Social Media Strategies

Every blogger utters that to be a successful blogger one should target Social Media at first as their main source of traffic but it is a fact that only few bloggers are able to generate traffic from social media marketing.

Bloggers have different intentions behind blogging, some of them struggle to make their name remarkable in the field, some of them do blogging to make money and some of them like to interact with people. All these things are possible if a blogger get success in driving traffic to his blog because without traffic not a single blog can achieve the above goals.

Despite the fact that most Americans have embraced social media, recent studies show that as many as 72% of businesses that have a social media presence do not have a clearly defined social strategy in place. Without a clear social strategy, building a successful social presence that inspires customer loyalty and engagement is nearly impossible.

You can't deny the power of social media. But, if you're anything like me, then you also realize that effectively running social media accounts can take up tons of your time. That is, if you let it.

In my preceding article Facebook: The Money Game, I mentioned a technique from which you can make money and the technique was active Facebook fan pages. One of my friends read that article and asked me, "How can I create an active Facebook fan page".
