So many online marketers have turned their attention to Facebook in preference over MySpace. With so many users from all over the place this social network has massive potential for anyone wanting to promote themselves there. Thousands of marketers are using Facebook for their marketing purposes but most are amateurish spammers. 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.
Is it possible to use Facebook Marketing as a tool? For sure it is, we just need to learn to do it correctly. We must remember that it's all about socialising online and therefore our main use for it is to formulate relationships with folks. The promotion of our opportunities can happen naturally at a later date when we have developed connections with folks.
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, put plenty of picture there of you. People want to learn about YOU not just your business.
2) Start searching for groups relevant to your market and start adding friends. Be intelligent about it and find groups other than the 'online business' crowd.
3) Start searching for groups to join in your niche market. Most group owners will allow you to post on the wall so you could post some useful information to the wall. I like to post my videos to group walls when I have published them, my videos will be offering value and NOT pitching my business but it attracts people to my blog and they get real value out of it which puts me in a favourable position and they are more likely to opt-in to my newsletters.
4) Think about starting your own FB group that is of relevance to your target audience. 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) You can also post your videos and articles to your own wall and also to the walls of your friends. By doing this your material can be seen by way more folks. Again remember not to abuse this by spamming with your business opportunity, the end result of that will be that your 'friend' will delete you most likely.
6) Create a personal video greeting to your new Facebook friends and tag them to the video. This is not used very often at all on Facebook and yet it really is effective and folks love it.
If you know how to do it properly you can get a lot of very targeted leads using these Facebook marketing strategies.
