The reason you want to do that is that those who already love your offerings and are fans will, once they follow you on social media will share your info with their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Help Your Audience Promote You<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8212; There is a lot of technology that helps you automate some things. Help your audience automate how they can share throughout all your blog posts, articles, and other content. For example, you can add the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/quote-tweet\/\"><u>ability to Tweet out various quotes<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;from your content.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Create Groups<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 On LinkedIn.com and Facebook.com, you can create your very own group that you are in charge of. This is a great way to build a loyal, social-media audience that takes action on your content.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Collect Email Addresses<\/strong>\u2014 On Facebook, you can now create a way for your audience to sign up for your email list right from social media. Then, you can send them messages in email that send them back to your website.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Create a New Email Signature<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 When you send out emails, there is a great opportunity to let your audience know about your social networks and other things you\u2019re doing at the end of your message in the signature line.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cross promote on multiple channels. You\u2019ll be glad you did. It might seem redundant but it\u2019s a great way to help expand your brand and reach without a lot of extra work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get People with Clout on Your Side<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You know it\u2019s true. People who have good connections will make more money and get more jobs than those who don\u2019t. This is true whether you\u2019re online or not. You\u2019ve heard the phrase \u201cIt\u2019s not what you know, it\u2019s who you know.\u201d Well, perhaps that is an exaggeration but it is true. If you know more people, you\u2019ll be more likely to get hired and get paid more money too. The cool thing is that you can get to know those movers and shakers and leverage them to expand your reach on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Interview Them<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 You can do a video or podcast of the interview and then share it on social media with a blurb. You can also open up Q &amp; A on a Facebook group with the video as the start of the conversation to get people to pay attention.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Call Them Out<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 This can be dangerous but if there is a guru that you really like you can write about them in articles, blog posts, and even social media posts. Tag them in the work. You may bring some of their audience to your page by doing this.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Take Pics With Them<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Go to a live event, and take a selfie with them. Wait a bit and remind them before your next launch about the fun you had by posting the picture. That way you get back on their radar.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By bringing your social network to the attention of an influencer (or influencers), you can then get the attention of their audience (who of course should be the same type of audience). This is a great way to give your social media networks a boost, which will help bring traffic to your website as long as you\u2019re linking to your website with new posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stephenfbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-3758364_1280-1024x437.jpg\" alt=\"get traffic from social media\" class=\"wp-image-505 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/stephenfbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-3758364_1280-1024x437.jpg\" alt=\"get traffic from social media\" class=\"wp-image-505 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-3758364_1280-1024x437.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-3758364_1280-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-3758364_1280-768x328.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-3758364_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Traffic Generation Cycle When Using Social Media<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to using social media to generate website traffic is there is a cycle to it all that will help you get more traffic. So, try to do these things every single time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow these steps:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create Content for Your Website \u2013 Your website is the center of your marketing. It\u2019s your business, it\u2019s your storefront, and this is what you\u2019re trying to get traffic to. You need to make it a priority to create relevant content that speaks to your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Share That Content to Social Media<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 When you post something on your blog, someone else\u2019s blog, or have any type of news about yourself &#8212; share it to social media. Optimize the share for each network and share as many times as is common with that network using a different blurb each time<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Share to Your Email List <\/strong>\u2013 Likewise, share the link to the post within the email list that you have for that website. People who have signed up can be reminded about the content and they\u2019ll come back.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Engage with Comments<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 When you share things on social media people will comment on it, ensure that you comment back. You want your audience to know you\u2019re available and ready to interact with them. This builds trust, and due to that trust, they\u2019re more likely to click through to your site.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Repeat<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Don\u2019t spam people, but you may want to repeat more than once and change it up a little to ensure that it works well for your goals. After all, not everyone will see your Tweet at 10 am. You may need to send it at 10, 2, and 6 pm for maximum exposure.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do this for every bit of content that you create, you\u2019ll find that you build up more traffic to your website so that you can get them to convert to buyers and become your customer and not just your follower or friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stephenfbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-4140959_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"get traffic from social media\" class=\"wp-image-506 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/stephenfbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-4140959_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"get traffic from social media\" class=\"wp-image-506 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-4140959_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-4140959_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-4140959_1280-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/social-media-4140959_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Getting Started<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about using social media to build traffic is that you can start now by simply opening up social accounts.
