Social Media.

I currently concentrate on Twitter as social media platform. It is the third highest source of traffic for my blog next to organic search results and traffic from Google. Here are some details:

Twitter count.

The followers on my Twitter account are 90% targeted followers according to the niches we produce content on.

Content Marketing

• My Twitter account receives reminders of random old posts. Which means if you advertise in the sidebar or the top banner, you will receive exposure from them as well. It also means that if you purchase a review of your product, service, site or blog, you will have promotion on my Twitter account for as long as the blog exists.

• Every post that’s posted gets promoted on the day for 24 hours from time of post.

As you may see me and my team write good quality articles, a lot of these post positions are because of networking and collaborating with key bloggers in the blogosphere. We don’t just offer our expertise, influence and impact, but also all those standing beside me and working with me. [Please note that these do not include spambots or robot visitors - they are not counted by my host]

Influence and promotion.

My influence grows everyday. This is because of a lot of guest posting that I do. For more information on the blogs I guest post at feel free to visit my About page (expanding this blogs reach and influence – ads not for sales through this page).

Here is a quote on the Klout Website of my social media influence that is impacted by this blog alone:

Ivin Viljoen may not be a celebrity, but within his area of expertise his opinion is second to none. His content is likely focused around a specific topic or industry with a focused, highly-engaged audience.

Forum

We have introduced a forum encouraging discussions around the niches and industries we focus on. It’s been growing slowly and I don’t believe stats are available just yet. What is great is that it is a link friendly forum, as long as users stay within the topics provided. There’s still a lot of work to be done and there’s no full time moderator so the cost of advertising through forum posts is minimal.

Cost of advertising.

Now that I’ve put enough honey around your mouth. Let me get to the costs of advertising on the different platforms on Authopublisher.
