Facebook Marketing

7 Ways You Can Grow Your Network Marketing Business With Facebook

By Anna Laura Brown

If you have spent any time online with social networking or reading the newest buzz, you have no doubt heard about facebook. You might even already have a Facebook account. However, it may not be obvious to you, how you can go about growing your network marketing business using this popular social network. I was confused too at first, however, after some practice and much research, I have figured out how to use Facebook and I am seeing awesome results and would love to help you learn to grow your network marketing business with Facebook too.
1. Set up a full and complete profile. This includes using a recent picture of you, adding in at least one of your websites as well as complete information about your hobbies, interests and business. Make minor changes such as changing your picture, adding videos and photos from time to time.
2. Spend at least five minutes keeping your Facebook account up to date. If you have the time it is a good idea to spend 20-30 minutes two or three times a week. However, Facebook can also become a time waster so you must be careful to avoid spending too much time there. Make sure to update your status with something positive that is going on, check out the statuses of your friends and comment on a few of their photos, videos or statuses, as well as to accept any new friend requests you receive.
3. Join 10-15 groups and actively participate. Post on their walls, add useful links if allowed and videos. Request to be friends with a few members of each group as well.
4. Start your own group. Include a relevant photo, some links, videos, wall posts and other interesting content. Keep your group up to date by adding something new at least once a week. Invite your friends to join your group. Consider hosting at least a monthly teleseminar or other event related to the theme of your group.
5. Avoid spam like the plague. Do not post your network marketing opportunity directly on groups, on walls or in emails to friends. Focus on building relationships and your success on Facebook will come. Whenever you obtain a new friend, take a few minutes to write an interesting and friendly welcome on their wall. Take the time as well, to see what they do and to visit their website. Keep in mind how you can network with the person or see if you can help them out in any way and let them know about it.
6. Add new useful content on a regular basis. This includes videos, blog posts on notes and other content others may find interesting and useful. You can also use the Facebook pages feature to create pages featuring your websites and products.
7. Take advantage of the Facebook chat feature and every once in a while chat with a few of your friends who are live on Facebook at the same time that you are. Be friendly and helpful and develop a relationship.
Follow these tips and you will grow your network marketing business with Facebook. Facebook is an awesome network for developing the kind of relationships that will eventually develop into strong team partners, if you work it correctly and you give it time.

Struggling With Your Network?

In my experience, when people are first introduced to the concept of network marketing - they are blown away! You can actually see a sparkle in a young person's eyes as they listen to the details and the benefits of the program they are being pitched on. More than that, you can see eyes that were long ago dimmed by the daily grind of the forty hour work week - glisten like they just found the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. It is in those moments, that an individual has learned that they can start to dream again. Visions of mansions and expensive cars are dancing through their minds, as they are given that elusive opportunity to become a successful business owner.

We all know what happens next. The excited individual can't wait to share what he or she has discovered, and rushes off to tell their spouse, friend, parent, etc. about this incredible, can't miss opportunity. All it usually takes is a one sentence response from any of the above mentioned people - and it's all over. "Don't you know that all of those things are pyramid schemes"?

The house, the cars, the tropical vacations....all come crashing down. "What do you mean? There are a lot of people making a lot of money doing this". The usual response is, "Well let me know when YOU are making money"!

And yet another entrepreneurial spirit is crushed.

What can be done to stop this? This is a great question that most of us would like answered for ourselves, but equally so for our downline and any new prospect. The answers lie in Internet marketing. We know that there are thousands of people that are searching the web for home-based businesses and how they can build a significant income from home. Why try to convince a friend who has no desire to get ahead in life to be a business owner? Wouldn't you rather work with hungry entrepreneurs that are searching for a business just like yours that they can sink their teeth into? It's a no-brainer. Click on any of the banners that you see to the right, and you will find exactly what you need to explode your network.
