Today, 94% of consumers and businesses search the Internet before buying a new product or service. They submit their keywords for search and get a list of relevant websites in return. People tend to visit websites that are at the top of these lists, because they appear to be more relevant to their search. Most find their competitors at the top of the list.

SEO helps clients to build stronger web presence and allows potential visitors to more easily find their websites and services on the web. Through following web presence best practices and providing high-quality, well-structured and organised content, it aims to improve page rankings, so when potential customers search for certain keywords and phrases in a search engine, the website appears early in search results. Achieving this goal requires ongoing monitoring, analysis and optimisation activities and doing many separate, but related activities and updates.

When you think about SEO what comes to mind, keywords? Rankings? Link building?
SEO is changed a lot in recent years so to understand how; we need to step back in time to when the Internet was still new.

So step 5 is to continue to promote your content on autopilot because again, people probably have to see it a few times before they’re going to read it. And the nature of social media is that you always have new people coming thru the door.

So step 4 is to update your social media site status. And just a little FYI, I have seen a good amount of questions come in. And I’m kind of rolling thru this on purpose that I’ll have plenty of time to answer questions. So definitely get your questions ready and stay tuned for that at the end. I am leaving a good amount of time to answer everybody’s questions. So, step 4 is updating your social media sites status. That’s when you’re going thru all the social media websites that you use and linking back to page one so that people can see your content.

Now, as far as setting up all those emails, you definitely want to use a provider that does that automatically to make sure that you’re complying with the spam laws. You just don’t want to have people email you and you respond to them. It’s going to be messy and you’re not going to be complying with spam. So I like to use a service called AWeber. That’s a really good one. I think it’s good to start out with that one because when you want more advanced functionality later, it has it all built in.

So, now let’s get in to the five steps of selling with social media. Step 1 is to create a free sample or special gift. OK. Here’s what’s kind of tricky that we’re doing today. We’re really selling just by giving away great free content because something that’s unique about social media, you can’t just like stick a link up to your sales page. You cannot stick a link up to the product page on your e-commerce site and just say, “Buy this”. I actually get those pitches sometimes on Twitter where maybe I’ll ask about a resource for something else.

So first, let's dive in to number one, attracting customers. This is where we're going to spend the least amount of time in this article because again this is a whole another topic that I have a lot of resources about, different ways to get people into your funnel. For today's sake, we're assuming that you already have some audience. Again, it doesn’t need to be a huge audience, but there are lots of activities that you're doing to attract these customers, to put your name in front of them, to bring them into your world in the first place.
