Facebook Marketing Strategies That Will Save Your Business!
Facebook has now grown to become the largest social networking website on the internet with over 200 million users. In fact, it’s ranked #2 behind Google. And the speed that Facebook is growing is faster than Google – incredible! So, if you are not marketing on Facebook, then you are losing out on this goldmine! You need to take advantage of this HOT social platform, learn the effective Facebook marketing strategies and put more money in your pocket.
Like the other social networking sites which are meant for socialising, Facebook is no different - it allows users to make friendships and socialise. This social media offers you the opportunity to let people know who you really are and this can help you to build relationships, credibility and trust before people can decide to do business with you.
In order to build long-lasting relationships you need to get the basics right. What kind of a person are you showing up as on your Facebook profile? Image is very important - you need to upload your nice, smiling, positive-looking picture (not your pet, family or business logo). This is Facebook remember? 
Your profile should tell a story about you and display your personality – put up ALL the information about you (hobbies, interests etc.)
Social media is like being at a party – would you hit everyone attending the party with your business opportunity and website address at the first encounter? If you do that, people would be annoyed,walk away from you and never wish to talk to you again. A fact is, social networkers do not like to be SOLD, period. They HATE being bombarded with endless offers and opportunities. I see a lot of people posting links to their businesses on your page or sending them to your inbox. And to make things worse, you don’t even know them – in most cases, they don’t even say hello.
They are simply not interested in you, but in ‘building’ their business. They don’t care about you and what you need — otherwise, they would have taken the time to build a relationship with you first to find out how they could best help you and wouldn’t just shove their opportunity or offer at you like that. Would someone who doesn’t know you at all, show up at your house and put up their business sign by the side of your house? — NO!! So, why are people doing it virtually?
Why would you want to sign up with them anyway, as they are not offering any value? It’s always advisable to think about how you would feel if you were approached in that way. A fact is, marketing the RIGHT way involves “getting into the mind” of your prospects, without pitching and arm-twisting!
I would like to share with you the fundamental Facebook marketing strategies so that you can be able to attract people to you rather than annoy them with your countless business offers. I personally have a great success with Facebook and I’m able to generate FREE leads on a daily basis without doing much. I also connect with my new subscribers to show that I am a real person who cares about them and wants to help them. I also have people contacting me, interested in what I have to offer without me pitching them my business opportunity!
The Facebook marketing strategies that I use consistently, have made a difference in my network marketing business and have increased my sales too. It’s not rocket science… Your objective should be to lead with value, build relationships, offer solutions to people’s problems and help them get what they want. When you do that, you will ATTRACT the interested people to your business and they will then start selling themselves on your products and services – as easy as that!
So, NEVER lead with your business, trying to force your opportunity or products down the people’s throats. Focus on getting to know people on a personal level. Build relationships, and give value then the rest will follow.
Many network marketers are trying to build their businesses by spamming the other Facebook users with their offers after offers. Are YOU one of them? Learn how to build relationships which will then encourage sales by implementing these easy Facebook Marketing Strategies.

How to Build Your Business Using Social Media
Without a doubt, social media marketing is now a great way to generate exposure for your business. Are you taking full advantage of this new media for promoting your business? If not, where do you start? Let’s look at the different tools to get you started:
Social Networking Sites
If you think social networking is for teenagers and for people with too much time on their hands, think again. Most marketers and top industry leaders are using social networking to connect with like-minded people and to generate FREE leads on a daily basis.
The truth is there are so many social networks out there and you may feel overwhelmed not knowing what works and what doesn’t. Let me share with you what I personally use:
- Facebook – one of the best places to get started. This is the world’s most popular social networking site, with over 200 million users. It’s very easy to use and you can even start your own group and invite other people to join. It’s very important to create new content every day, giving value to the people on your profile. It doesn’t have to be hundreds of words or too many videos, just keep it simple and be consistent. Then people will always look forward to your updates. One thing you have to avoid is to sell to people. Social networkers don’t like to be sold, so focus on relationship building, credibility and reputation building. Also, don’t constantly push for your own agenda, listen to others and focus on offering free unconditional value and tips.
- Twitter is another great social marketing tool to connect with other people and drive traffic to your websites. It is an open, instant messaging service that enables anyone to ‘follow’ what you’re Twittering about by viewing your Tweets. The same as Facebook, you don’t need hundreds of words, you’re limited to 140 characters. Again, stay away from promoting your business opportunity or products, you’ll lose your ‘followers’!
- YouTube is excellent for lead generation provided your channel offers great content value. You can also connect with other network marketers and make new friends there.
Blogging
In this day and age, you can’t succeed in your business without building an online presence. The internet is now the most powerful business medium ever created and is essential in building any network marketing business.
A blog is your hub – a key component of your online marketing. This is where prospects will find all the information about you, your business opportunity, the training that you provide, any other relevant information as well as your contact details. It sounds obvious, but I have seen websites without contact details. It’s important to invite your prospects to call or e-mail you. This is about building relationships.
You need to have a good blog so you can establish credibility that you’re a leader and the expert in the industry. Slow page loading, clashing colours and impenetrable language can turn people off and could lose you valuable business.
So how do you drive traffic to your blog?
The easiest way to get traffic to your blog is to produce lots of fresh content for people to view. Content is king! It’s important that you provide helpful information and tips to help people reading your blog.
Posting regularly will also help to boost your page ranking on Google because it shows that your site is active and people will be able to find you when they’re Googling.
Final social marketing tip:
When using social networking media, NEVER lead with your business, trying to force your business opportunity or products down the people’s throats. Focus on getting to know people on a personal level. Build relationships, then the rest will follow.
Now, go and start BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS…
