How to Improve Visibility Through Liking Facebook Fan Pages

One of the most important tenets of online business success is traffic generation. If no one is visiting your website, blog or fan page, you are in the digital wilderness. I am speaking from a position of experience. By liking fan pages of people with similar interests, I have had referrals to clients. I recently signed a contract to produce top quality articles for a blog site simply by liking and commenting on someone’s fan page.

Get Fans Involved

Of course, just liking a fan page is not enough.  Constant interaction is necessary to keep current fans coming back and to get new ones. Some proven ways to drive traffic to your website and keep your fan base in the process are:

• Get your fans involved by asking questions or asking them for their opinion. When they respond, you also need to respond to them
• Post relevant content that is unique and interesting
• Post often so there is always something fresh for your fans to read
• Combine your other social networking tools to your fan page. This way, when you update your fan page – Twitter and LinkedIn etc will be updated as well
• Offer them gifts, such as a free ebook, a free session if you are a coach – you are limited here only by your imagination
• Engage your fans, they will be your most valuable assets when it comes to driving traffic and increased business
• Say thank you when you receive new fans! They will remember, take it from me. You can do this by giving a gift or by simply saying, ‘thank you!’

For most of us, the traffic will not start coming right away, but do not give up. Over time, if your content is great and you give your fans what they want - you will see growth. Do not make the mistake many people make, they build a fan page and then just leave it and expect to get fans. You have to work at IT and work at IT constantly.  

If you need some help to grow your fan base or just to get motivated to write content, join April’s Ultimate Blogging Challenge.

One Month of Nonstop Blogging Fun

Once again I’m taking a stab at the "@" Ultimate Blogging Challenge – posting one article per day for the next 30 days. Truth be told I am yet to complete a full month with work and family obligations getting in the way. However, this time around I intend to get to the finish line.

 

The group of people who normally participate are a sharing group who try to motivate each other. I am hoping to use this support as my motivation to post to my blogs at least once per day every day. The focus of my blogging for April will be on my blogs for Superior Web Content and Jamaica For Visitors.

During the times that I have participated in the Challenge I have found that I was inspired to write and the topics just came. Of note is that my traffic also increases during this time, as does my workload as new clients find me due to my increased blogging activities.

You can read more about this adventure by visiting the website. You will find an interesting mix of writers and diverse subjects being covered in the blogs. I know that I have formed friendships as well as grow as a writer and freelancer from this interaction. Whatever your reason for blogging, this is the perfect opportunity to help you achieve your goal.

It is not too late to join the Ultimate Blogging Challenge.  I would love to see you there. 

Blogging for Business Success

It has been a while since I have blogged as I was very busy doing other things, such as revamping my businesses. Granted, I’ve been thinking about starting for quite a while, but decided to begin at the start of a new month. New beginnings are always an exciting time. To top it off, I decided to join the Ultimate Blogging Challenge. I thought that posting a blog a day for the next 31 days would be a lot of fun.

I intend to get one of those nifty, I COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE badges on my site at the end of the month. So, my steps to success in this challenge, just like for business success are:

• Planning: I’ve started to assign my topics for each day of July. Of course, some days I may end up writing about something else if it is relevant and timely. That is also the way to success, being able to move with the tide when necessary.  
• I’ll definitely be writing some topics ahead of schedule. Those who make hay while the sun shines can rest when it rains without worrying.
• I will also be assessing how much traffic the articles I write for this challenge brings to my blog or website. If it is not what I expect or want, I will learn from it and possibly change the focus of the articles.

These days, the need for quality content is more important than ever. As an article and website writing article services provider, I know the value of re-evaluating and re-assessing website traffic to reap online success. Blogging is still definitely a great way to get hits and grow your business online.

July, here I come!
