your content by either searching
for that particular hash tag, or they’ll see it because
they have followed you on the site.

Again, you don’t have to be social. Just share your 
content, and you’re done.

You can’t provide direct links on Instagram, but you 
can post the URL of your site in the description of 
anything you post, and you can have a link to your 
site in your profile, too.

Hopefully you see the power of social media, and that it
really doesn’t require you to be social. It’s just sharing 
content. That’s it!

Alright, tomorrow is our last lesson. It’s all about ways
to make money, including the best ways to promote Amazon
products, and how you can make income in addition to 
your Amazon links.

Until then,
