Social Media Tips To Get More Product Sales

September 2, 2014 by Marc Guberti 2 Comments

Social Media Funnel

Social media has become the giant hub for communication and connections to build with any group of people living in any locations in the world. People from Florida can easily interact with people in the United Kingdom with a tweet, Facebook post, pin, or some other form of a social media post. Despite how much easier it has become to interact with potential customers all over the world, few people are using social media to get more product sales, and most of those people are not promoting their products on their social networks the right way.

Social media is a bad way to get direct sales, but it is a great way to get indirect sales. You need to use social media to promote a platform that brings in more sales, but never the actual sales page. The easiest way to use social media to bring in more sales is by promoting a blog that promotes your products.

In addition to promoting a platform that will bring in more sales, you need to host giveaways of your own products. Many people use $50 Amazon Gift Card giveaways and similar types of giveaways, but in order to get more sales, the prize needs to be one of your products. That way, the people who did not win your product will have heard about it and be more likely to buy the product, especially if it is an inexpensive one.

Social media is one of the best places to grow an audience that you can interact with, know well to a certain extent, and bring in more sales. However, the only way to make money from social media is by realizing that you do not directly make money from social media. Instead, social media indirectly allows you to make money. What were your thoughts on these tips? Do you have any additional tips on using social media to bring in more product sales? Please share your thoughts and advice below.

Social Media Is Not For Making Money

Social Media International

You can try to make money on social media, but that’s not how it works. When people look for the extra dollar to put in their pocket, they give social media advertising a try. They use Sponsored Tweets, MyLikes, or something similar. Have you used any of those advertising options? Whether you have used them or not, chances are you have heard of them. I used to be just like anyone else and use these advertising services, and there was a point when I even recommended them.

However, social media is for building connections and getting people to visit your blog. It’s on your blog where you make the money, and social media is used to get more people to visit your blog. If you tweet an ad, you are losing out on a blog visitor who may have bought one of your products.

The next time you hear about Ad.ly links, sponsored posts, or anything like that, refrain from using those types of content in your social media strategy. A social media strategy that is going to bring in long-term revenue instead of the short-term revenue from advertisements is one that brings people to a blog with products available.

What are your thoughts on social media advertising? Please share your thoughts below.
