Dollarphotoclub_55957589This is cool.

I just read an article on Marketing Prof's about a technique that will make it easier for you to get more likes, shares and maybe even some more music and merch sales.

To explain, I am going to reference physics (please note that I am really not this smart but this is what came to mind when reading this article).

Anyway, if you've ever had a basic physics class, you might remember something about Newtons First Law that says that objects in motion tend to stay in motion, the same is true for consumers online as well.

Once you get someone to take an action, you have a nearly 100% chance to get them to take another action immediately following that action.

For instance if you have a mailing list and you get someone to sign up, there is a very good chance (nearly 100%) that you can get them to do something else immediately following the sign up. Something like, “Like” you on Facebook or Subscribe to your YouTube channel or share your music with 3 friends. The list is endless.

Hell, if you really wanted to go for it, you could offer an album or piece of merch for a special price that they can only get if they take action right now.

I think you get the picture (if not hit me up in the comments or shoot me an email).

Implementing this shouldn't be pretty simple if you are using a quality email service. The two email services that I use – Mailchimp and GetResponse (Free Trial for You – Kick Back For Me) – make it very easy.

You would just need to insert your message and a link (or code) into a “Thank You” or “Confirmation” page or message.

Like this:

Step One: Opt in Page

You should be sending all your traffic from your social networks and websites to a page similar to this.

Once they opt-in you steer them here…

Step Two: Thank You Page

After they sign up (or confirm their email), they are taken to page like this.

This is a page I whipped up quick to give you a visual.

I am only showing Twitter and Facebook here BUT you can add a link to pretty much any social network like YouTube or Instagram for Instagram. Depends on which comminuty you are looking to build the fastest.

You can also add actual Like, Share and Subscribe buttons as well.

I've even set it up so new subscribers are presented with links to all the places they can buy my music and/or merch for a limited time discount.

You can set something up just like this if you know your way around your email provider and you website. I created these pages in about 5 minutes using templates provided within GetResponse (free trial for you – kickback for me).

There you have it.

If you want a deeper explanation as to how and why this works, here is the Marketing Prof's article. They break it down very well.

Otherwise, let's chat about it in the comments below. What are your thoughts? How can you use this technique?
