Using Social Networks to generate traffic

Tweet

So, I'm trying to learn how to use social networks to get my content out there. What I've learned so far is that there a few tried and true ways to do it. I think the best way by far is to have a good website, or blog. It's true, you don't get something for nothing - you have to make content that people like. If you have a straight-up marketing blog with nothing worthwhile, people will not pay attention. You have to give them what they want. So, what I'm focusing now on is trying to get a crew of people with similar interests. I'm on del.icio.us and twitter. Twitter is fun because you can do micro-blogging. Basically give people a one-sentence statement like: "Hey, what are you up to?" That way, people will reply with links and websites that will lead you to content. With more friends on twitter, you can have a hundred hits within a few minutes. If you have a viral video, this is a good way to generate steam. Thanks for reading!
