Idea for LeadMagnet • Real Estate and Divorce Attorneys • Writing up a LeadMagnet that addresses the stresses of divorce, separation, etc. at the end of the LeadMagnet you give your information and about 5 resources they can use to ‘get over it’ easily… • Use your imagination • Create your value added proposition • Make sure to have a call to action at the end

14. Socially Smashing, Inc. Strategy #3 Repurpose • TIP: To drive more traffic to any specific Facebook Page post, • take the permalink (unique URL) which is the timestamp, • shorten with goo.gl or bit.ly, (*there are more in “resources”) • and send it out as a tweet on Twitter • inviting your followers to join the discussion regarding whatever topic you've posted about making the CTA (Call To Action) compelling enough for them to “click” • Use Hootsuite and Socialoomph to schedule an automatic post!

15. Strategy #4 What Gets Their Attention? When you post, ask yourself, “would I share this?” If you don’t like posting, then find someone who you can train to do this for you. The goal is to get people to share, like, and comment on your posts by creating a common ground that’s SAFE for them.
