Facebook/Twitter Promotion Pages

Do you think they are effective?

They are effective to drive traffic to your website and promoting your services. Active promotions help to generate only traffic, but I think paid ads are good for promotions.

The social media promotional pages are effective as it drives the traffic for the website and increase the popularity of the website

I've never gotten any help from social media. I guess I don't really have the patience for it. I admin forums so that I can use forums, not social media, which I do not like at all. I find that if you build up a good relationship with a community like FP, people will join your site. Faceebok, etc, are too crowded to build an effective brand now adays. Forums are a much better option, I think.

I created pages on both and Twitter has over 600 followers. I had to follow a bunch of people to get noticed and then they started following me back. About half of my followers are people I have followed first.

The FB page is growing slowly. I seem to be picking up a little notice but not as quickly as Twitter. I feel like the likes are more genuine than Twitter though.

I created an ad for FB to run over the next week. I am pending approval first. I will see if I think FB ads work for me. I did get one new member today that was fresh and not someone who knew someone. I hope to get more of that.

Interesting. 🙂 Hope the social media stuff works out. Make sure to keep us posted with the results. I've used Facebook ads before, and they actually worked pretty well.

I love Facebook and will be getting more involved with Twitter here shortly. I've had a decent amount of traffic from Facebook and Google+. The trick is, to not give up and to continue to grow. :]

I have continued to gain new members. I notice a lot register and then don't post. I'm not sure why people would go through the trouble and then not post so I worry there is something turning them off after they sign up.

The ad is still running and claims to be getting about 20 new clicks on my site/day. I also gained a couple of likes to my FB page. I think at this point just letting people know a site exists is progress.
