    Hi guys,

    I am going to launch an eCommerce site shortly. I need to know the best marketing strategies for my website using Social Media.

    I need to get more traffic to my eCommerce website. I want to know whether social media is the only way to achieve this or is there any other way?

    Thanks

    Social Marketing not only brings traffic. It can help to create a social community as well. If it's done properly, it can go viral and spread your brand name as well.

    capitalmind is right. Get where potential buyers are. For example : on pinterest fashion and health products works well because it is mostly visited by womens.

    Google your keywords.

    Find the sites that are similar to yours, contact them about link exchanges, or try leaving a comment or two on there sites. DO NOT SPAM though.. you don't want to get off to bad start reputation wise.

    Build back links by doing this.

    Build your profile on Social media by updating your status / tweeting etc on each point as you go along. Keep followers and friends updated with things as they go along, without forcing the goods / services down there throats.

    Use Forums etc also. Ask questions to get feedback, and provide answers to questions also, look to get some link exchanges too. Get a link in your signature.

    Make sure you have Google Analytics on your site too, its SOOO important to understand where your traffic is coming from, so you know what process is working and what isnt.

    Keep a track of what you do each day, use a planner like this

    All these things take time, do it properly, be patient and you will see the results.

    Happy to help you out with some more advice if you want. Drop me a PM

    Ecommerce sites are all the time hard to work and these sites have a lot of competition and I individually recommend you if you want to start this business you should work very hard to be successful in this business.

    Using social media to build your list is powerful. Just offer something for free in exchange for their email address and then you can email your specials and sales directly to those people.

    It is important for eCommerce businesses to stay active on social networks and social media sharing sites. Social networks are becoming increasingly commercialized nowadays and so they can be used most effectively today by eCommerce businesses to sell their products/services.
