MKTG 345 Gaining Traffic for Analytics week 10

In order to use Google Analytics to track website data, there must be some traffic so there is something to analyze. How can you get traffic, if it a new website and no one knows you started it? You must share it! You should share it on any social media platform, and encourage people to share it for you as well.

I personally share my posts on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Where you share your website may vary and that is okay, as long as where you are sharing it is a place people will see it and potentially share it as well.

It's very easy to share on all of these sites. All you need to do is copy the link then write a post and paste the link, then hit the share button.

On LinkedIn the box looks like this:

The LinkedIn post looks like this. Then you hit the "Post" button and your blog is shared. 

The next place I went to share was Facebook. I have a digital marketing Facebook page so the box I share with looks like this: 

 Then you simply write the post, paste the link, and "Publish" to your feed.

 The next place I went to share was Twitter. This is what sharing on twitter looks like, you simply put your post and link...

Then you press Tweet. 

There are more places you can share your website information, and you can only share on one platform if that is all you have so far. It takes time to gain a following, but you can also add in your post something along the lines of, "I'm trying to gain traffic and learn about analytics please click on the link and share my post." it's a simple way to let people know that you would like their help, and that you have a goal so sharing your post is beneficial.
