October Challenge: Boosting Social Media Traffic (Are You In?)
My friends and I have decided to challenge us this October: Boosting our social media traffic through simple, daily steps! You can join in too!
As you might have already seen on my WA profile, I''m also in a small group chat where we help each other buld an online business and not give up during this journey.
One thing every beginner struggles with is getting more traffic, and thus the October Challenge was born!
Here's how it works:
Before the challenge:
- Choose 1 social media platform (Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook)
- On your profile, write a clear CTA (Call-To-Action) that tells visitors WHY they should check out your blog or website (freebie, step-by-step guide, special offer, discount, etc.)
During the challenge (daily activity):
- Write 1 new post every day on your chosen social media platform: It can be anything! Short or long, is not important. What matters is that we are active every day!
- For every social media post, add the right hashtags for your niche.
- Every day, respond to 3 other people in your niche: Retweets, likes, comments, etc.
And that's it!
We can all share our daily posts in the group chat and further help each other out by liking / retweeting / commenting... giving us that initial little boost.
So even if your social media account is completely new and empty, we can still support each other in this way.
Doing something DAILY is very powerful and it's going to be exciting to see how we all grow social media traffic during this October challenge!
What about you: Are you going to do the October Challenge, too? :D

Sounds good, I will keep an eye out for it and follow how it goes. Trying to focus on my sites more at the minute.
I love social media as a source of traffic. My main traffic provider is twitter, I have 26.5K followers which really helps but am building followers on a new account too. That has reached only 300 followers so far but will continue daily with a little effort.
Linda, 26.5k followers on one Twitter account alone is massive! Also, I like that you use it to drive traffic back to your site - you have a clear purpose to it and don't get consumed by it. Really impressive!! I hope I can achieve similar results :D I have followed both of your accounts just now :)
Not really that impressive not getting caught up in it, I don't get how people can waste so much time on any of the platforms to be honest. I have never had that much time to spare. If I get a bit of spare time its to learn something new.
Have followed back on the main one and retweeted a few tweets. A good reminder for me to also do the small one, will go and follow back on that one now.
Thank you.
Very effective for building clout in your niche, expert status, and generating a social following. I used these tactics to build over 14,000 followers on my largest Twitter account and am just now starting to build my brand accounts for my new blog. I take your challenge and will gladly seek others who look to network in the make money online niche via Facebook, my new target market. Contact me to exchange URLS.
Oh wow 14k followers!! Good to know this strategy brings such amazing results, I am very excited!! :D Cool of you to join the challenge, I've just checked your profile and am following you now on social media!
