How To Run a Successful Social Promotion

Social promotions represent a huge opportunity for local publishers, both as a source of revenue but also as a tool that will help you grow your audience. This week's training will walk you through all the necessary things you need to do to run a successful social promotion on your website. Check out the training below to learn more and take you through the process step-by-step.

Each contest should include a banner ad and site modal on your site promoting the contest, a contest page with email opt-in and share buttons, and boosted posts on Facebook which allows you to guarantee reach/drive entries.
