Moving Ridge with Social Media Marketing

The merging of two powers “Social Media Marketing & Artificial Intelligence”, Exhibit tremendous results in the field of companies and marketers.  In the mindset of a good outcome. Do share you overpriced response to this blog.

We have recently talked about the evergreen content(blog) how to create it and why they are important for your site. True, blogs are great for driving traffic, but they aren’t the only type of content that you can create. There are many types of quality content that you can add to your site, not only make it more interesting for your visitors, but multimedia content has many on-page SEO benefits as well.

Create Huge Multimedia Origin

When talking about blogs, people immediately think of written articles.  Writing is definitely a big part of it, but there are many other things that you can create. Even better by adding multiple types of content together and posting them as one big resource.

Written articles are quite boring to look at. A huge mass of text can be quite discouraging for some, which can put people off from reading it. Any other types of content that you can add to your posts will encourage people to keep reading and stay on your site for longer. A better way of looking at it though is that you are creating a much bigger resource for people to enjoy/learn from it. You are essentially making it easier for people to keep coming back to your site and share your resource.

Think about it, if you were visiting a site would you prefer to share lots of little bits of content on the same subject or one huge resource?

On-Page SEO Benefits

The Added benefit of multimedia content resources is that it makes it easier for search engines to find you.

On-Page SEO is just a term for information that search engines use to identify what your content is about. The more information you can give, the easier it is for them to share it with people.

An article with images, videos, audio, etc. could also be found via Google images, YouTube,etc. if you add a link back to your blog (post), you can get natural traffic that way. What search engines are looking for though is it’s;

•     Title
•     Alt tags
•     Keywords and other defining information.

That is what helps them identify what your content is about.

As multimedia resources contain many different types of content on the same/similar subject, search engines will be able to gain a clearer understanding of what your content is about. The easier they can do this, the more people they can send to your site as it will rank higher in the SERPs.

Let’s start with the obvious one – images!

Images are used so frequently that we can sometimes forget about them as readers. If though you were to remove them all, you would definitely notice!  Images are much more than simple window dressing; they can help illustrate a point, convey your ideas more clearly, be funny, entertaining, helpful, etc. That is why you should always strive to include images where you can in your posts.

The more ways there are for people to find your site, the more traffic you will get.

Infographics

An infographic means information with graphics is the only way of displaying information in a unique and visually appealing way. This information can be anything really, though the best are usually created using statistics or data. The best thing about infographics is that they are simply images. You can include so much quality information in one that it becomes very useful to people. These can then be easily shared on social media or uploaded and used on other websites.

Pinterest is a great place to both find and share your infographics with people.

What is better than a single image? Multiple images of course!

Slideshows are a great way to group together images in one nice, tidy place for people to flick through. If all your images are related then you can package them up as topical slideshows. There are plenty of sites online that will allow you to make a slideshow, as well as enabling you to share it online and embed it into your website.

Video Marketing

Videos are a great way to engage with your audience. More often than not, when given the choice between reading something and watching something, people will choose the later. It is easier to connect with audiences and understand what the creator was explaining when you can actually see/hear them. Tutorials are much easier to understand when you can see exactly what you need to do, instead of reading a description. Sites like YouTube, Vimeo and others are great places to upload your videos to. The added benefit of YouTube of course it is owned by Google, which means that they give preference to YouTube videos, helping them to rank higher in the SERPs.

Multimedia content, no matter what it is, is good for your site. You don’t have to add all of the above to each post, but it doesn’t hurt to add one of two to each. It can actually be quite good to go back over some old content and add something new to refresh it. The great thing is, you don’t even have to create the content yourself. Add videos from YouTube and slides from SlideShare and people will appreciate it. You are sharing their content to give them more exposure and you in return get some nice free multimedia content for your site.

Publishing massive resources all the time isn’t possible in most cases. Aim to make them into evergreen content and they could bring in traffic consistently over time.

There are some key points that you can use to improve your Twitter Marketing and increase traffic to your website.

 Driving Traffic From Twitter To Your Website

Let’s get to the point! You want to use Twitter to drive traffic to your blog/website. Twitter is one of the best social media tools for driving traffic to your website. It is such an amazing feeling when you tweet about a new post on your site and people start to re-tweet it, spreading the word.

Exploitation of Twitter and Blogging Together

To get the most out of Twitter, we need to promote Twitter on a website and there are a few ways to do this. The most obvious way to do this is to display a Twitter button on a homepage. This button links directly connect it to the Twitter account, allowing people to sign-up and then follow it.

Social Media Icon

Another great way to promote Twitter on the site is to display sharing links on your posts. As you can see, at the bottom of this blog posts is displaying share buttons. This allows anyone to share the posts on any of the social media sites online, including Twitter. Also, conceive by placing a ‘Recent Tweets’ box on your site. This will display your newest tweets that your visitors may be interested in. Ultimately, this is just another way to encourage people to ‘follow‘ you.

Promote Yourself

You need to make sure that you promote yourself and your blog on Twitter. If you can do this well, then you will be able to build a strong brand identity that will be beneficial in the long run.

One of the key parts of your Twitter profile is your bio. Write a bio that clearly states what your blog is about and add a link to your site. This sounds really easy, but take some time to think about this. You only have a limited amount of characters, so make them count. If after reading your bio, people don’t get what you are about, they won’t stick around.

Twitter Byline

The best way to promote your website is to tweet about it! Tweet about all of your new posts a couple of times a day and keep everyone up to date about everything that is happening with your site. Surprisingly, a lot of people think that if they promote themselves on Twitter, then that makes them a spammer. That is just not true! It is fine to promote yourself, as long as you do it the right way. Tweeting every 5 minutes about your new post or an affiliate link would be classed as spam. Mix it up a bit and you will be fine. Tweet about your new post, but then tweet about other things that might be related. If you can get the right balance and learn to promote your site in the best way, then you will begin to see results.

Shuffle Friends

Twitter is a social site, so be social! There is a whole community related to your niche out there, so get involved. Chat with people, make friends, share ideas, ask a question, re-tweet, etc. We all get amazed when we get followed by someone that doesn’t tweet. But when we checked their profile, they are following the galore amount of people, but have never tweeted a single thing. In this, we can’t expect to make friends and build your brand without tweeting.

Focus More On Your Twitter Followers

One of the best things about Twitter is that you can get almost instant reaction to your tweets from your followers. It is important that you listen to your followers as they can tell you what is working and what isn’t. A particular post that you tweet may be particularly popular, so you might want to do a follow-up post on the same subject. Similarly, if you don’t get much reaction from one of your tweets, it may be because there isn’t much interest in it.

You can just ask your followers what they like and what they don’t and why. This way you are almost treating Twitter as a tool for market research that can help you with your business.

Cracking Conversations

Twitter is full of people having great conversations with one another. The best ones are full of useful information that can be very helpful to you. Don’t be shy, jump into conversations, ask questions and contribute to the discussion, or better yet start your own. People are very helpful when you are nice to them, you can learn a lot from many different people and build a useful network of people.

Untwisted With The Factor

Be honest on Twitter. If you come across something that you really like, or that you think your followers will like, then tell them about it. If you find something that you don’t like, then also tell them about it and why you don’t like it. You may find that not all of your followers agree with everything that you say, but ultimately they will value your honest opinion, which is far more important!

Twitter Background Knowledge

Twitter allows you to customise your Twitter account, so you can change all of the colours and you can upload your own background image. Why is this important? Well, by customising your own account, you make yourself stand out from the rest of the crowd. You can make all of your account colours match your website colours.The background image is the most important part of this process. You can include a lot of important information on your background image that your followers might find useful.

Marketing yourself on Twitter can take up quite a bit of time, which you could be using to add to your website. Thankfully, there are some useful tools that you can use to help you.
