 Instagram is one of the hottest visual social media platforms, bringing a human and approachable aspect to your brand. If you have a brand account on the Instagram, then your main attention is to grab more followers’ every day.  Photos or images as you know make social media surfers go gaga. At Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest we have noticed photos drive more traffic to the websites, so on Instagram it is not something new.

Use of Hashtags

Just like Twitter, Instagram uses hashtags to organize photos. If you have used Instagram, then you might have noticed that the picture description has many hashtags, which makes the picture more searchable. Some hashtags are popular than the other, but it is advisable to use the relevant hashtags that fits your brand imag Instagram search engine is more powerful than the Twitter, therefore

if you start adding more hashtags, better becomes your chances of getting your images discovered by more number of people. Use at the most three hashtags as more than 3 makes people believe that the photo is a spam.

Research a little to see which hashtags are popular on Instagram. Include them in your pictures to reach out to the refined target. Here are some typical examples of hashtags that gains most number of followers: #love # follow #instagood #photooftheday #beautiful #instacollage #instapic #followforfollow #happy #picoftheday

Create Curiosity

Instagram gives the big opportunity to sneak peak and preview photos that will attract people to visit your website. You can take pictures of your new developing product and direct people to your website for more details, along with the release date. You may also post the pictures of your brand store or the upcoming events, and link it back to the relevant page.

Instagram announced recently that they are going to launch ADVERTISING in the popular social sharing site. This will help the brand using Instagram platform to drive more traffic and increased engagement. One year before Instagram was dealing only with popular brands with this new ad feature, but as days are passing, we hope to see more business besides big brands.

ALWAYS HAVE A CALL TO ACTION

Your leads need direction, when posting a picture on your description always put a call to action on your profile space. Make sure you add your website link or the link to your product and ask them to visit your site for more information!

Craigslist is the number one and world largest classified site to post free ads and drive free website traffic. It ranked the 51th most visited website in the world and 10th most visited website in the United States, according to Alexa. They charged for some post but most are free. It has limited each posting to a single area and category, once per 48 hours. As we know Craigslist received over billion-page view each month, that’s a massive amount of traffic.

What To Write on Your ADS?

Writing the perfect Craigslist post is about two things: The headline and the detail. The headline is the bait, and the details are the hook.

• DO NOT WRITE HEADLINES IN ALL CAPS. Or I will punch you in the soul. Seriously, do you want to annoy people before you've even had a chance to negotiate? Even if you do want to annoy the world, you should still avoid the caps. Capped headlines are the Internet version of compensating for a small

penis with a loud motorcycle; everyone knows what's inside is a disappointment.

• Headlines should be information-dense and short. This is an optimization play: the most amount of information in the least amount of space. Think about what you would look for in what you're hawking. If it's a vehicle, for example, you want model year, model name, trim level (LS, EX, and so on), transmission type (trust me), and color. For an apartment, the number of bedrooms, square footage, the floor it's on and the flooring type are good places to start. Selling your body? You know we got to hear about that ass. You need to make sure that people who are cruising through looking for something in particular see your goods' best quality, right there in the headline.

• One adjective per headline. Again, this is about avoiding the appearance of overcompensation. Choose the one descriptive term that you think best embodies the best part of your item, and show it to the world. Irresistible!

• Now make that adjective the focus of your review. You know what sucks? Arriving to look at something and being disappointed because it was not all that the ad promised. You know what is awesome? Arriving to look at something and being stoked because it's so much better than the ad promised. All your post has to do is get someone to come look at the item, so it's OK to leave some things out. Let the item do the rest of the selling. Not only will this not hurt your chances of success, but it will speed up the process. If a would-be buyer sees your stuff as a hidden gem, it evokes an urgency, a need to buy that thing now before someone else finds out what a smoking deal this is.

• Keep it short. Craigslist itself is a utilitarian medium: unfiltered information in its raw form. Make your post reflect the culture. Remember that people are likely cruising through dozens of similar posts; don't waste their time. Let the quality, condition, or price of your item make it memorable.

Which Section Should You Select to Post? There are plenty of sections and categories in Craigslist. Actually it will be hard to find the right section and categories if you are new. Anyway bellow discussion can help you a little.

Section: For Sale

If you own have some product or want to promote others product you can post your ads in this section.

Section: Services

If you have a website or blog, this section is right for you. Here you can post all kind of beauty, auto, garden, computer, financial, real estate, small business ads, travel, pet, writing and event.

Section: Community and Gigs

These two sections are called open section in Craigslist. You can post all kind of ads along with event in this section.

Repost Expired Ads Most ads are good for about 30 days after that instead of re posting another one you can just use the same expired ads! It is another clever way to save time and drive free website traffic is just by reposting. You can repost your expired ads. Just check your account and find the expired posts and repost them.

Backpage, another great platform to post your ads in! Its is very similar to craigslist! In terms, it gets quite an amount of traffic; people have experienced to get more traffic for their businesses then other free ad posting sites. It gets about 3 million hits per day.

Backpage has partnered with several newspapers. There are options to have your ad appear on newspaper websites, which can lead to higher quality traffic. You will likely get less spam and scam replies on Backpage. Most of the user base is in the USA (4 out of 5 people currently), so Backpage may not be as effective in other countries.

*Where to Place Free Ads on Backpage? Backpage has a list of almost 400 cities, as of this writing, that you can place ads in. But, only a handful of those get the most traffic. Following are the Top 20 cities to place ads in on Backpage.

Backpage Cities: The Best Ones to Place Free Ads In:

Atlanta, GA Boston, MA Chicago, IL Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX Denver, CO Houston, TX Las Vegas, NV Los Angeles, CA Miami, FL Minneapolis, MN New York City, NY Philadelphia, PA Phoenix, AZ San Diego, CA San Francisco, CA Seattle, WA St. Louis, MO Tampa, FL Toronto, ON Washington, DC

Place the same type of ads as in the ones you would post for Craigslist. You can experience with these cities and see which ones work best for you! I wish you much success!

1. Profile I’ve said this before with other social networks, and Facebook is no exception – a complete profile will help you attract more fans, more engagement and more profits. Photos are extremely important, so it’s essential to pick a beautiful cover image that represents you/your business and that also attracts attention. Make sure it also complements your profile picture for the best effect.

2. Posting Updates with links are the best way of driving traffic from social media. However, it is important to mix them up in order to keep your audience interested. Visual posts are some of the most successful on Facebook. If you have a blog, try posting your latest articles with a link back to your website in order to get more traffic. Always write a short introduction, and not just the link, and encourage people to engage with you by asking a question in the update. In order to stand out from your competition, try your best to offer great value through your blog posts and try to give titles that will attract people’s attention.

3. Facebook Groups Facebook groups can be an amazing source of traffic. Try to join as many groups as you can, but make sure that they are relevant to your niche and that people are active within the group, otherwise there is no point in wasting time to post there.

Although you can post your latest articles and links to your website in groups, it’s better to make sure you combine that with lots of engagement, so as to not appear like your posts are spam. You should also read the terms before posting in each group, as some have little tolerance for self-promotion. Make sure you also don’t post too often updates with links, as you could get your accounts suspended.

You can also start your own Facebook Group, which can be another great source of traffic. Invite everyone you know to join it, and try to make new connections in the other groups and invite them as well in order to grow your network. The benefit of having your own group is

that you can post your links more often, without the fear of getting kicked out of the group.

If you want more people clicking your links within groups, you should try to engage with the other group members regularly, just like you would do outside of groups.

6. Facebook Ads and Promoted Posts However difficult it can be to get traffic from Facebook without spending any money, with a little money to spare, Facebook ads and Promoted Posts can bring in some great results. The best part is that they are very easy to set up and they can be very cheap.

Ads are great for getting quick likes and quick traffic to your website and will reach more people, while Promoted Posts will only reach a percentage of your fans. Both of them however will help increase your traffic, if only for a limited time. I recommend using Promoted Posts whenever you have a new blog post or whitepaper or other downloads that provide lots of value.

You can literally make a 6 or 7 figure income just using Facebook alone. It’s one of the most visited sites in the world! The only downside of using Facebook is that you can waste a lot of time if you are not careful in managing your time. Best of luck!

Another great free resource that has made regular people famous! Will you be the next one?

1. Video File Optimization:

Once you have uploaded your video, save the raw file after your main keyword. For example if my video targets “Network Marketing” name your file just the same: networkmarketing.mp4 OR network-marketing.mp4

2. Description Optimization:

Take the same exact script from your video and insert a related blog post. You can also do a Google search for your keyword and then swipe the descriptions from the TOP 10 results. You will find you will end up with a keyword rich description. Make sure to remove any links and non-relevant content. Include your affiliate or website link at the very beginning of your description. It is also good practice to use a url shortener like bitly.com to hide your long affiliate url and to also track your hits on YouTube.

3. Tag Ripping:

To get your tags you need to search for your keyword on YouTube. Then open the top videos and copy the url after the first = sign. Take that to the YouTube keyword tool and under how do you want to generate keyword ideas click YouTube video ID.

4. Use Backlinks:

One of the best ways to get FREE links is to add a link of your YouTube video at the bottom of your video description. All you do is copy and paste the video url you just uploaded and add it at the bottom of your description.

5. Speak out your Keywords:

Speak out your main keyword 3-5 times in the beginning and throughout your video. Many don’t know this BUT YouTube has ways of tracking what you are saying now and therefore you can rank faster on the first page of YouTube depending on the popularity of the keyword you decide to you use if you speak them out in your video! If you haven’t applied this technique yet, try it out! Pretty cool huh? $97 value!!
