Every now and then I’ll get an e-mail from someone who is just getting started with their site. They are overwhelmed by all the social media sites, tools, etc. (Who can blame them?)
Some are even so turned off by social media, they tell me they want nothing to do with it. Others believe it can be a distraction because you can get so caught up in being “followed” or “liked” that you lose sight of the real goal.
However, they realize how popular social media is today and they see so many bloggers and website owners relying on it for promotion, traffic, exposure, etc. So they ask me if I believe it’s possible to build a solid online presence todaywithout using social media.
Well, obviously the short answer is “yes”. Look at all the people who have created a tremendous following on YouTube (For the record, I don’t consider that a social media site.) But video is not for everyone, nor is it appropriate for every kind of site.
And of course there’s SEO, but it has changed. Getting listed and ranked for competitive keywords in the search engines takes a lot longer than it used to. In addition, article marketing and directory submissions are not nearly as effective as they once were.
Of course there are other ways to promote a site (guest posting, press releases, writing exceptional/unique content etc.) But is that enough today?
What do you think? Is it smart for a new blogger or static website owner to ignore social media altogether in 2011?earn money online free .earn money online fast .earn money online surveys .earn money online from home .earn money online paypal ,earn money online for kids .earn money online fast and free,earn money online free by playing games ,earn money on youtube ,earn money on the internet .earn money on the side .earn money on the computer .earn money on the weekend ,earn money on the road ,earn money on the website .best way to earn money on the web .how to earn money on the web .what is the fastest way to earn money on webkinz .earn money on facebook ,earn money on amazon ,earn money on ebay ,earn money on iphone ,earn money on tumblr ,earning money on social security .earning money on the internet .earning money from a blog ,earning money from a blogger com .earning money without a job .earning money online without any investment , earning money online without any investment in india ,earning money for college ,earning money for college students ,earning money forum ,earning money ideas ,earning money in america ,online money earning jobs ,refer a friend earn money ,earn money friend finder .earn money by watching videos ,earn money blogging ,earn money blogging uk .arn money blogging philippines .earn money bidvertiser .earn money bing . earn money bitcoin ,make money online ,make money blogging ,make money on youtube ,make money now ,make money online free ,make money online with google .make money on the internet ,make money on the internet blog .make money on twitter ,make money quick ,freelance jobs .freelance jobs online .freelance photography ,freelance photography chicago ,freelance writing jobs ,pay per click programs .pay per click affiliate programs .pay per click affiliate programs india ,pay per click advertising ,pay per click tips ,pay per click tips tricks ,pay per click rates ,pay per click websites ,pay per click training ways to make money online without scams make money online for free make easy money online make money from home earn extra money fast kids make money online fast for free make money online fast and free make money online fast and easy earn extra money home earn free money home make money home online jobs home work online home online surveys home paid surveys home make money online from home for free online jobs paypal work from home paypal paid surveys paypal earn free money paypal online surveys paypal make money paypal free money website fast money website jobs website work from home website adsense website how do i make money on my website how to make money on internet advertising how to make money web hosting earn money webkinz earn money website earn money webcam earn money internet make money web free money web easy money web fast money web free money website fast money website jobs website work from home website adsense website how do i make money on my website make money web how to make money on internet advertising
