Social Media Presence
72. We don't have to mention this step anymore. However, some of you might need a beating on the head. Just kidding. We are talking about enhancing your social media presence.
How to this? Of course, it is by appearing on all social media platforms.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, you name it. You have to be there, always!
73. Social media now includes mobile apps. If you have the capacity to invest, then you should start to develop a mobile app to your site. Of course, this should be an app that could help your users. Some webmasters think that a mobile app is just another version of their site. That's a big no! Instead, it should be an assistive extension that enhances the user's experience to your site!
74. Do the
"like" marketing. Have you encountered social media pages that say
"like and share this article for a chance to win (insert product here)?" This strategy works! And if you will take it seriously, this could drive insane traffic to your site!
75. If you do this competition, make sure you post the result! The proof alone will drive traffic to your site. Also, update them on the next contest, too, with all the future details linking to your website!

"business" social media account to follow industries and individuals related to your niche.
