Clients have been known to tell me “let’s get some buzz” for my website. On a tennis court, we call that “action”. Action on the racquet. Action on the ball. Techniques that work. You win!
“Buzz” is chatter and traffic, it can be short term, it is quick. Here are some tried-and-true approaches you can follow to get action now:
Facebook Groups
Be sure to join the right group. You can track down groups within your industry to connect with your peers and prospective customers. Start with some research to find groups that fit your needs. Start by asking your colleagues and customers what groups they’re active in.
Facebook also offers a “suggested groups” feature that you can find on your top navigation bar when you view Groups from your profile.
Being active in Facebook groups offers a way to help drive people to your Facebook page. And, it does much more.
Convert prospects into buyers. Create a event or promote a giveaway of your product for a defined length of time.
Best part of groups? They require very little time and you can participate when it’s convenient.
I have discovered that image tweets get double the interaction of a standard link tweet. The process is simple. Just click on the little camera icon below the Twitter update box.
Why do you want images in Twitter?
Answer: You will get more favorites! You will get more retweets! You will get more click-throughs!
Overlay Words on Your Images to Convey Quick Meaning
Remember to put words on your image before you share it. A caption or even the title of an article that the image relates to can be useful.
Here is one of my examples with a bit.ly link to an article from a third source … superimposed on an image. I have also included my logo.
Horizontal Images Are Best
Horizontal images work best on most social sites such as Facebook as well as Twitter. Long vertical images get cut off in certain views, or they are difficult to see if fully expanded.
Tag People or Companies in Images
When you can, particularly when you are sharing a product image, remember to include the company’s Twitter handle in the tweet or a hashtag.
