I'm going to discuss an extremely useful technique for any eCommerce business: Facebook. Yes, really. It's the perfect technique for an eCommerce business because it gets you sales while using almost nothing except a Facebook account.
If you don't have a Facebook account yet, you might be thinking that you're not getting targeted traffic. You're wrong. The volume of people on Facebook is massive. While it's true that you won't get all of your targeted traffic through your Facebook account, you will get a lot of targeted traffic if you simply make a few simple changes.
If you want your traffic to be as targeted as possible, you should start out by creating an account on Twitter. Tweet out whatever product you're promoting, and when you notice that you're being flooded with traffic, try using another social network like Facebook or LinkedIn. You'll get a ton of traffic from those other networks as well. Just remember that the amount of traffic you get from these two other social networks is nowhere near what you'll get from Twitter.
The reason why you should create a Facebook account as soon as possible is that you can use this strategy with the least amount of work. The only thing you'll need to do is create a profile, and this alone will be enough to get you targeted traffic from your friends. When you post your promotion, make sure you also include links to the SaleHoo reviews or your own website in the post.
To add further value to this strategy, you should also add your link to your Facebook wall. This way, people will see your posts on their news feed and they might even decide to check out your website. This strategy is so powerful that you should have at least one friend who's actively using this technique on their account.
Another very important thing that you should know about this technique is that you can make money online through it without spending a dime. The key to this strategy is to create many different blogs, and then distribute them all over the internet. While you're doing this, you can also post articles on sites like EzineArticles.com. In this way, you can submit articles that are related to your niche to multiple article directories.
You should also start posting other people's content on your social media accounts. It doesn't even have to be original. If you are already receiving traffic from Facebook, Twitter, or even LinkedIn, then you can just repost other people's content, and when you do so, try to include links to your website and reviews of your product.
This technique works best with a Facebook account because you can do it without having to invest anything and make a ton of money. Even if you've never used social media before, it's totally free to sign up for a Facebook account. So go ahead and jump into your business and start using this extremely powerful technique today.
