Find nuggets of wisdom and drive traffic to your website through social media.
I don’t have to tell you how important it is to drive traffic to your website. Your website is where you show up as your best self, where you show the world what you are doing to make it a better place, and where potential clients can reach out to you. The only way for these things to happen is for people to visit your website, and social media is one of the best places to start!
Why I love social media…
While I know there are a lot of haters out there, especially Facebook haters (they do seem to get the most hate don’t they?) I absolutely love social media. Social media has allowed me to connect with markets otherwise closed to me, and connect with some of the most amazing clients ever.
And all of this on a platform that is free for me to use. Sure, there is a time investment involved, but being able to connect with potential customers around the world… it’s priceless!
So today I wanted to share with you how I create social media content from the pages of my website, while driving traffic back to my website. These tips are simple, easy and I am even going to give you some scripts to use! How cool is that!
