Current status of the Ning Platform is always available on the Ning Status Blog.

I just wanted to give a quick update of how well Facebook marketing has been working for my site.

I am not paying for traffic. The traffic i get is from my Facebook profiles and fan pages.

My website is heavily photo based. So every day I post a few photos to my pages on  facebook.

Yesterday just 4 posts on facebook have generated almost 500 visitors.

I am creating a program to post hourly and I expect this will generate 1500-2000 additional visitors per day.

  • that's incredible, Brian, i'm going to like that page.....what's fantastic about your site is, you have cake bakers following oyur page, and they get those small pics on their facebook pages, and they cant HELP but look at a bigger picture! pretty darn genius stuff ya got going there, man
    • Yeah its the perfect storm. Members post photos to the site. I post them to facebook which in tern drives in more traffic and more members.

      To be transparent I have almost 25,000 friends and likers on facebook between all my accounts.

      This took 6-9 months of work. But now I am gaining around 100 or so friends and likers per day without having to do anything but post new photos.

      Based on the growth I am seeing I expect facebook to generate up to 5000 visitors per day in the next 6 months. Providing the auto post program is working properly.

       

      • I use RSS Graffiti and it works well.......if you get over zealous setting it up, will work TOO well!
        • its awsome  SR.

          you set it on defualt or u did some seting bcz it not update my status according.

          I insert Blog feed and latest activity for now..

  • You have a great website, Brian.  I love the muted browns and the overall feel.  

     

    But you are right on about Facebook.  We have a Facebook page for our site and it generates great traffic.

    • Thank you
  • My one warning: if you post hourly to your fan page, people that have "liked" your fan page will start to get spammed to all heck on their walls.

     

    I recommend four times a day. But that's just my opinion.

  • Great idea! 

    I have an outdoor yoga photo contest goin on and trying to figure out how best to do this.  So - 3 questions:

    1) Is there a quick (easy) way to post a photo to my FB page - or do I have to drop the photo someplace onto my computer in order to do that?  Or is it really as manual of a process as it seems?

    2) Do you recommend using ALBUMS - or just doing singular photos?

    3) I have an automatic feed onto my FB page for all activity.  (Though it doesn't seem to grab everything or takes a lot of time.)  Anyway - do you recommend doing this - or is that spam and I should find another way?

     

    (Merging FB and Ning is new for me...)

    Thanks!

     

    • @ soleil

      I typically just post the url of the picture to the facebook activity box.

      You will have to add the photos you want to share this way on your ning community

       

  • Hi Brian,

    I like the pop-up sign-up box....would you mind sharing the code for this? Thanks!

    Kent
