Social Engagement & Marketing
Updated

As Social Media (FB, Linkedin, Google +, Pinterest, Twitter, etc.) is very popular, it is a known fact that they are useful in driving traffic to our websites.

Not yet ... but I am watching how it is working for the others. M

Thanks Melody!
It's great trying and using it to get more traffic and we could avail with it free. . .

It time permits, got good feedbacks on the use of SM on this link:
http://bit.ly/1sjiGvA

As my niche is spiritual marketing, I advertise in spiritual groups advertising my services with links to my website - and I'm starting to see results with 4 jobs coming in yesterday. I also have a friend who has her own page where she gets over 12,000 likes each week and has over 1 million likes. She's now sending them over to her website where over 1000 have already signed up to her newsletter. I'm now helping her to monetize her site. She's sitting on a gold mine :)

Thank you Gordon!
That's a great testimony and success story on the use of FB groups and Advertisement.

Just have some cautious feedback on FB "Likes" on issues of "Click-Farm" Fraud worth reading shared by Steve:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/ivetriedthat/blog/facebook-fraud-how-click-farms-are-ruining-your-ad-buys

Thanks, benzburg. It's a bit hit and miss but if you do it every day you get results. It took my friend 5 years to get it to 1.2 million likes just by posting every day and branding herself! Once she hit 30,000 likes - within a year it climbed to over a million. Apparently, when you reach 30, 000 Likes you get listed on the Recommended Pages, and that's where she got her Likes from. Btw, someone just offered her $36,000 for her page, but it's worth a lot more than that!

Oh! It's a painstaking work but it is worth the effort.
That's great. . . .

I do have a FB page for my site. I'm getting some shares from things I post but they are usually only broadly related to my nice. I'm not going to pay FB for promoting posts when I know it's not the only way to get viewers.

Great feedback Melanie!
At least you are utilizing FB without a penny. Perhaps it is good to extend also to FB groups wherein you get connected with people related to your niche and possible prospects. Again, we just have to spend time and build relationship.

The process may take time but it will definitely help to get additional viewers on your website.. . . .

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely look to see what groups I can find!

I have used FB groups and pages for years. I have several pages, but it's getting harder and harder to do anything with them now that FB wants you to "boost your posts," which means pay for it. They let us have it all for free and then started putting a meter on it. Smart marketing for them; not so much for us.

I am beginning to dislike facebook.
For me right not I only stay for family connection, share, photos!

They will drive everyone away by thinking people will pay for it. Just will not happen.
I use it daily for all of my websites and such, but the day they make it too much work is the day I will move on.
Right now it is worth the effort, but I am a bit unhappy by how the timeline posts show up. One will be 10 hours ago, and the one under it will be 2 hours, just no sesnse in order at all.

Agree, Shawn. I promote my writing there and I'm in several writers groups, but I don't do anywhere near as much as I used to. Little to no return. BIG SIGH

I am getting a good return for my effort on one site, simply because it is promoting a service any demographic might need, thus social media exposure does really work on this niche. On others, yeah, not much happening like it used to

I am sorry it did not do much for you. You are a fantastic writer Carla.

Thanks, Linda! I have other promo techniques. Maybe they'll appear in a blog one night. :)

Thanks for your comments Carla/Shawn/Linda!
Things are indeed getting too commercialized in some aspects at FB with various problems such as privacy issue, bugs on newly introduced trends, and others.

Though this is the case, I am still using it in "free" package. As of now I can't see justification for levelling up to "paid advertishment or features". Still many people find some of the services worth paying. As I mentioned, for me the advantages is still worth using it. Though for Social Media I am a fan of Linkeidn, FB, Google +, Twitter, etc. in that order.

Your feedbacks is definitely helpful and appreciated in WA community. . . Thank you!


I do know Jay likes the targeted ads feature and has had good results with it. I am seriously thinking about running a couple test ads myself.

Also when some posts something for sale I post my affiliate link

Having your own FB group or fanpage helps on this as you can have full control of posting and be more visible and not just depending on the trend of others.

I've been told it is a waste of time to be marketing on facebook, but I do it when i meet the right person.

Hello Meryl!
There are many ways on how you can promote at FB some of them we discussed previously. Many of the ways are free while others with payment. I have never tried going to paid advertishment. It may be good for some people and situation.

As time is so precious, we got to be more vigilant on where we should invest our time and in what ways. Our learning experience matters.

Get lots likes but that is it. So I am beginning to think there are just toooooo many affiliate marketers on Facebook now. May be it will go into the Internet black hole Just like my space did. LoL

Thanks Tommy for dropping by.
As you have said, you may have all the "likes" yet not converting.
So, basically SM (social media, FB) is just one of the ways to drive traffic to our website.
So, we still have to learn to create a good website through our trainings at WA plus our social media presence and other ways. .. .

I promote WA on my Facebook page and in groups. Actually that's where most of my referrals are coming from right now. It's a lot of programs and services that get promoted in Facebook groups that don't work.

Just do a search in Facebook for home business groups, make money online groups, etc. There are a lot as I am part of a few hundred groups. I just provide them with the value of setting up a free account to start their online business. And on my fb page I mix it up. I sometimes post about a blog post on my WA website, or just post about the value of WA.

A lot of people aren't making money online and I purposely try to spot them on fb and appeal to their struggle and provide them with a solution.

Good points Terrell!
Indeed, tons of programs and services on fb groups. With this competition, it is usually very hard to stand-out from the crowd. So, posting on many FB groups sometimes seems to be a waste of time. This is the situation wherein having your own FB Fan Page or FB Group is good to have better control and wherein you can build peoples relationship online.

So, here at WA we are being thought on the better ways or I may say a more scientific approach. If we wnat to promote WA best to go on the Affiliate Bootcamp to learn, and go for the trainings for our own website developments.

Thanks. . .

Hi Benjamin I have the same question than Emily as I am sparsely using Facebook for contact with friends at this time. Could you explain how you are using it for business?

Thanks Daniel for dropping by.
I have posted some pointer on Emily's post.
So, you can post your website link on your social media (FB), in order to get traffic into your website. So, SM serves as a launching platform to your website.

Increasing your contacts and building relationship is a continuing activity and comes with consistency and persistency.

Hope it helps. . . .

Thanks Benjamin for the information!! I always wanted to use Facebook for business but gets hold back because I don't have Facebook groups. The only Facebook I have is my family and some friends, that's pretty much all I have. So how can I have this facebook group to help with traffic to my website?

Creating FB Group and Fan Page is Straight forward. You can use the icons on the upper left portion of FB page (Pages, Groups) by clicking it and following the pop-up menus. In the same manner you can use the button on top right to create pages.

You can also add your interest group independently even if you don't have an fb group. You can search for groups and join using the regular search area at top.

Got it!! Thanks again.

As a newbie, it is good to observe and study other Fan Pages structure to learn from them. Typically, FB Fan Pages are free except to a certain point wherein you want to raise further some additional functionalities intending it for business.

The FB Groups are free. Creating your own FB group and becoming an administrator gives you authority of the group and activities. You can then put a "pinned post" which always remain on top (a major advantages) no matter who is posting making your post always readable.

Thanks Emily!

Hi Ben, Thanks to your direction I have now clicked to join 2 different guitar groups that look interesting. Hope they accept me. I will let you know what happens. Blessings

That's great Emily!

So you could actually interact with the people in the group and learn from them as they may also have websites similar with your niche. As you go along building realtionship you could as well invite people to visit your site.

Good luck!

Thanks Ben, but I am zora2 not emily lol. That is ok. That's the plan for them to visit my site. Blessings

I just had my laptop formatted the past days due to corrupted Windows O/S. Before doing this, I was able to back-up important files from my hard disk. As I am trying to r

Could try Menu Bar -> File -> Import and Export

Thanks Edward!
Tried preliminary things like this b4 (Show all Bookmark/Import and Back/Restore, etc. . .
Hope 2 solve the issue soon. . . .

hope so too:)

Thank you Robert!
Your link is useful though still figuring out things. It shows more details on doing with Chrome.
Some "gray" areas on discussion for MFirefox on what exactly files to grab and put back.
Hope I could give more time and solve this issue very soon.
Will keep you posted. Thx again.

Thank you for the link.. I work from different computers, I recently synced Firefox between computers because I did not want to loose bookmarks. When bad computer was restored I just re-synced.
Your info. was very helpful, especially for those who only work from a single computer.

You've gotten lots of great advice here! Bookmarks are important. I am NOT good at backing things up so I pay Carbonite to do it. Good Luck!

Thanks Carla, (enjoy your weekend!)
This should be a very easy maneuver as I got a back-up of my files.
Hope to have the bookmarks back soon. . . . .

I'm in your corner rooting for you!

I would be devastated if I couldn't get my bookmarks.
I was frantic yesterday when I couldn't find a link I bookmarked but luckily I had it saved on my desktop as backup.

The desktop is usually the first "holding place" before I bookmark (just in case I forget which browser has it).

Thanks Ade,
Having a regular back-up is indeed important. I did it b4 the reformat. I just hope they are not affected by the crash.

The bookmarks are indeed very useful. Hope, I will be able to put them back soon. . . .

Two things I do that has saved me lots of headaches.

Use browser sync. Then you can have access to your bookmarks across multiple computers, or user accounts. If you get a new computer or do an upgrade, your bookmarks are there.

I also use a lot of tabs, so sometimes, my browser will start to slow down. One Tab and Tab Wrangler can save open tabs and act as a type of link manager. Tab Wrangler can sync between multiple computers.

Thanks Christopher!
I appreciate your comment. I have encountered this problem twice b4 (for MFirefox) and solved it successfully but things are not going straightforward this time.

This should only be taking few clicks, copy and paste.

For firefox go to "bookmarks" and choose "show all bookmarks" There is an import and export. Depending on what format your bookmark file is in will determine what to do here. I choose "restore" then scroll to the bottom and "choose file" navigate to where you have your bookmark file saved. Hope this helps. :)

Thanks Kathy!
I have actually tried this previously. Things are not going straightforward. Just hope the files being not partof the O/S were not affected with the crash . . . .

Good luck then, let me know if you get it sorted! :)

Were you reading my mind? I will be doing this, I do believe so I will be watching your posts. Please keep me abreast, in case I miss.Did you happen to see my blog?

Thanks Donna. :)
Yup! I saw your blog. Was even one of the first to comment.

Make the most of our time to help for peace and share the best time for our love ones.

Don't take anything or anyone for granted.

Excellent post. Thanks so much for sharing. Best regards to you.

Glad you like the post.

Thanks Donna,
A time to pause and look back at the important things in life.
It gives some sense of value to a lot of things specially famlily relationship.

Thanks for the thoughtful post, Benjamin. I think the biggest lesson learned from 9/11 is that life is short. Cherish it now. Hug the people you love. All the other ones, yes, but that's what really shot home for me.

Yes Carla!
It's bull's eye. Thank you. . .
That event touch me too that you tend to realize the importance of the people you love and around you. That you got to show your luv and their importance now as tomorrow maybe too late.

Hello Benjamin
What should we be doing now to reduce the chance?

We should put in all effort to help all people, all over the world, who are suffering under the actions and threats from terrorists. Whether it's in Indonesia or Pakistan, where ever, just take action.

Not only the ones who directly effect us, but every terroristic attack.

Loes

Thanks Loes,
Yup! Even just in small ways if we act we could impact the world.
It is the small things that grows big!

p.s. Where in the world was your profile photo taken? It's so beautiful. I'd like to go there one day.

It is God's gift of beauty. . . . .

Photo is from here - Canada!
Though we are again feeling the start of cool breeze signifying winter.
Seems fall got passed by. . . .
Yup! Come visit our place.
From where are you?

Australia, also a beautiful country -(the' luckiest' they say).

That's great Jen!
Hope to visit your beautiful country someday. I got a brother who immigrated there too with the whole family (wife and 3 girls). Now Australian citizens and now living succesfully and happy in Brisbane.

Thanks for posting this. The 5 facts are actually, in my opinion, things we can do to help others, and to remind ourselves that we are human beings with soul who care about humanity and the world in general. Lessons learned from t 9/11? We cannot escape any danger except to pray and have faith in God. Otherwise we'd be living in caves. I read someone's post which I wish I could share, but can't because content duplication is not allowed here. To summarize what this guy posted, there are people who should have been there, but for some reasons and circumstances they didn't show up at work, or at the Tower. These alone should make them feel grateful, because there are reasons why they were given a second chance to live.

Thanks Jen!
Indeed, sometimes we are thinking or complaining why God answered our prayer different from our wishes only to realize later that because of circumstances we have been spared from danger or even death.

We just have to learn to pray and commit ourselves as we go on the trials and journey of life. Wish you success on your goals through WA. . . . GBU!

A Man of Prayer is a Man of Power,

The 5 facts are actually, in my opinion, things we can do to help others, and to remind ourselves that we are human beings with soul who care about humanity and the world in general. Lessons learned from t 9/11? We cannot escape any danger except to pray and have faith in God. Otherwise we'd be living in caves. I read someone's post which I wish I could share, but can't because content duplication is not allowed here. To summarize what this guy posted, there are people who should have been there, but for some reasons and circumstances they didn't show up at work, or at the Tower. These alone should make them feel grateful, because there are reasons why they were given a second chance to live.

Thanks Jen!
Indeed, sometimes we are thinking or complaining why God answered our prayer different from our wishes only to realize later that because of circumstances we have been spared from danger or even death.

We just have to learn to pray and commit ourselves as we go on the trials and journey of life. Wish you success on your goals through WA. . . . GBU!

A Man of Prayer is a Man of Power,

All excellent points. M

My main objective on raising this question is not just to know who introduced you at WA but more important on “Tracing or Knowing the Most Effective Way of Inviting Peop

I too, like some that have commented, was looking for something that wasn't a scam. I'd already found a bunch of them and got myself in trouble. Then I came to One More Cup of Coffee, Nathaniell's blog. I read it all, even asked some questions. As they say the rest is history. Thank you, Nathaniell, he still helps me out a lot. :)

Great journey Judy!
You came in through Nathaniel which means letter a. WA members website and help (under Affiliate Bootcamp). This is also related with letter d. Others (web browsing and research).
Thanks! Looks like you got a good progress. . .

I was looking to see if a site was a scam and came across I'vetriedthat's link

Thanks Juliana for your comment.
This falls close to letter a & d. Got connected to an active WA members link with some searching. . . .
Hope you are enjoying your stay at WA!

you're welcome

I have no clear recollection. I had been doing a search for business opportunities and remember clicking on the wide banner with cash and a couch. When I got to the window it said free so I registered to see what it was like.

Thanks Philip for the feedback.
This scenario falls on letter d.Others (search engine, web browsing, etc.). That's great as you landed on WA University.
Enjoy the journey . . . .

I found Kyle`s website. He offered reviews on some online business programs and had a list of possible scams.
Hilda

That's great Hilda!
You came across with the pioneers and founders.
This generally fall under letter a. WA founders website.

As I recall, I ran across a posting on-line in some forum recommending the WA product. It laid out the case in a compelling way, so I was curious . I can't remember where I was when I first responded to the invitation though....

Hello Robert! Thanks for your feedback.
It looks like your answer is close to letter d. Others (random search, online forum).
Great as you landed at WA - the way 2 success.

Great post

In what case (letters a to d) closely resemble your entry at WA?
Thx for dropping by anyway . . .

Sorry! The letter D.

Thanks for further replying back. It is appreciated and it counts in the survey and query :-)

I arrived here when I was doing a "Scam Check" for another work at home opportunity ... my sponsor - "I've Tried That" Steve. I was welcomed by Kyle, Carson, and Steve all immediately. I went premium on the 3rd day. My goal is to create a supplemental income stream to carry into retirement ... as all of our retirement savings was wiped out due to a huge medical crisis ... so all we have left is SS ... which will not support the retirement of our dreams.

Thanks Melody!
Very comprehensive answer, the most comprehensive info so far :-).
So answer fall more on letter a. & d. Most likely you got a chance to check at Steve's WA site. So your case is a close case of success story of Affiliate Bootcamp.
Rest is history. . . Great job and journey at WA.

Personally .. I was with another affiate program previously and it was t for me .. They wanted a lot of money and it got me no where .. I wanted a chance to work from home .. It is and has been my dream to do this all my life .. After a bad day at work I decided I was going to do what ever it took and google brought me here .

Thanks Nick for participating.
So your answer is basically letter d. Google search after being frustrated in other non-legit ways. Good for you as you found the right way.

Yes d sorry haha

A friend had been in WA for several months, and when I was lamenting about how to go about getting into affiliate marketing, she said "I wish you'd take a look at WA". I did, became premium on 4th day. I have never seen it advertised anywhere, can you believe that?

Hello Carla! Thanks for your comment.
So answer is basically letter c. Friend introduction (WA website direct). Good you became Premium. In my case, I signed on the last hour of the 7-day trial period though I didn't have much time really to check the site well. I just had time to start checking it 2 weeks after Premium membership. . . .

Good journey on your part. . . .

I have been reading Eddy Salomon's site for a few years now and we chat on FB occasionally. I like what he writes. I had been seeing his page plug for #1 recommended business, but never clicked it. And the one day I did. I followed it through, read all about WA and decided what could the 7-day free trial hurt? Then I got into it and did the $19 and then, when I saw the power and opportunity here, joined for a year. Eddy still helps. He is one of the greatest biz people I know.

Thanks Carla for the feedback.
So answer is basically letter a. Eddy's website.
SM such as FB is secondary. It is a good story on being here at WA. The rest is history. . . .

Thank you for sharing, so true, so true.

Hello Linda!
Thanks for your comments/inputs always.
Yup! This thinks are happening in different degree of experience.

Have a nice weekend.

Funny, but true in a weird way. lol

Thanks Kelly for dropping by.
I'm glad you enjoyed reading the blog. Learning something and having fun as well. Reality check, basically everything is happening just put in a humorous way.
Have a nice weekend.

Lol, that is quite funny and also interesting! Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome Kim!
I'm glad you can pick something from the blog and having fun us well.
Wish u the very best in your journey.
Very good progress so far. . .
Way to go!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the giggle, Benjamin, but you are so right. We won't talk about how many times my head has crashed over the keyboard. . . . ahmmmmm :)

You are welcome Carla! Thanks for your comment.
Hope such incidence will wake-up us and keep us even sharper and smarter, lol!

Nice to know I'm not the only one!

@Linda:
Yup! Truly, anybody could relate to at least one of the indicators I've mentioned.
If you have an experience other that those mentioned, you are welcome to share it. Thanks again. . .

Stay focused stay sharp never quit. thank you Ben

Thanks Bill for constant comment and dropping by!
Yup! With a mind that is focus and attitude of never quitting and of course doing things with a smile will surely give us a smooth workflow and success. . . .

Dropping by with your "LIKES" is appreciated more so with your comment even just a short line . . . . Wishful thinking!

This is one of the features I want to ask Kyle & Carson to include. For us to be able to see the name of the people you made a "Like". While we can see the names in the e-mail, you can no longer check it when you have deleted them or do it here instantly. It's a good feature like in FB.

Another feature would even be an option "I Don't Like" or "I Hate It" which is found in commentaries like in Linkedin, etc. What do you think? (Sounds like another question, lol!)

Great job and very humorous. Humor is a key element of life!

Thanks Sandra for dropping by. I appreciate it.

What a noble cause you have. A website for a cause helping people without expecting any monetary reward. Most of the .org websites has this team.

Wish u success and goals in life through WA!

When you can walk along your computer in the morning without touching it :) Loes

Lol Eimhier!
I believe you can ignore checking number of "Likes" in your FB, but I doubt if you can miss checking the inbox of your WA family. . . .

Looking forward to see you again in your computer/monitor 2moro. hehe.

Patience and perseverance is what we all need along with a dash of humor Benjamin. You brought that all for me today
Ken

Thanks Kenny!
Indeed, in whatever situation we are we got to have the smile and humour as it gives us the strength to carry on. With the added patience and perseverance there in no way but to succeed.

Wishing u a great weekend. . .
