How Social Media Can Increase Online Traffic to Your Site by Ten Times in Only One Month!
Don't believe it's possible to increase your online traffic by TEN TIMES in one short month using social media, blogging, and online articles? Let's start with the visual proof first. Then we'll talk about how you can emulate the same results for your own website.
Remember the YouTube video I posted on this blog a few weeks back? At the same time I posted that video on PPG's YouTube Channel, the company that helped me to produce the video also posted it on their own YouTube Channel. I took it a step further by promoting my YouTube link on various social media sites, this blog, and a couple online articles. The other company didn't. Here are the results:
Webpage that was posted and promoted: 229 views in one month
Webpage that was posted but not promoted: 23 views in one month
That's the indisputable power of blogging, online article writing, and social media marketing at work.
Each and every time I post a new blog entry, video, or online article for my book business, the very next thing I do is share that link on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn (including various groups on LinkedIn), Reddit, Digg, StumbleUpon, Mixx, and Multiply (to name a few). The entire process takes about half an hour of my time. And the results? Well ... they speak for themselves.
In the coming weeks, I'll be posting more details about the importance of key words, back-linking, and various other online marketing tricks that authors can use to their advantage. In the mean time, if you start with these basics, you should still see a pretty amazing increase in your online traffic.
(P.S. The same technique that works for authors works just as well for businesses! And PPG has a group of strong, talented SEO writers who are ready and willing to write for you!)

I'm looking forward to the rest of this series and I'm looking forward to learning some basics about these ideas which have been a bit of a mystery to me as far as the best way to implement them and how they increase one's exposure to the marketplace without being an annoyance.

Question: do you use exactly the same wording on each of the SM platforms mentioned above or do you tailor the message for each example?

Hi Danusia,
It depends...
Some online publications are fine with you posting the same entry in more than one place, while others prefer 100% unique posts.
For example, I advertised this YouTube video with three different articles in three different places:
1. Examiner.com: How to Sell More Books: Post a Video Reading on YouTube
2. Suite101.com: Author Photos are Important
3. PPG Publisher's Blog: Modern Marketing for Authors: Post a Video Reading on YouTube
Then I took those three links and posted them all on Reddit, Mixx, Digg, Stumble, etc.
But sometimes you can post the same article in more than one place. It depends on the terms of the site your posting to.
