    Another tool that you should look into is crowdspeaking. Platforms like headTalker and thunderclap allow for crowdspeaking campaigns to be created very fast. These crowdspeaking campaigns allow for your link to be seen by new people who do not follow you directly on social media. Great way to break past the algorithms online!

    • Thank you for the recommendation Starla! 🙂

      Could you provide a bit of an insight into how these tools work so that other readers can benefit from your recommendation?

      • Starla Macintosh

        Well, the first thing that you want to do is start a campaign. HeadTalker approves in 1-2 hours at no cost, and Thunderclap takes up to 3 days, unless you pay $45 for faster approval. After your campaign is approved, you would want to ask people to add their support to your crowdspeaking campaign for free. HeadTalker has a Market Place where you can buy supporters for your campaign, which is pretty convenient.

        Your goal is to reach or pass your supporter goal before your end date. Once you reach your supporter goal and end date, your message and link will be shared by all of your supporters automatically on their personal social media profiles. It’s a fun and simple way to increase the traffic you receive from social media. I think that adding crowdspeaking campaigns to the current social media marketing someone might be doing will only benefit their efforts online. There is a side-by-side comparison of the two platforms here: crowdspeaking.com

        • Thanks for sharing Starla, I’ve taken a look at the comparison site and it seems like it could be a site made by HeadTalker to prompt people to choose HeadTalker over Thunderclap. Also, are you an affiliate for HeadTalker? We like to provide our readers with a transparent insight into the world of Digital Marketing so it would be good if you could let them know if you are connected to HeadTalker in any way?

          Thanks Starla!

            It’s made by HeadTalker? I thought that is where you went to look at crowdspeaking websites. The prices for the features are correct though. You can look at Thunderclap’s prices here: https://www.thunderclap.it/pricing

          • Ok thanks for the info Starla.
