Social Media Growth Story from Michael A. Stelzner on Vimeo.

When Michael Stelzner started Social Media Examiner in October 2009, he never dreamed it would become so successful so quickly.

He didn’t advertise, didn’t rely on the press and almost none of his traffic came from search engines.

As of March 2011, Social Media Examiner has 59,000 email subscribers, 33,000 Facebook fans, over 60 writers and half a million page views per month.

In addition, the site has generated almost $2 million in sales; ranks among the top 12 websites on two Technorati lists – business and small business; and ranks among the top 1,500 websites in the entire United States, according to Alexa.

Everything he does focuses on delivering high-quality content coupled with intelligent social media marketing.

“We didn’t do anything unique,” Stelzner said. “We simply employed great content with smart social media marketing and our community did the rest. And any business can achieve great results.”
