Facebook has become extremely popular over the last couple of years and gets more than 200 million visitors every day, so it’s reasonable to expect internet marketers to be flocking there by the thousands. But most who market there are doing it all wrong! This article will show you an effective facebook marketing strategy that will avoid you becoming an annoying spammer.
Many internet marketers are now using Facebook in preference to MySpace. The fact that Facebook has over 200 million users now from across the globe makes it a very appealing platform to market on. You have probably noticed that there is a lot of spam on Facebook, mostly due to the fact the people just don’t know how to promote properly on Facebook. You know the sort of thing I mean, every time you log in you either see a news feed from them or there’s an email waiting for you in your inbox urging you to join their ‘fantastic, best thing since sliced bread, make a million bucks in 2 weeks’ business opportunity.
By learning what works and what not to do, I see no reason why you cannot have great success with Facebook as a promotion tool. Our main purpose with Facebook should be to make friends with people and network with them, that’s after all what FB is all about. There is a right time for revealing our business to people and it should happen in the natural path of relationship building.
Here are six steps that you can use to do business on Facebook,
1) You want your profile to be crammed full of information about you and your personal activities, let people know what you are into, what your hobbies and interests are, you want to have plenty of pictures of you and your family. Folks will be interested in finding out who YOU are and not just about what business you are involved with
2) You need to add some friends, choose people who you feel would benefit from what you have to offer, you can easily search for relevant groups on Facebook. Think outside the box and don’t just go for the ‘online business, mlm, network marketing’ groups.
3) Search for groups that you can become a member of, groups that are relevant to your niche are good. You might want to share your knowledge on the group wall which offers value to folks, most groups will allow this. Personally I post a lot of my videos to the wall so that people can actually learn and get value from my material, it works great to increase my presence online as an expert.
4) You can make your own groups. You can invite your friends to join or you can even use Facebook’s paid advertising system to get new members. It’s just like building a subscriber list but on Facebook.
5) Consider posting your content and videos to the walls of your friends (make sure it offers great value). Lots more people will see your content if you do this and it’s a great way to get your content posted all over the internet. Its always vital to remember that you want to be offering good quality original useful content otherwise you will just annoy people and they will most probably remove you from their network.
6) Produce a ‘friend welcome’ video that new friends will view. This is a VERY powerful Facebook marketing strategy and not many people are doing it.
Used properly a Facebook marketing strategy can be VERY effective and can generate highly qualified leads to your websites and sales-funnel.
