How To Start A Social Networking Site

Facebook Marketing Secrets

Facebook is one of those cutting edge strategies that you’ve got to pay attention to if you want to prosper online in your business. Currently, Alexa ranks Facebook the number three website on the entire internet over the last three months. However, this month (September 2009) Facebook is rated #2, passing up both YouTube and Yahoo. It’s a simple fact that Facebook is the wave of the future online and it’s something that can help all of us make more money from our respective businesses. My goal in this article is to simply share with you how you can take some simple concepts and drive them straight into your profits.

First, I wanted to ask a question. What are most people using facebook for? Simply put, I want you to understand that social networks are there to do one thing, and that’s to build relationships. There isn’t a person alive who just LOVES being annoyed to death by offers all day and night. I can’t even describe how irritating and demeaning this is to all of our businesses when someone decides they’re going to spam the universe with all of their information. (If that’s you, do us all a favour and stop it today.)

So what you want to do is just be on Facebook to really connect with people, and to benefit them in some way if you can. If your goal is to benefit people and it comes across in your marketing, it’s fine to send out marketing messages on social networks, and it’s not annoying, either. ADD VALUE before you do anything, and people will instinctively be attracted to looking at your business offers on their own.

This is a universal concept that applies in every imaginable business setting. You never want to be the person who’s ‘just out to get the sale’. You want to be the person who gives without any thought in return, and adds value to everyone around you. I have. It is extremely irritating and invasive, just as it is to get the same canned marketing pitch on Facebook day after day after day.

I want to share with you how I use this social networking site. Facebook is not my main marketing strategy. Essentially, when I get new subscribers to my traffic newsletter, I find that person on Facebook If I have time, and I add them as a friend, sending them a personal hello message. What I’ve found is this simple act of connecting increases the amount that my subscribers purchase from me by 200%. Don’t you think that’s an easy strategy? The next step is to simply keep in touch with people who take the time to say hello personally. I don’t really go out of my way, I just respond to personal emails a few times per week.

Quite frankly, I don’t know why more people aren’t doing this. Using this strategy, I’ve made quite a lot of money and connected with some really cool individuals. Why don’t you test it out in your business? You’ve got nothing to lose!

Just keep this next idea close to your heart, and you’ll prosper online with Facebook. Give with abundance, and you’ll recieve with abundance as a result. This is the law of abundance, my friend. Perhaps I’ll see you on Facebook.
