Earn free CST every day with these four easy methods!
Did you know there are four easy ways to earn CST every day? You don’t need a lot of time, effort, or experience to start earning free CST by doing these tasks! Here’s how to get started right away...
Curating content
Content curation is a great way to earn points quickly because you're sharing content that other people have already shared. You can use a few different tools to make content curation easier, but here are some of our favorites: Feedly allows you to save interesting articles to your own custom RSS feed. If you use Flipboard for reading, consider adding your Flipboard account to Feedly so you can collect all of your news in one place. Scoop it does essentially what it sounds like: allow saving and collecting interesting articles from around the web onto your own site.
Creating videos
Everyone loves video. In fact, one study found that 69% of all customers say they’re more likely to buy a product online after watching a video about it. We do it at work too—video is an integral part of our daily lives. A recent survey found that 83% of US companies use or plan to use videos in their content marketing strategy, and 63% have already adopted video in some capacity. Not sure where to start? Just keep it simple; shooting and editing can be as simple as opening up your laptop and hitting record. For example, try making a short 5-minute tutorial on how to do something like setting up email on your phone or downloading music from an app store.
Participating in discussions
User-contributed content can be an excellent way to build traffic and gain credibility on your site. If you have a forum or comment area, encourage users to respond to each other’s ideas. Use discussion leaders (users who ask insightful questions or create interesting discussions) as contributors to your site, even if they are not experts in your niche. Then moderate comments daily and give feedback that encourages people to think critically about what they’re reading. But again, avoid offensive or inflammatory language—it will cost you in traffic.
Joining groups
If you’re looking to generate some additional sales, adding your content to relevant Facebook groups is a fantastic way to do so. Facebook groups are communities of people within a given niche who share knowledge and advice on that niche. This allows you to tap into those communities and create more sales, as well as making yourself more knowledgeable about that community. In addition, it’s a great way to build rapport with other members of that group, which is important for your future marketing strategy. There are two main ways you can find relevant groups: 1) Googling [niche] Facebook group 2) Searching for [niche] keywords on Facebook directly.
