How to Get Facebook Images to Link to Your Site?

With millions of people using the Facebook social network, you can use that valuable traffic source to boost visitors to your website by using a simple picture-linking trick. Although you cannot link a Facebook photo directly with your website, you can use the caption section to display your site's URL. When a friend or fan clicks that link, they are taken immediately to the destination URL. This method works for both personal profiles and Facebook fan pages.

1. Sign in to your Facebook account, and click the "Profile" option on the top menu bar.

2. Go to the left sidebar below the profile picture, and click the "Photos" option.

3. Click the "Upload Photos" button near the top, then click "Select Photos" on the dialog box that pops up.

4. Locate and select the photo you want to upload, then click the "OK" or "Open" button.

5. Create a new album, or choose an existing one to place the picture in.

6.Click the "Add a description" link directly below the photo. Type the URL for the website or blog post you want to send visitors to. For example, you would use "http://www.onlineislamiceducation.com/" as the link, replacing the domain name with yours. Make sure you keep the "http://" at the beginning of the domain; otherwise Facebook won't know it's a clickable link.

7. Click the "Save" button, and watch how the URL you typed automatically turns into a clickable link.

1. Shortstack is a service that helps businesses design a better looking page and customize it with such things as contests, forms, videos and more. The service is free for pages that have up to 2,000 “likes.” Beyond that, a tiered pricing system kicks in.

2.Buffer is a great way to schedule your social media activity. The service lets you add posts and tweets to your “buffer” from anywhere and have them automatically distributed throughout the day. By keeping your buffer topped off with content, you can be assured of having a fresh social media presence for an entire week or more.

3.Postling was designed with small business users in mind and provides easy-to-use tools, alerts and insights that will help you get the most out of social media marketing. Postling lets you publish to all of the major social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, WordPress, Tumblr and Flickr and schedule your posts in advance.

4.TweetDeck which is owned by Twitter, is a “dashboard” from which you can manage a variety of social media. It allows you to monitor and manage unlimited accounts, schedule tweets to suit your audience and filter content to focus on what matters to you the most.

Top 10 Tips To Get More Traffic From YouTube

YouTube is one of the most popular site to upload and share your videos online. Everyday billions of users visit this site to watch videos, upload videos, share them, like them, comment on them and many more.

In fact YouTube can turn out to be a gold mine for webmasters and internet marketers, to get more traffic and get promoted. It’s a great way to get famous and rich by creating a video of yourself for 4 minutes.

1. The Basics:

Every movie director need a good camera with HD recording, Dolby surround, lights and others, to give its viewers a better picture clarity and quality. Similarly, every YouTube video maker needs a good software or cam to record its video.

If you are using on-screen video recording software, make sure you use the best one which has inbuilt editing features, records video in high quality keeping video size low and records audio which sounds clear. If you are using a cam, make sure it has good resolution and doesn’t makes your video look blured.

2. Make Viral Videos:

Create a controversial video that is most discussed on the web. Whether it a funny video or negative/positive review about a movie or a product, always create your video with the intention of adding value or knowledge to your viewers who are willing view your video.

The main goal of creating viral videos should be such that, it should be shared among with third party via Facebook, Twitter or others. For instance, the Evian Roller Babies funny video, where a group of babies are performing stunts and dancing on skates or the Dove Evolution Commercial Video where they have shown how the perception of beauty is distorted by using photo editing tools and resources. There are many other similar videos. Whatever you create, be sure try to keep your video clean without crossing the controversy limit.

3. Video Branding:

That’s an important step if you want your viewers to become your readers. Always put your website name or URL in between the video by using annotation feature in the video editor.

For instance, I have created wallpaper, with my website logo on a black background. Every time when I record on-screen video, I just switch to this wallpaper. You can also include watermarks of the URL in the video too. There are many other ways. Your main aim should be to direct your visitors to your site/blog.

4. HOW TO Videos:

Did you know that problems are solved more easily, if the solutions are available visually? Yeah, that’s right!!! Problems can be solved more conveniently and easily if the solution is available in video format. Currently, YouTube hosts more than 1,700,000 “How-To” videos and the figure just keeps on increasing daily.
From “HOW TO Annoy People” to “HOW TO JailBreak an iPhone” I bet, you can get solutions to almost any type of problem you face. So you should use this fact wisely and solve your readers problems by answering them visually. The chances of getting traffic gradually increase to 60%.

5. YouTube SEO:

Yup, there’s SEO for YouTube videos too. The video content totally depends on what and how you create your video. But the main thing with the video are the keywords you use in the Title and the Description you add. The Title factor also implies for YouTube videos too, because your videos are also crawled by search engines depending on the keywords used in the title and YouTube videos are the favorite one for search engine spiders. The more popular keyword, the more popular your videos will be and the more traffic you will earn for your blog. Also remember, that the description character limit is set to 21, so use this space wisely because after the 21st char your description will be truncated to three dots…

6. Promote:

This strategy works best, to get your video popular, if its done timely. Even a movie producer promotes his film trailer online before it get releases at the box office, so it does makes a huge hit. Similarly you can too promote your videos through social networking sites by sharing, tweeting, bookmarking and stumbling. You can also add a widget on your blog, that shows random videos from your channel. There are many ways to spread and share your videos online. The more you share, the more views you get.

7. Tags:

You might have seen on YouTube, that at the end of the videos you see a list of related videos. These videos are selected from bunch of tags, that are more relevant to the video category. So its important to always add tags to your videos. Try to add atleast 6 tags which are more related to the video. The more relevant tags you add, the more your videos will show up in related videos list.

8. Video Responses:

Search for popular videos on YouTube and add a video response from your videos list. Make sure you search for related videos which you want to add response. This will increase your chances of getting your video response approved by the author quickly. This will get more exposure to your videos. This technique alone can bring you thousands of visitors to your site.

9. Series:

Create a series of ongoing videos or stories and leave a call back action like “Don’t forget to check out another interesting video of the series, where [a short description about the next video]“. In this way, users will stay subscribed and hooked to your channel to learn more. In this way you can also increase your channel subscribers.

10. Others:

• Make sure you make your videos attractive, because there are 4 random thumbnails that are picked from between the video. Unfortunately, you don’t have an option to choose other thumbnail except from those 4 thumbnails.
• YouTube has an interesting feature to check analytics for each an every video. Do check out the analytics for each video by clicking on the Insight button.
• Add a YouTube subscription widget to your blog/site.
• Have a customized template for your channel.
Create as many as videos possible and implement all the above 10 tips in all your videos consistently. This will surely, beef up visitors to your site. If you’re out of ideas, than select an article turn it into a video.

After the last Google update, the one type of content that remains unaffected are VIDEOS. And there is no video website other than Google’s own Youtube. com

How to Spend Only 10 Minutes Each Day on Twitter?

The No. 1 complaint from businesses new to social media is: “I just don’t have time.” What these people don’t realize is that social media doesn’t always require a huge commitment, especially Twitter.

As Facebook constantly changes its algorithm and increases preference for promoted posts and ads, turn to Twitter for free and effective small business social networking. Your plan of attack involves two main tools: Hootsuite and Twitter Lists.

Once you’ve mastered this setup, your daily Twitter routine will go through down to 10 minutes in no time.

1. Set up your Hootsuite account.

Hootsuite is a free social media dashboard. There are others available, but this one is my favorite. Once you’ve linked your Twitter to Hootsuite, you can add streams, social networks (which we’ll ignore now) and tabs. Add these streams to your first tab: Scheduled Tweets, Sent Tweets, Mentions, Direct Messages and My Tweets, Retweeted. Simply click “Add Stream” and follow the prompts.

2: Create Twitter Lists.

Jump over to Twitter.com and navigate to your settings (the gear symbol in the upper-right corner). Click Lists > Create list. From here, curate public and private lists to organize the type of content you want to see by topic, user, hashtag, etc. Organize your lists by theme, and choose specific Twitter users to fill each one.

Be sure to create one secret “Important Connections” list that will hold all the smart people you wish to network with on a daily basis. Other list ideas include “Clients,” “Super Fans,” “Industry Leaders,” “Favorite Blogs,” “Social Media Superstars,” “Chefs I love” and the like. Get specific here.

3: Add your Twitter Lists to Hootsuite.

Create a new tab on your Hootsuite dashboard by clicking the black plus sign. Label it “Important.” This tab will be your second stop in your new Twitter routine. In this tab, click “Add Stream,” then “Lists.” From your lists, choose a few of your most pressing streams, including your “Important Connections” feed. Create a few new tabs and organize your remaining Twitter lists by topic. Four streams fit in each tab comfortably, but you can add up to 10.

4: Add Hashtag streams to Hootsuite.

Create a new tab called “Hashtags” and fill it with at least four important hashtags you follow. Don’t forget about industry tweetups that would be good for you to keep an eye on. If you’re a writer, follow the amwriting hashtag. If you’re a fashion blogger, follow stylechat, which is an industry tweetup. Under “Add a stream,” search for the hashtag that is relevant to your business or your brand, and create a stream. If you’d like, add relevant hashtag streams to your your themed tabs, as well.

5: Begin your 10-minute per day routine.

Log in to Hootsuite and check your first tab, which includes any mentions or tweets you’ve received. Respond to these first. Now check your “Important” tab. Like, respond to, or retweet anything that interests you from your important connections or your brand’s super fans. Now check your hashtag tab. Is there anything interesting going on in your industry? Use that inspiration to write up a few new posts. Use Hootsuite’s “auto-schedule” feature, which optimizes your posts to publish at the next high-traffic time. They’ll appear in your “Scheduled Tweets” stream on your first tab.

If you have time left over, browse your other streams for fun. The more you practice this routine, the faster you’ll get. If you use relevant hashtags, tweet interesting content, respond to tweets and retweet others, you’ll gain a following with only 10 minutes per day in no time.
