Add A Share Button So Users Can Distribute Your Content Easily
With very little work and by simply cutting and pasting you can easily add a share button to your website’s content making it simple for your site visitors to distribute and share your content with their friends and those in their social networks. The easier you make content sharing the more likely your visitors will share your content.
Here are links to the few I mention in the video:
If you have any questions regarding how to set up any of the sharing buttons I talked about, please contact me and I’ll do my best to walk you through the set up.
Let me know in the comments what you think of this video, what I did right and what I may have done wrong.
** This was supposed to go up last night but I had issues with the video upload. The Oilers eventually lost in OT to the Canucks. Poor Devan Indeed.
In its current form I think that the weekly Twitter tradition of #followfriday or #ff is flawed. To make #followfriday actually useful again I think we should get rid of the listed names and instead offer up one follower and a reason why you should be following them.
That’s my suggestion for fixing #followfriday and I will be starting this upcoming Friday implementing this into my #followfriday.
Let me know in the comments what you think about the changes I suggested for #followfriday, if you will be participating or if you think I’m wrong and why.
I’ve noticed a trend lately where many users are simply retweeting others messages and I’m not sure if this is because they are new to Twitter or are trying to gain new followers by simply retweeting. If you are only retweeting someone elses message how will anyone know what your message is? By speaking in your own voice and tweeting own message you will be able to connect with others and build your brand far easier.
What am I doing right? What am I doing wrong? What do I need to address? Let me know what you think in the comments below.
Your social networking experience has very little to do with your friend or followers count, instead it has more to do with the quality of content and effort you put forth in engaging with the followers, friends or fans that you do have. The more you put into social networks, the more you will get out of them.
Looking around I’ve noticed a lot of sites and organizations that either aren’t using social media or aren’t using it effectively and so what I’ve decided to do each week is to provide my opinion on how a site could more effectively use the social networking tools we now have available to us.
For my first What I Would Do video post I have taken a look at the Liberal Party of Canada and their current battles with the Conservative party over the proroguing of Parliament. Instead of shelling out millions in print and television ads I offer a few alternatives that they could use to get their message across at a fraction of the cost.
Feel free to leave a comment below and if you are struggling in any way with social media or just want to brainstorm some ideas for your business please contact me by email, on Twitter or on Facebook and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
