Sharesly - New Social Media Conversion Tool

by Waqar Hassan Blogger, Author and Entrepreneur

Let’s get right down to it. Conversions are the most important thing for online marketers. All the PageRank, traffic, followers, mentions, and Likes in the world don’t mean a single thing if you don’t have conversions. Well, I’m here to share a new tool with you that can help get you more signups, sales, customers, members, subscribers...whatever it is that you’re looking for.

Sharesly (powered by DoSocial - a social media management service) is a new social media conversion tool that quite honestly kicks ass.

Here’s how it works:

Choose an Engaging Web Page

You first select a piece of content, such as one of your own blog posts, or maybe an article that an industry expert wrote that already has a lot of social “love” (Likes, Tweets, Pins, etc).

Add a Sharesly Page

You then log into DoSocial and click the “Sharesly Pages” menu item on the left. The form that appears is pretty self-explanatory but I’ll explain all the fields for you anyways.

Page Title

This appears on the browser tab, so make sure it matches the content of the URL you’re displaying.

URL to Display

Which URL do you want to share with the world? Enter it here.

Popover Text

The text inside the popover box that should help convince the viewer to click the Button beside it.

Popover Button Text

Your Call-To-Action text inside the button. Make it stand out!

Button URL

Which URL do you want to drive traffic to? Typically this is your sales page or squeeze page or maybe just a kickass blog post you wrote. Enter it here.

Grab the Shortened Link

Go to “Sharesly Pages” and copy the “Shortened URL” for your newly-created Sharesly. It should be in the format http://shares.ly/%.

Share The Link

Now you need to share this link everywhere you can. Post it on Facebook, Tweet it, Pin it, email it to your list, text it to your grandmother. The more traffic you can get to this page, the more people will click the call-to-action button, and the more traffic will end up at your desired destination.
