How do you make social media work? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

So I need to have 25 likes to create a unique url huh… good to know! hopefully its an easy process to change it!  I just setup twitter and facebook pages today, finally checking stuff off my to-do list.

Here's a little secret Yakezie community: use Fiverr.com to have your post bookmarked by over 400 websites for five bucks.  It's really the only virtual assistant work that I subcontract out.  Can you imagine manually submitting to 400 bookmarking websites!  it's effective for backlinks, but isn't going to do much for traffic.  The key is to build up those links and move up the ranks of Google for your select keywords.  As simple as that my friend.

Yah, check out Fiverr for sure.  It really is a great resource.  You have to scan for scammers though, i've been burned.  Hit me up if you have doubts about a Fiverr deal, i don't want a fellow Yakezie member making the same mistakes I did haha.

Social media is on my someday list of to dos.  However, I did put up a facebook page just to reserve the name. 

I'd love it if you 'liked' it!

The link's not right but I did find and like your page.

Suba, I also send all my posts to facebook and twitter.  I submit to Reddit and Stumble Upon the most.  I don't submit much of my own posts because I don't want to get banned.  However, I do submit other people's articles.

I am sure there is a ton of traffic I am missing out on because I don't tweet a lot and other things.  There are only so many hours in a day.  I am still trying to figure out how to maximize the time I have, balancing my real job, family, blogging, reading, etc! 

We all do a lot to support each other, between blog swaps, guest posting, commenting, tweeting etc…. I'd really like to get a group of us together to submit each other on Stumble, Reddit, Tip'd, and Digg.  If we each submit each other and "like" the link (or whatever they call it on each site) I think some of us would see a nice bump in traffic.  Somebody submitted a post of mine to Reddit and I got 33 views that day, possibly a subscriber from that, and the average time on site went up.  I submitted one of my own yesterday and 28 people visited from there.  I think we could work together and really drive some traffic to our sites using this approach.
