Blogs The Best Social Media Traffic?
A lot of people for some reason don’t consider blogs to be social media, but last time I checked Wikipedia listed blogs in their definition of social media. The thing that most people get wrong is they don’t make their blog social media friendly. The result is you’re blog is more like a regular website than it is a blog.
Don’t get me wrong you can use wordpress or any blog cms (content management system) to turn it into a different type of site such as a sales page, opt in page, affiliate review site… but you should still have a blog that works like a normal blog.
If you are using any form of social media such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube where do you send your visitors? Or worse do you send them anywhere?
I send them to my blog and you should too. Most people on other social media sites are looking for interesting information and interaction. If they like your YouTube videos, twitter post… then they will be interested to see what other cool information you have and to interact with you more.
So the ideal place for them to go is your blog. You should want them to go to your blog – it should be your home base for interaction. You should link to it from the other social media sites that you are a part of.
Why should your blog be your social media home? Because you have more control over the content of your blog than any other form of social media. Therefore the visitor from the other social media sites can go to your site and then you can direct them to sign up for your list or buy a product from you.
So here’s what you do…
Go to Twitter post a tweet about one of your blog post, put a link in your twitter background about your blog so that whenever someone comes to your twitter profile page they can go to your blog to see more of your content and interact with you.
It’s hard to sell to social media traffic, you should always try to entertain them and build up trust with them and to do that a blog is a powerful tool, then when they are on your blog you transition them into signing up to your list or buying your product.
You can do the same thing with other social media sites including other blogs. You can post videos on YouTube or other video sites and put a link to your blog in your channel background, video descriptions and actual videos. Then tell them they can get more information about you at your blog.
YouTube is the 4th biggest site in the world, people go there to find information (to learn how to do something) and to be entertained. What you have to do is show them or teach them something and entertain them. Next tell them to get more from you head over to your blog.
Following this simple traffic funnel method you can get tons of visitors to your site, you just have to do it. Just make sure you make your blog social media friendly allow people to post comments easily. Then make sure you post some good content related to what you are selling or giving away. Finally make sure you make it easy for them to sign up for your list or buy your products. Then create a video related to that content and link to your blog, create some tweets about your blog post and do that over and over, soon you will be getting tons of traffic to your blog. Just do it once you have the blog post the rest is easy.
Remember there’s massive free traffic from these sites and if you do it correctly you can get a massive amount of new visitors onto your blog and into your business take advantage of it!

How Internet Marketers Get Income Security Online?
One of the biggest challenges that separates the full time marketers from the part time internet marketers is the full timers have ‘income security’ If you want to go full time online, you need to have income security in place.
Knowing that you will get relatively the same pay each month (if not the exact same) is a reassuring feeling, knowing you can relax and not have to worry about how much money you’re bringing in. This is one of the benefits a typical 9 to 5 job offers.
Shouldn’t this be important in an online business as well?
That’s exactly what I thought, so I wanted to share a few things you can do to make sure you are bringing in a monthly income even if you have a bad month and your typical sales are down.
The best thing you can do by far is to create or promote a membership site. From my personal experience I have both created and promoted memberships sites for the past few months and have noticed a nice increase in my income from very little effort.
Think about it… all you have to do is get a visitor to join a membership site, and then you will be able to get monthly paychecks (assuming the membership site is good). I admit I’m not the expert at membership sites… I made a lot of mistakes with my first membership site and it probably cost me a lot of money and I’m not sure I provided enough value – like I typically do with my products.
The lesson I learned is, don’t just create a membership site without knowing how to create a good one!
You see, I didn’t know how much content to provide and I had no idea how I would create enough content on a monthly or weekly basis. So here’s what I did, a few weeks ago I purchased a product from my friend Jason this guy creates some of the best products I’ve ever seen. So why am I telling you this, because he created a course on membership sites. That totally helped me realize everything I was doing wrong –thanks Jason!
The cool thing is you can set up a membership in under 6 minutes using free software. If you thought creating a membership site was hard, think again… I learned how you can easily create tons of content for a membership site and set it up for little to know cost (you don’t even have to be an expert). Plus you should know that getting new members is actually really easy using these secret techniques.
If you want to lock in your online income security you can learn how to create an awesome membership site by clicking the link below.

4 Utilize the @ reply on twitter such as @jbode if you were sending a reply to me. This creates several important advantages including more exposure for you and the person your replying to, twitter users are more likely to check an @ reply than a direct message, an @ reply is more personal…
