Using Social Media For Getting Referrals

PhilipMerwe

Published on September 1, 2016

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

So I thought it would be a great idea to use social media as a platform to get referrals for Wealthy Affiliate.

The first round I used Facebook advertising and had many clicks with a lot of people signing up for the free account. Unfortunately few of them, in fact none so far converted to premium membership. With the Faebook bill quite high, I decided to try a different approach.

During the second round I tried facebook groups and twitter feeds, and although I got a lot of clicks, none of them even signed up for a free account. So far, efforts have not reaped rewards, but I will be persistent and try different approaches.

Has any of you tried social media marketing and what has your experience been like? I would love to hear how my fellow WA community experienced this approach.
