Let’s say you sell Digital Widgets on your website. You probably talk about your products’ benefits and features already, using a link back to the site. You are aware that there are a lot of different products out there that you don’t sell, but would be a complimentary product for your customers.  You can use these products to provide them with information and great deals, if you work it right.

This marketing strategy works like this. You can create a new board on Pinterest with a whole range of complimentary products that your customers may be interested in owning. Of course you advertise the link on Twitter also.  You can check out my Pinterest page at http://pinterest.com/webwarrior 

According to reports, Pinterest is now driving a lot of revenue toward the company using code they add to the posts and a company called skimlinks.

This works because the other products you are promoting will take notice and possibly start to promote their products this way also. There is a good chance this will result in even more traffic to the site.

Connect all of your Social media platforms around this strategy for the most impact and influence.  For instance, you can talk about how well your strategy works on your Google plus feed. You may even have contacts on some of the other social networks that could benefit from your page. Remember to always link back.

This is a strategy that you might want to pursue if you are looking to generate more revenue.

There is a large market for free Twitter followers, as you can imagine. Just to check and see what this term gets, I typed free  Twitter followers into my favorite search engines. There were only 739 million returns.  That sounds like big business to me. Am I wrong?

Social Networking Sites, like Twitter , seem to be supporting quite a bit of business. You can get 15,000 followers in 24 hours for $39.00.

Of course, they are not real. Some studies show that you will get more real followers that will stay with you if you do the Tweets. Now I happen to think that Tweeting without using automation is more influencing. The Tweets seem more real? Who knows.

In Social Media land there are over 500 million Tweets per day. That’s 100 million Tweeters, Tweeting 5 times per day. Are you tweeting that much?

The Social Media Influence cost may be high, if you’re not.

Now , if you are a blogger , you should tweet your blog link to a social networking site at least twice a day. More may be better. Also, be sure to track your results and maybe even compare with other social media sites.

One of my rules of thumb is to promote other social media content on Twitter by Retweeting. This will also help to get you followers from other Social Networking sites. If you share generously , it will help you to get other followers also.

Some sites say that you should Tweet three times a day and some say 4 times. that’s every eight hours. Now that is going to be hard to do unless you can do it from your phone.

One of the social media jobs that Twitter does best is to drive traffic. It’s not fast and can take a couple of years, but it works. So the answer to the question is to tweet as many times as you can and feel like.

Of course, comments are welcome.

Now that mobile shopping has taken off in the great numbers it has , I am hearing more and more ,

the question of, Who needs a mobile website? Where do I find the best mobile websites on line?

Now , the short answer to the first question is that everyone needs a mobile website.

The answer to the second is that you need to talk to me about how to find the best mobile website.

Let’s talk about the former first. If you have a company website, you need to have a mobile website.

This is because more and more prospects are using mobile devices to find products and services online that they can use.

This allows them to read reviews and make purchases on the go.

In a very short time it has become a a large part part of marketing to the consumer and

most businesses should capitalize on it. If your business is not doing this, your competitors

are contacting those willing customers who are probably more ready to make a purchase or

visit a location than those searching on the regular Web.

The facts are that most of the search engines are in agreement that making your mobile site presentable

now is the way to do business in the 21st century. Don’t worry about whether the visitors will buy from it.

How good your site looks will determine what people think about your business.

One study said that over 50 percent of customers would not recommend a company

that didn’t have a mobile site. The study also said that greater than 39 percent went to

a competitors site after having a bad mobile experience. Very soon your mobile site will be

more important than your regular site.

Keeping this in mind , mobile traffic is on a long-term upward trend. It has been estimated that by 2013,

mobile traffic will surpass “normal” traffic online. Most companies have websites that are horrible looking on line.

if you have a flash website , you wont even be seen on a mobile device.

This is because the mobile platform has different needs to make it work. Even if you have a WordPress site ,

which is highly optimized for mobile, the specific needs of the mobile user will show that you are losing a lot of money by not having one.

For instance , locksmiths with a mobile website will be seen by a customer who has just locked himself

out of his car and is frantically looking for a way back in. The client will not see a regular website on

a smart phone or a site with flash on his mobile device.

The same can be said for a client who has a car that quit in the middle of nowhere.

They will be able to search for a tow service to come and get them. If your tow service cant

be found on a mobile phone, he will go to your competitor.

The primary difference you’ll see with mobile website design examples is that the content is organized

much better and is made for fingers easily finding navigation buttons. There will be no need for your

user to zoom in or out. They will not need to find navigation or squint to see what they need to do.

It’s all right there where they need it, when they need it.

Mobile website design offers the user an optimum experience, which keeps the visitor

on your site and converts into a customer and repeat sales.

Here are a couple of sites that are mobile website friendly that will give you an example

of what we are talking about.
