Facebook is the #1 source of online traffic- over 550 million users!!! Google has been surpassed. Google is still #2 and is definitely a major source of traffic that you should tap into. However, I will just teach you about Facebook for now. To fully capitalize on Facebook traffic you need to apply free traffic methods and paid methods. The free traffic methods are using Facebook groups and like pages (fan pages) and getting 5,000 friends.
WHY GROUPS and LIKE PAGES are so PROFITABLE.
Groups have no limit to members and pages have no limit on likes. Plus, when someone joins a group or likes a page all their friends see it in their news feed. Also, emails get sent your group members. This is huge! And when you post, all your members get notified. Every like from your page goes viral and you can have a opt in form on your page. So start a group and page related to your niche and post quality content. Just tell all your friends a few times and warn them that you will be creating a content filled group. People will click on your links if you provide good content and earn their respect. The worst thing you can do is just create another spammy group or page. You can control who posts and what posts stay in your group.
GROUP MARKETING: Step 1 is to create a group about your niche, offer good content, and later market to your group. Groups go viral fast especially if you have good content. Don’t just spam all of your members with crappy affiliate links. If you build a good relationship with your members through rich content, your conversions will be x10 easy.
LIKE PAGE MARKETING: Step 2 is to create a like page (fan page) and put an opt-in form on it. You need to build a list to be a successful internet marketer, and most people don’t know that you can put an opt-in on your like page. Also, get people to like your page. The more popular, the better and Facebook pages rank in Google. Offer an incentive to like your page or become a friend and this will speed up the process. And, your like page can be full of content and good links to your products or affiliate sales page.
Facebook ADS is Step 3 and can be very profitable and get targeted traffic. Tens of thousands of targeted viewers will be drawn to your site. Now is the time to get in before the crowd or before Facebook changes something. When you create your ad, make the photo catch the eye, make the title be a question, and make the description offer a solution to a problem. The photo should be abnormal to catch the viewers eyes. The question in the title makes them curious, and the description explains what you are going to do for them. And don’t just send them to a sales page, unless it’s really good. Facebook does allow sales pages and squeeze pages but your chances of getting good conversions are less. Target only a few interests: the more niche the better. Its better to create two duplicate ads with different interests than to have one ad that has over ten interests.
Now, you should also try to max out your friends at 5,000. Use the search bar at the top and look for a group in your niche. Then ask a lot of the people in the group to become your friends. Ad a message to your friend request, and put them in a friend list.
DAILY Facebook MARKETING BLUEPRINT
You should market on Facebook everyday if you can. You don’t have to spend that much time either. Just a little bit everyday will do. You need to add new friends. Go to groups and like pages related to your niche and add friends. Write a personal message too. Next, POST something interesting or just a quote. Quotes are interesting, positive, and uplifting. Whenever someone has a birthday, tell them happy birthday. It is little things like this that really help build a RELATIONSHIP with people. And Facebook is all about building a relationship with people. If you don’t have a group, create one and post good content in it every day. Soon you will be getting a good number of friend requests, and you can right on their wall and say thanks. Also, send them a message that gives them a link to a free eBook. You should be able to give someone a free gift, either an eBook or video course. If you are experimenting with Facebook adds, remember to check them daily and make sure you are getting targeted traffic. If you send people to a sales page, tell them in the add that you want them to buy something-and how much it is. Then, only people interested in pulling out their wallet will click on your add. Make sure your profile picture is one of you smiling too.
Recap-add friends, post, send people your free gift, start a new group or like page. Facebook doesn’t show all your posts in your friend’s newsfeed anymore. They only show the posts that get likes, comments, and sends. You don’t have to get one of each for it to show, just post something that engages your friends. Ask a question or ask for a response. Remember, just be honest and be yourself. The rest will follow.
