Introduction
Funny thing, I used to be a writer. I find writing tedious now, ironically. So, thisguide will be short and sweet. Everything here was written originally for myemployees, although I have added bits and fleshed things out so it makes senseto people new to this kind of web site promotion.Some of the sites I talk about you will have heard of before, or perhaps evenpurchased a special report telling you the “secrets” of using it.While I'm certain you'll find some new sites in this list, it is not, nor is it intendedto be, a comprehensive listing of every social media site out there. “Social Media Daily” also contains methods that are not pure “social media,” butrather traditional search engine optimization techniques, such as articlesubmission. This is because this is
my personal marketing checklist
and I douse traditional traffic generation methods as well. I would never suggest youignore traditional traffic generation and search engine optimization in favor of social media entirely, or vice versa, and this guide reflects that.I am publishing this because while many people talk about Web 2 promotion onparticular sites, no one has put out a step-by-step guide telling people exactlyhow to promote with social media – what sites to go to, what to do on them, andin what order.I will say this – social media can bring you an absolute torrent of traffic. The keyis familiarizing yourself with the websites you're working with and then cateringyour message to them.I.E. The “tone” you adopt at Craigslist may be very different that what you say atSquidoo.Always keep your audience in mind. Remember that Social Media is aboutbeing... duh... social. No one goes to YouTube to hear a sales pitch (except,maybe, us crazy internet marketers). So don't be sales-y. The folks who usesocial media are generally very hip to advertising and can smell a marketer a mileaway. So don't be a schmuck, it won't work to your advantage.
Produce excellent content, apply the Checklist and the traffic will follow.

Michelle, Wow! What a fantastic resource! Stripped-down, to-the-point, and all really clear advice and guidance. VERY helpful! Thanks for creating it and sharing it so freely with the online community. I'm looking forward to whatever else you come up with in the future.

Michelle, This blue print for your Social Media Marketing Plan is amazing! I can't emphasize enough how comprehensive it is. It has taken me over 6 months to gather about 25% of the information you have provided here in your Social Media Daily! I have been trying to implement a Social Medial Marketing Plan as I go while helping a good friend of mine promote her new website. I would say I have more than limited experience, but having a comprehensive, step by step guide is going to be invaluable. I can’t thank you enough for putting this together. You are right on target seeing the lacking of a step-by-step guide outlining how to promote with social – what sites to go to, what to do with then, and in what order. Thank you again for sharing this! Sarah Keegan Columbus, Ohio
