Don't underestimate the power of Social Media
Social media can be one of the biggest platforms of organic AND paid traffic if utilized correctly. Over the last few weeks, Jay has held a live training of how to be effective with facebook.

From watching these trainings as well as following the initial insights from Kyle, you should be able to gain traction and traffic to your niche website.
Don't make the mistake of feeling embarrassed to share your post with friends and family. Ask them to like and share the posts from your facebook fan page.
Case Study
Here's proof that the training at WA works. Today I published new content to my website. I then went to the website, and the new post. Opened up google Analytics Chrome extension.
I then followed the training methods and posted the link to my facebook and google fan pages with a small caption (no boost traffic). I then liked and shared it from my personal profiles. Then back to the website and watched Analytics.
In 17 minutes, I had just under 1900 hits to that one page. I even got a notification from facebook saying that post performed 82% better than any other post on the fanpage.
In the next two hours I had an additional 732 hits. So in under 2 and a half hours 2600 people were visiting my site.
Word of mouth Has always been the best Marketing.
Here's the best part. I just logged into my campaign manager to see 372 new subscribers. In turn, all those new subscribers received a thank you email along with some very attractive coupons to one of my affiliate partners.
Now I have to check tracking on that link.
I know, I get excited easily. I have no patients. 233 Clicks! That means not only did the autoresponder email get opened (292 to be exact), but these readers followed the link to the affiliates product. This particular affiliate has a 60 day cookie retention, and the advertised promotion is only good for the month of October. Needless to say, I am excited to see what the next few days hold in regards to commissions.
I will say it again. Learn! Learn as much as you can. Follow the trainings and be patient. How much is one hour of your time worth? How much money are you losing by not following the trainings?

1900 hits from one Facebook post? How? I post to social media every time I write a new post. Might get 2 or 3 hits, that's it. I have more than 3000 FB followers and over 8000 on Twitter. I don't know how you're doing it, but that's awesome for you!
My results are normally never like this one was. I think it had to do with the title of the post. It received a lot of shares in a very short time.
That is an awesome result, how many followers do you have on FB and G+?
Keep doing whats working, test and scale up.
Cheers kev
That's the funny part. Currently only 49 on G+ and 136 on FB. My struggle has been the likes on and shares. They are all sharing what I share and its gaining traffic straight to the website instead of the fan page. I added a FB fanpage link to the email campaign leads to see if that heps
Are you just sharing you blog posts or writing a post with a link to your post?
You are doing exceptionally well. Stick with it and ramp it up.
