How to increase their business in SFI?
|
Hello Everyone, Here are some tips - works very well if you use them! 1* Author and publish guest posts on high profile or well-trafficked sites in your niche. It’s a great way to promote both your brand and your expertise. 2* Hold a sweepstakes, contest, or a giveaway on your site, promote it on your site, and on your social media accounts for some free buzz. 3* Pool proprietary data from your organization’s niche, industry, or even customer database (get customer consent and anonymize the data, of course) and compile it into a free report. 4* Leverage social media and social distribution channels to both demonstrate expertise in a subject and to share your content. 5* Make content distribution frictionless by adding social sharing icons site-wide (Facebook, Twitter, Google+). Use a free Wordpress plugin like Sharebar or have a Web dev resource implement developer sharing code, like Facebook’s “Like” button code. 6* Answering questions is a great way to build relationships and your expertise while helping others unselfishly market your brand and you can do this on social sites: Answer questions on Google+ Answer questions on Facebook 7* Join relevant or niche-related groups on LinkedIn and answer group questions and post news and event about your organization 8* Given that YouTube is the world’s second largest search engine, create a YouTube Channel and leverage proven video marketing tactics, like “how-to” style video content and response videos to improve search visibility and potentially drive leads. 9* Join forums that are relevant to your companies niche, join in the conversation and offer insightful and helpful answers to questions. 10* Blog, blog, and blog some more. Give your wisdom and experience away for free. Leverage your blog to build relationships and build brand awareness. 11* Spotlight individual thought leaders: ego bait-type posts are a great way to connect with influencers in your niche, who in turn can help expose you and your company to their audience. 12* Run a big best blogs in your niche type post featuring a bunch of great blogs and bloggers. Again, this is a form of ego-stroking that builds relationships, social engagement and many of participants will help promote the article. Tip: create “best blog” badges that blogs on the list can add to their sites. 13* Run a big group interview – helps you build relationships and brand evangelists within your niche, gets links, social media engagement and you can potentially create a super authoritative document that ranks for a competitive topic. 14* Run a weekly roundup where you highlight blog posts from around your industry; helps you make friends and valuable connections. Tip: be sure to @ the bloggers on Twitter from your roundup each week. 15* Run reviews on and help promote beneficial products or services in your niche (ego-stroking, relationship building). 16* Respond to all comments on your blog; engaging with your readership and nurturing a community on your blog is a fantastic and low effort way to build your brand and your site’s following. 17* Solicit guest posts on your blog and get free user-generated content and make friends in your niche. 18* Give a donation to a local organization or a national charity and get exposure on their donors page and potentially a link back to your site. 19* Sponsor an event and get listed as a supporter on their event site. 20* Ask for a testimonial or endorsement from your clients. It’s a free form of proof of concept for your products and helps instill trust, which can lead to more sales. 21* Respond promptly to customer complaints (again, and can’t say it enough, word of mouth is the best marketing tool, free or not). 22* Engage with popular blogs in your niche via intelligent comments. Link back to relevant value-add content on your site where applicable. 23* Help influential people in your space promote their own products on your blog and on social media (I guarantee that most will return the favor and help promote your stuff too). 24* Create a free how-to webinar or video. 25* Create awards for your industry, promote it on social media, reach out to everyone nominated for an award, create branded badges for the winners. 26* Create a free newsletter signup on your site and publish a free newsletter each month. Tip: to get fresh content on the cheap, you can repurpose content from your blog, Webinars, turn a white paper into a series of newsletters with a link to download the rest for free, and so on. 27* Market other products, services, upgrades from your company in your thank you emails and pages. 28* Organize a campaign against a particular injustice in your niche and get free publicity. 29* Think totally outside the box and do stuff like helping others with no expectation of reciprocation, which can cause really cool things to happen for your brand. 30* Read blogs, subscribe to RSS feeds of top marketing blogs and get even more free, or almost free ideas, each day to help market and grow your business on the cheap.
