<p>Just wanted to post another traffic tip.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This time I used Twitter.com.</p>
<p>To get traffic from twitter all you need to do is create a profile for your network.</p>
<p>Once created find other twitter members who are into whatever your network is about.</p>
<p>For instance, my network is a cake decorating community.</p>
<p>I started by finding all the cake decorating supply stores with a twitter account.</p>
<p>Simply click on the followers of that account and follow them.</p>
<p>About 20% of the people I follow will follow me back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now all you have to do is click on the Twitter button below pictures or videos and you will tweet.</p>
<p>Its that simple.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With just a few hundred followers I am already getting 5 members from twitter a day.</p>
<p>I am also getting around 100 visits from twitter each day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Imagine what it will be like when I have thousands of followers</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Let me know how it works for you.</p>
<p> </p>
</div>A very awesome way to greet you membershttps://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/a-very-awesome-way-to-greet2011-04-04T20:34:06.000Z2011-04-04T20:34:06.000Zsolohttps://creators.ning.com/members/solo<div><p>Hello creators here a great way to greet new arriving members..first of all this tip is not mine,i give full credit to jen from jensocial.com..so first you need to grab her code "add a simple text box to profile pages"...<a href="http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/add-simple-text-box-to-profile?id=4244211:Topic:279331&page=2">http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/add-simple-text-box-to-profile?id=4244211:Topic:279331&page=2</a></p>
<p>now this is just some more ideas that you can do with this super awesome tip.</p>
<p>i have taken the code and added html code for images of my moderators and of i of course,hyperlinked the photos and placed a nice statement letting the new member know who we are and click on our photo to add us as a friend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Now also you can embed the music player in the code,so if you are a pod caster ,they can listen to music or what ever you streaming to the player.</p>
<p>the music player has a share on it,click that take the embedding code and add it to jens code and whoola now you have a music player on every members page.</p>

<p><strong>have anymore great idea for this tip please share thanks for stopping by</strong></p></div>Getting people to join a new networkhttps://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/getting-people-to-join-a-new2009-11-23T13:39:08.000Z2009-11-23T13:39:08.000ZKate Lennonhttps://creators.ning.com/members/KateLennon<div><p>I wonder if anyone here has come up with an effective way to get people to join a completely new network. Nobody wants to join a network that has only a handful of members - but every network has to have 5 members before it can have 500 or 5,000. I have found getting the first hundred or so members to be very difficult. Is there any quick way to populate a new network?Also, can anyone suggest any strategies to get members to interact with each other, especially on a new network which still only has a couple of hundred members?Cheers.</p>
