Several comments in this thread point to three linked problems: turning social attention into measurable site traffic and sales (, ), the constant time/consistency drain (, ), and uncertainty about what actually builds a community instead of noise (, ). Treating these separately wastes effort — a tighter, measurable approach fixes all three together.

A compact, practical framework: pick one micro‑audience, pick one conversion goal (email sign‑ups or a low‑friction offer), and create 2–3 content pillars that feed that goal. Steps: define the single audience + value proposition; create one lead magnet that directly solves a small problem for that audience; put a focused social post → landing page → email capture mini‑funnel in front of it. Use tracking so results are clear (example UTM pattern: https://example.com/lead?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=campaign1).

Solve the time problem by batching and repurposing. Produce one longer asset per week (long post, video, or guide) and slice it into multiple short posts; keep a 4–6 week editorial skeleton and a small library of evergreen posts to rotate. Reserve two short engagement blocks per day rather than continuous monitoring, and create short reply templates for common questions so community replies don’t become a time sink.

Practical, quick experiments that often move the needle within 30 days:

  • A/B test two CTAs on the landing page while driving the same post traffic.
  • Repurpose a top blog post into a short native video and measure referral lift.
  • Boost the single best organic post with a small spend to validate conversion rate before scaling.

Quick troubleshooting checklist: profiles link to the same funnel, use UTMs, landing page loads fast on mobile, single clear CTA, email capture is one step, and instrument basic analytics so every social visit can be evaluated.

The problem is that I still can't get more visitors from social media.

If you find a ratio between goods and bads, you'll get big negative number. But of course they must not be ignored.

For me, it's the time. When you are not up for a while, you're no where in the graph. So, to make sure your users/fans stay connected, you have to stay alive.

If Justin Bieber won't post a status for sometime, sure thing is the social world would have already pronounced him dead.

For me it is about how to build up a community of fans for my products. How do I build an online community and then get leads to my website from the online community. At the end of the day, I would like more sales...

Hi elitebag: I just checked out your website, but I didn't see any social media icons. which social networking channels do you use? It will help to add the social media icons to your website. If you have a Facebook page or Twitter, may I have the link? That way I can help you a little better in terms of getting more traffic to your site from your social media efforts.

Hi fakesoul: I just read this article that gave some really good tips on how to save time with social media marketing. Here it is:

Hi kat101: Remember, when it comes to building an online community around your brand, provide content that your target audience finds valuable. People don't join a Facebook Page so that they can receive sales messages all day long, so do not use it solely to push your sales messages onto the community. For example, if you have a webshop that sells golf clubs, then a possible way to engage your audience is to create content that helps with their golf game. Provide tips and tricks to help improve their golf game, this way your golf webshop will position itself as an authority as well as a helpful entity, which gains you trust. Think about what kinds of conversations you want to have with your community and start engaging. At the end of the day, people tend to buy things from people they trust.
