If you started a blog in order to make a lot of money from it, you are aware that without people coming to your blog, you will not make any money. You could possibly be one of those people who keep trying out new things to get extra traffic to your blog. The difficulty is people are always looking for the new tricks and techniques and forget about what has been doing the job for years. This is why I decided to go over how important it is to just add a “share this” button on each one of your blog posts. I will also explain to you how this button may end up taking your blog from practically nothing to getting steady traffic daily.
For people who are not aware a “share this” button is a way for your visitors to share a message you created with other people. I am certain somewhere along the line you have been on a blog and you noticed a bookmarking button. You can find these on so many blogs because it could be used to create a tidal wave of targeted traffic.
Many of these buttons which are available are not limited to only one social bookmarking site, but have the power to allow people to share this on many social networks at once. If you genuinely want to see how effective this little button can be don’t limit the web sites that your visitors can post to. So that you can get the most out of buttons like this find one that permits people to add the comment to many different sites. Or a minimum of give them the ability to choose between online websites. While a few people may be on facebook, other may just be on twitter and still others may simply have a my_space account, in short don’t skimp on posting options.
If your blog is on a wordpress platform, you have multiple choices of plugins that you can use. Once more when looking for these plugins and “share this” buttons, choose the ones that allow multiple social site submissions. In the long run you want a plugin that includes almost all social networking sites.
Here I am going to provide you with an example of exactly what could happen when you have this button set up. Let’s assume you have basically one visitor to your site on a certain day and they liked the post so they chose to share the post with each of their friends on facebook. All they had to do was use the button you installed and now 50 more people have knowledge of your post. If only just 8 of those people went to your blog and really liked your post you just gained 8 more visitors. Not to mention if just 3 of them share your post on several other social sites by using your “share this” button, you now have other people endorsing your post. And by those 3 people sharing, this post might now be suggested to another 150 people. And then 20 of those people who just found the message decided to stop by and read what you had to say and then 50 percent of them decided to share with different friends and family members that they think will enjoy the article. Keep doing the math if you desire, but one good post along with a “share this” button can truly turn in to a load of site traffic.
By simply adding a small little plugin like this you can easily start getting a lot more targeted traffic. And you may already know, the more traffic you end up getting the more money you will generate.
