What social would be good, what buttons to use

[BobGW]

Hello,

What social media do you recommend for

nlpca(dot)com

and what kind of buttons convert best for a site like that?

We're working on facebook right now:

So far I like the buttons on the top right of this site: weddingmountain(dot)com.

Thanks!

You're probably going to need to test to get the answers to these questions.  Those buttons on weddingmountain look good, but that's because they fit into the theme of the site so well.  Once you have a theme set up you can find buttons that match, and then you can play with placement to see what works for you.

Also, nipca doesn't seem to be a site yet.... I got the default GoDaddy page when I visited it.

It's nlpca (with an L) not nipca (with an i) I think is why you oculdn't see the site. It shows up fine on this end.

Let's focus on facebook. Do you suggest that we just put the basic 'like' button up for now?

[jennita]

Currently you have a share Facebook button, however a "like" is much easier for the user (just one click) and still shows up in the user's timeline. I'd suggest changing that to just a "like" button. It wouldn't hurt to have a link to your facebook page as well.

Since your page is so new, I'd ask all your friends and family to like your page so that it looks like it has a few more interested people.

I also agree with Phillip that you'll probably need to test what works best for you. There is no magic number or formula when it comes to placing social buttons.

Hope this helps!
