Web Concepts

By Mitch “The Marketeer” Keeler

There is no doubt in my mind that social networks of all shapes and sizes help, not hurt, you when it comes to building your own name, presence and fan fallowing with your web site.  You have your MySpace, your Facebook, your Twitter and more. 

I think you should get your name out there anywhere and everywhere you can.

I hate that AT&T commercial where the British-sounding guy is “trying to find the Internet”, the great thing for them though is that even though I hate it I have seen it so many times I have picked up on the commercial’s main purpose.  It is for AT&T’s wireless Internet services. 

You can use the various social networks in the same way.. hopefully you will be less annoying about it.  Join up, toss your links in there and do your best to use the service to build new friendships, followers and fans.  I know with my own presence on both MySpace and Facebook - I have entries from my RSS feed going right into my profile so now that group of people I used to go to high school with can now see just about everything I publish.  These are eyeballs seeing my content that would not have without spreading out to the social web.

Finally this all comes down to, well what do you have to lose?  So maybe you don’t get any followers or dedicated fanboys knocking on your virtual social door.  You have gained a few more links back, and you now have a new place where people can find you.  Your creating a new path to yourself so if somebody stumbles upon it they know exactly where to look for more.  On the other side if things go well, then you might be able to get in better communication and contact with those who like what you do with your own web site and well, having fans is never a bad thing.

I don’t like paying for a lot. Why pay for advertising and marketing when you don’t have to? Here are a few was you too can become a cheapskate thrifty Online marketing mind.

Hit up the Forums and Message Boards

Posting your links in forum or message board signature sections might be another way to keep people coming to your web sites. It doesn’t cost a thing - and if your an active member of several forums it is a good way to grab people’s eyes.

Advertise with Your Message Board Profile Icon

Message board icons or graphics are a good way to go too. Instead of just having a picture of yourself there - put in your picture and your domain really small on the bottom of the graphic. This way you can have a double wammy along with the forum signature link to get more attention without paying a dime. (more…)
