How to Use Social Media to Jumpstart Your Website Traffic {Podcast}

Are you spinning your wheels with social media?

Are you spending a ton of time sharing your content on social media channels, but can’t seem to get any traction with your efforts?

Do you wonder if anyone is listening?

If this sounds familiar, you are certainly not alone.

Social media can be a powerful tool for your business. But, it’s easy to get swept up in a bunch of things that don’t really matter – likes, engagement and other fuzzy metrics – and you’re left wondering why it’s not working.

What you care about is traffic. Because, after all, traffic can lead to sales. And, that’s why you’re engaging in marketing and social media in the first place, right?

If you’ve been trying to make sense of how to use social media to drive people to your website, this week’s episode of The Marketing Huddle is for you. Stan and I roll up our sleeves to give you practical, proven advice to help you up your social media game in a way that drives website traffic (and results) for your business. We’re giving you tactical tips you can start implementing right away.

No more guessing. No more focusing on the
 fluff. Just some great ideas to help you get more people to your website.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not. You can do this. And Stan and I will show you how.

Here are just some of the topics what we covered in this week’s episode:

  • Why social media matters to businesses today.
  • Two important questions you should ask before engaging in social media for your business.
  • Which social platforms we’re most interested in right now.
  • Specific, tactical ideas for using social media to get more traffic to your website.
  • How to track behavior on your website to measure whether your social media efforts are working. (Plus Stan’s template for measuring conversions by social network!)
