Are you playing to increase
your stats? As opposed to leveling
up the character overall and giving them a boost to your presence. Get your status up in the streets while making a online presence of yourself to help get known.
1. Establish profiles on the major social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest).
Before launching any social
campaigns, take time to figure out which social media site or sites your
target customers frequent. Then set up pages or profiles on those sites
--
and post content regularly, at least once a week. To centrally manage
your social media posting, consider using a service such as
Hootsuite
2. Create fresh, shareable content. "Business blogs are the most cost effective way to boost your organic traffic," says Lisa
Chu, owner,
Black N Bianco Children's Formal Wear.
"Google loves original and
valuable content. By [creating] informative articles, not only will
Google reward your site, but people will organically start sharing your
blog
posts. [Just] remember: Write for your target audience not for Google.
3.
Offer influencers/bloggers free product(s) in exchange for mentions and/or reviews.
"When you first start your business,
it can be difficult to direct traffic to your site," notes Chu. "A
simple way to start a buzz around your product and website is to send
out free
samples to influential bloggers. Most bloggers will be happy to take
your free sample and review it on their blog," she says. "Once the
review
goes up, there will be a link directly to your site. That link will give
you a nice SEO boost on search engines" and will drive traffic to your
site.
4.
Follow and engage industry influencers on Twitter. "Build a Twitter following by favoriting and retweeting key people in
your industry," suggest Amir Tarighat, founder & CEO,
Superdense, a Web design and
development firm. "Use
Twitter's advanced
search to find people located within a specific area related to your
market and engage with them. You can also create Twitter lists of
people
in the markets you are trying to reach. Many times they'll engage with
you or follow you back."
