Social media training–what is it and why should you care?

Social media sites are great places to get free traffic that already has a relationship with you.  You interact with your customers, gain your reader’s trust and then you can direct them back to your site.

Social media sites are social.  Blogs, comments, forums, wikis–all of these are ways for people to interact online.  When you use these tools in your business, you interact with your viewer.  Once they blog with you, they already feel like they know you.

Leads that come from social media sites are fantastic leads that want what you offer–in fact, they followed you from the social media site to your site.  They have already made a commitment to you.

And leads like this mean that you can grow your business easily.  Your leads will request your help.

The best training for social media, bar none, is found at Renegade Professional.

Qualities of Good Social Media Training?

• Social media is a broad array of sites–any site where people interact and add their own content.  YouTube, Squidoo, HubPages are just a few examples.  All of these sites allow people to post comments and respond to each other.  Other types of social media include blogs and forums.  The best social media training addresses all of these sites.
• Good training in social media teaches how to use all these sites.  How do you set up a YouTube channel?  What settings are best for a Squidoo lens?  When you teach yourself, each site poses a huge learning curve.
• The very best social media training teaches not only how to use the social media sites, but also how these sites fit in with your entire sales funnel.  Once you make a YouTube video, what do you do with it?  What are Facebook pages and how can you use them for your business?  How do you turn an online discussion into buying customers?

Renegade Professional is unique in that it gives not only the basic click by click details of using social media marketing, but also it gives a broad perspective of building a business plan.  This training gives you the tools and the understanding of when and how to use them.

So How Do you Get all That Free Traffic Anyway?

Free Web Traffic?  Ya, sure.

If you have been writing for internet for any amount of time, you hear how by properly writing your content, the search engines magnanimously send you lots of free traffic.  And often you write and you write and you write, but you still have not seen any of that miraculous traffic.

Writing for the internet is different than 8th grade English class writing.  As a writer, I’ve had to unlearn many habits, learn new ones, and accustom myself to writing in a style which feels, well…  not writerly.

You can get free traffic through properly written internet content but you must learn how to write properly for the internet.

I have just written a hub page with some step by step instructions for the basics of internet writing:  A Step by Step Guide to Free, Targeted Web Traffic.

Writing internet content to get free web traffic is not hard but until you unlock the secrets, it can seem impossible.  That’s why I highly recommend a membership at Renegade Professional.

At Renegade Professional, you will get in-depth, click by click training on all aspects of internet writing–and many other ways to get free internet traffic as well.

Some of the videos you’ll find:

• Writing with Pull–how to write so that your readers think you’re talking to them.
• Keyword Research
• How to write a title
• How to construct an article
• Content sharing
• Article marketing
• Bookmarking (what to do once you’ve written that content)
• And much, much more…

Renegade Professional covers not only content creation, but many other techniques used to build your online videos.  It has dozens and dozens of videos (I think you could spend weeks full time just trying to listen to them all).

If every time someone asks you, “So how’s your website going?” you’re embarrassed to reply, now is the time to improve your business skills.  Get your membership to Renegade Professional today.

PS. Here’s a tip I’ll share with you:  if you’re not quite ready to jump into Renegade Professional, there is a free “sister” site which has lots (and I mean lots) of information about Attraction Marketing and building your online business.  Renegade University is free, and uses more articles than videos.  It has the same, beefy content, but doesn’t quite have the same breadth.  If you need more free traffic and can’t figure out how to get it, give Renegade University a try.
