testDarren Rowse (ProBlogger.net) has become a convert to social media marketing and branding in recent months. He started by being a regular user of the social sites (which I recommend to everyone I train who is just starting out with social marketing). Then he noticed more and more people coming to his sites from his links on the social sites.
Using social media sites just like everyone else does (the way they were intended to be used by their creators) really pulls in good links and traffic. Thinking selfishly about how you can blast your links all over the place and self-promote without giving anything back to the communities you belong to will get you into trouble and get you zero results.
What I like about Darren’s latest post on the topic is that he’s teaching his readers to do it the right way. Check out his video “4 Social Media Marketing Tips for Bloggers” below.
