If you’ve been moving your Network Marketing business online, you might be using the new model of attraction marketing. You’ve probably put some content up on some of the social networking sites like Squidoo or HubPages.

You’ve hopefully written a compelling piece of content, full of helpful tips, strategies and techniques to your target market. You’ve really “put yourself into your target market’s shoes” and know your reader quite intimately.

You’re writing on a topic of interest to them, found a need that it has and provide a solution to that need.

Your content is keyword rich and you have paid special attention to the title tag, sprinkling both with the keyword phrases you want to come up on the Search Engines for.

Perhaps you used a free keyword tool like Freekeywords.wordtracker.com or Goodkeywords.com

You’ve used good copywriting- relating to your audience, drawing them further and further into your article. You are a helpful guide who can empathize with their problem- you have been there, done that.

You talk to your reader: Instead of talking about how “we” age… how “we” encounter various health problems, you talk to the reader about her life… her future… and most importantly, her feelings.

Now your article is finished, you’ve submitted it to your favourite social networking site, but the traffic is as slow as a trickling tap in a drought!

Here are a few tips to quickly and easily increase traffic to your page:

You can send links out to the Internet community through:

• Blogs or Website (yours and others you can access.)
• Friends via Email
• Favorite online discussions forums and chat rooms
• Social bookmarking sites, like Digg, Furl, Delicious and StumbleUpon.

Blogs or Website

Posting links on blogs and websites generates traffic in two ways. First, people can easily follow the link to your page. Second, Google and other search engines recognize links as a sign of approval, or “thumbs up”, for your article. That could lift you up in their rankings, which leads to more traffic.

Friends via Email

Friends, family, and anyone who shares your interests are ideal recipients of links. They’re the ones most likely to post comments on your social sites pages and post links on their blogs or websites. Here are some painless ways to reach out and link to someone:

To Email a HubPages link. Just click on the “Share it!” link at the bottom of your Hub, then click on the “Email this page” link. You can import addresses from your address book and add a personal note.

Favorite online discussions forums and chat rooms

Add links wherever your personal information appears. Put links in your email and discussion forum signature lines, and on your Facebook profile and Twitter profile or updates. These are quick, simple ways to promote your pages.

Social Bookmarking Sites

Social bookmarking sites are a great place to reach out. Digg, Furl, Delicious and StumbleUpon allow you to submit links to your Hubs, Lenses and articles and any of your favorite websites. Visitors will then check out your article. If they like it, they can give the link positive votes, which will expand your reach to an even larger audience.

A word to the wise: These social networking sites are community orientated! They’d like you to participate actively and add value to their site. The site can work against you if you’re only out to promote yourself. Don’t just go there and bookmark your own pages- in fact for every page of your own that you bookmark, you should tag at least 4 or 5 pages not related to your business. Interact in a truly social way.

Social Networking is Participating in the Social Community

At HubPages, Squidoo and most Social Networking sites, participation is the equivalent of one hand washing the other. If you read and interact with other community members, they in turn will drive traffic back your way. Here’s how to have a win-win situation:

• Leave relevant, helpful comments on other people’s pages. (Make sure they’re relevant and helpful so they’ll be approved and displayed.) Other community members will see the link in your username. And the person you left a comment with will probably return the favor, which means your page is getting visited – a plus for search engines.

• Become a fan or friend of your favorite members. Leave them supportive fan mail (with a link back to your profile, naturally), and check their newly published pages. This boost to the ego is often returned.

• Take part in discussion forums. You establish yourself as the helpful expert, which drives links and comments to your pages.

Social Networking- combining network marketing and web 2.0 – like this can only help you, your fellow members, and ultimately the Social Networking site as a whole.

Learn social networking- the rules of the sites, which sites to go to and, most importantly, the social etiquette.

Do this and before you know it you’ll be driving tons of free traffic to your site!

Bookmark Websites

I’m looking for some good international social networking sites (social networking sites that are particularly designed for international friendships / penpals), but not as big as Interpals, LiveJournal or Myspace. Preferably an international social networking site more known in East or South Asia, rather then what is most known in the states. Like Mixi, for example – But open to foreigners.

Thanks.

MySpace, YouTube, FaceBook, Flickr, etc… It’s all been done… or has it? What type of social (or anti-social) networking site would you start up if money were no issue?
