Can You Use Social Media To Gain Website Traffic Without Pissing A Bunch Of People Off?

Have you taken the challenge of trying to use social media to sell a product or promote a business? If so you can probably relate to me when I say it is not as easy as online marketers make it out to be and you probably got a series of ugly tweets or messages from your social media com padres, upset that you where trying to use social media to make a buck.

I recently tried to promote an offer to my Social Media networks and the response was awful. Not only did I not sell a thing but I got so many nasty messages back that it was ridiculous. So Much for trying to make a little extra money on the side.

If you are apart of a social network and you are not trying to make money or gain traffic to your business or website then I think you are wasting precious time that you could be using else where to change you life and build your future.

Honestly if you don’t make money from social networking why do it? Is it not the point of networking to increase business whether it is from one contact or a contact of that contact….. hopefully that was not to confusing.

I gave up using any social media networks after the terrible experience trying to promote my real estate website and drive a little traffic to it with my social media network contacts. Honestly I was a little embarrassed to continue to try to use something that worked so poorly at first.

I was using twitter and facebook to try and gain traffic to my website because I read that you could build a huge buyers list by using social media. It did not work for me like I planned.

I had basically totally given up trying to use social media for traffic generation to my website until I came across a report that was called something like how not to piss everyone in your social network off and still make money by Ryan Deiss and Perry Belcher. After reading the free report I realized I made some huge mistakes on my first attempt.

You can see the links on this article to find where to go and get your own copy of the social media report which is very good and I think will change the way I do business for sure. I know that I am rethinking some of my strategies right now because of this report.

I don’t want to get in trouble for copying Perry Belcher’s info and acting like it is mine so instead of stealing his info which is part of his new course called the Social Media Money System just go take a look for yourself. The Report is free and worth the time to down load it and read it.

At the very least it has given me a new view of Social Media and I am in the process of trying again to get some traffic from Social media networks that I am involved in and hopefully this time it will work.
