There are some social marketing services that you should definitely use if you want to start getting more traffic to your website. The ultimate goal of social marketing is to get the message out. It is a form of viral marketing. In the old days of internet marketing, you had to manually set up referral marketing campaigns and do things like e-book marketing to get people to distribute your content and get visitors back to your site for free.

However, in current times, social marketing has evolved a lot. There is more than one way to get viral traffic and referrals back to your site automatically without you doing anything. But you need to make sure you know what you’re doing with the traffic once you get it. But that’s a topic for another day. There are tons of social marketing services that can increase your credibility, reputation in your niche, and ultimately your income.

Now what you don’t want to do is use poor social marketing services that can get you banned from sites or even blacklisted. Some people discover this the hard way. If you think buying 5,000 Facebook likes or 5,000 subscribers to your Twitter account is an effective way to market and get more sales online, you are definitely wrong. Some people think that if they can just “look good” online, people will think they are experts and then start buying from them. This could not be further from the truth.

People don’t buy because they think you are popular. People buy because they think you have a good solution to a serious problem they have. If all you have to offer is 5,000 Facebook likes to a person with acne problems, then you won’t get the sale. So, don’t invest in social marketing services that will only make you look good, but have no effect on the amount of sales and profit you make.

Now I mentioned that I wanted to go over some social marketing services that you should use to drive traffic to your website. I’m about to list some of my favorite tools to use and how I use them, and how you can also use them to get the positive results in your business that you are looking for. And don’t be afraid to invest in paid social marketing services as well, because sometimes these paid services offer worthwhile automation tools. This is the first social marketing service you should use:

1) Twellow

Twellow is like the “yellow pages” of Twitter. If you want more followers on Twitter, this is where you should start. You can sign up here and browse through the categories for your niche, and start following people who have similar websites or Twitter profiles that you have. This is a free and easy way to start getting more Twitter followers without resorting to software that can get you banned from Twitter.

In fact, a long time ago there was this very popular automated payment software called “Tweet Adder”. It was so popular that a second version was made and it was called “Tweet Adder 2”. It allowed him to massively get thousands of related Twitter users to follow him and start marketing them.

Needless to say, it was so successful and popular (and against Twitter’s terms of service) that anyone found to have used it at some point was banned from Twitter.

People were generating a huge following on Twitter and were using their “direct message” (DM) box to solicit leads and human traffic. This got out of hand and a solution was needed to prevent this bad practice from continuing. Then, people’s accounts were deactivated and they no longer had to use their Twitter profile to acquire business. And finally, “Tweet Adder” was closed and discontinued. Here is another social marketing service that you should use:

2) Hootsuite

Now, I mentioned earlier that there are some paid social marketing services that you can use to automate your marketing. Hootsuite is one of these tools. Hootsuite provides a wide range of social marketing tasks that can be performed. And it is 100% legal and does not violate any terms of service on social media platforms and online websites.

One of my favorite features of Hootsuite is its ability for your social media content to be posted automatically. What you would do is feed some pre-embedded content into Hootsuite and specify when you want the content to ship. This saves a lot of time and if you have a website that already has a large amount of content, this would be a great way to distribute it on the internet.

And as you already know, if the people on your social media accounts like what you are sending them, they will also forward your information to their friends and colleagues, giving you more free visits to your website and content. Hootsuite is great and offers a TON of other social marketing services, but this 1 alone is worth the investment.

Here is another social marketing service that you should use:

3) Add this

AddThis is a social media button platform that allows people to instantly share their content automatically on their social media accounts. AddThis allows you to embed code on your website or blog, and make social media icons appear on every page of your site. If someone lands on a page on your site or blog that has great content, they can instantly click a social media button on your page and share your content with their followers.

This is a quick and easy way to get free syndication without you doing anything. And AddThis is free!

These 3 social marketing services are tools that you will want to use if you want to strengthen your social marketing campaigns and obviously get more traffic to your website. They are simple and while it does pay 1 (Hootsuite), it is highly recommended that you invest in it for the longevity of your website and business.
