How to increase your website traffic/sales with Social Media

If you watch ABC’s reality tv show “Shark Tank”, you have probably heard the phrase “Social Media” tossed around several times by the entrepreneurs pitching their awesome new website or product, or by Mark Cuban himself.  Social media is a big way to gain organic traffic to your website, and possibly increase sales for a product you are selling on your website.  In case you’re not sure what they’re all talking about, social media is referring to posting and interacting on popular social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, or YouTube, to name a few.

The big question is: What to post?  It should be something interesting, creative, something that others will want to “Like” or Share with their friends on the social networks, so that it will go “viral”.

Here’s an example of a YouTube video that went big across the world, and was featured on Ellen’s talk show too:

Catchy song, very unique.  It follows somewhat the keep it simple KISS idea, with all the animal says what lyrics, like you’re a little kid again.  Doesn’t hurt to act a little silly too.
