Why You Should Be Using Social Network Marketing
Social Network Marketing is a pretty big thing at the moment, everybody is realising the power of the social media giants like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Due to the nature of an MLM business, social network sites really are a match made in heaven, after all its all about networking with other people. We are not in a hideaway business here, it’s all about personal contact and relationship building.
We should remember though that we should market responsibly on the social networks, our primary activity is connecting with people and building relationships, not just promoting. I expect you have already seen your own fair share of spam on sites like Twitter and Facebook, and also YouTube in particular. Personally I find it a real turn off, I expect you do to.
Sites like Facebook and YouTube are fantastic for building trust with prospects and also for finding new qualified prospects, you can also promote your own brand, products and content, plus there is the advantage of increased exposure, if people like the stuff you are sharing then they may well share it with their friends also. You could quite easily build a celebrity like status using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc…
With the potential available from social network marketing you’d be crazy to let the current craze pass you by.
Perhaps you might want to use the following strategies to promote your business
Facebook – Every marketer should have a Facebook account. It’s a great way to connect with your prospects and also great for finding new ones! Make sure you are looking for new friends to add each day, preferably people who may be particularly interested in the products/services you are offering. Search and join groups in your niche. Joining groups is a great way to increase your friend base because other people from the groups are likely to start adding you as a friend. If you want to significantly increase the number of friend requests that you get then join about two hundred groups and watch what happens!
Also make sure you have a Facebook fan page set up, this is VERY hot at the moment. Everybody likes to be liked of course! The more fans you can get the better, it’s always good to look popular, but you are also able to send a status update to all your fans at the click of a button, so it becomes a very powerful marketing tool. It’s like having another marketing list, but on Facebook. Its a good idea to have some sort of offer on your fan page to encourage people to not only ‘like’ you, but also to opt in to your list.
Social Bookmarking sites – You can post links to your content at these sites, it will increase your exposure and people searching for information in your niche can actually cast a vote for your content if they like it, your content can also be shared across the internet at the click of a button. There is the potential for massive exposure using these sites and you will of course be getting extra backinks to your content which is a good thing. The search engines in general, and especially Google are giving much more weight to links from bookmarking sites, so these links will help push your rankings up in the organic listings which of course means more traffic. Because you want your content marked on as many sites as possible you might want to consider using a free tool like Onlywire to do it all for you automatically, it will save you a ton of time!
There isn’t enough room here to go into the other three very powerful social network marketing strategies. If you also use a content marketing strategy you really can explode your business with 30 + leads a day for your business.
