Proof that Social Networking Really Works

As most of you know, I use Google Analytics to monitor my traffic source, keywords, ROI, etc. If you would like to learn how to use it, send me a note or an email and I will be more than happy to help. But basically, when you sign up for an account, they give you a snippet of code that you paste in your HTML code which tracks all the information you need.

I was looking at my sales for the month of October and wanted to share my results:
  • 9 Facebook sales : I update Facebook with daily sales & events
  • 12 StumbleUpon sales: I add new blog and articles
  • 6 Twitter sales: I update my status with the same stuff as Facebook (automatically)
  • 12 sales from press releases:I submit a press release 3-4 times a year
  • 10 sales from articles I wrote in ezinarticles : I submit an article at least once a month
I know in the scheme of things, 49 sales in one month is not alot, but I didn't really do that much work - imagine if I focused more time on it. So, I just wanted to give you an idea on how with a little extra work - Social Networking can really help bring in more sales. And here's a hint - I don't always write my own press releases and articles - I have an amazing writer that does it for me if I don't have the time.

Now rest assured, I had more than just 49 sales this month - but I wanted to show you some real live examples of how Social Networking can really work :)
