There are 80+ Social Media platforms available for you to utilize to communicate with your audience. As I check in via my page on many of them I see blatent advertising for all kinds of things that people are selling… or hope to sell… to me or anyone they can lure to their sales page.
Some recent experiences tell me that this is not necessarily the best way to go about your marketing process. Why?
A BIG why is because it can get you BLOCKED by users of some of the sites and that can get you SUSPENDED from sites that you were “counting on” to reach your audience. Oops! So what do you do instead?
Try Blogging! Get yourself a free blog at WordPress.com and at Blogger.com and post to them regularly and write articles about your products that you have for sale and provide a link to your salespage there. Use Article Marketing concepts to their extremes.
Then, when you communicate with your audience on the Social Media sites, offer a link to your blogs and they can (if they wish) go there to read your articles and buy your wares if that works for them.
The GOOD news is if THEY choose to go to your Blog and from it, they make a purchase, you can’t be penalized for that. Make sure that the service you provide is ABOVE reproach! Be the BEST in your line of product sales. Give the best Service. Mail out the FASTEST! Tell everyone that is what you do. Get testimonials. Share them with your readers.
Just don’t share all that in the Social Media Platforms and YOU can Succeed in a Big Way!
