OK. We all know the power of Facebook and what it can do for your business. However, are we really taking advantage of this awesome social platform? I think not. The great thing about this social website is that you can build your following. You can network with all the people who would be willing to work with you. If you don’t do this properly, however, you will not see the results you desire. Be sure to follow these steps to get the most out of Facebook:
First of all, if you plan on just posting links over and over again, I can guarantee that people will begin to think you are just some jerk trying to make a quick buck. But if you want to really succeed with Facebook, you must learn the tricks and tactics involved in doing so. You see, unlike Google PPC or any other paid advertising method, marketing with social websites takes time before things start to happen. Of course this is only the case if you are just starting out and don’t have a following of several thousand people.
So how do you make money with this technique? Well, if you have a product or service to promote, you could do that. I suggest that you start with affiliate marketing. This is where you find a product to promote that teaches something very specific. The product you choose will depend on the niche you’re in. So if you are building a following of internet marketers, you would want to promote an internet marketing product. Of course you can always make your own product and keep all the money to yourself.
The first thing that you need to do is network with all the people who would be willing to purchase these products from you. This will take months to implement, but the profits are much bigger in the long run. When you communicate with people on Facebook, make it your number one priority to become new friends with them. This is the best thing that you can do for your online business. The fact is that many people forget that they are dealing with real human beings when they do business with social sites. Don’t be one of these people.
Now that we got that out of our way, the next step will be to create your Facebook fan page. This is the page that people will see when they are interested in more information about your products and services. The most important aspects of this page are the title, your picture, and your call to action. Your picture should be welcoming. Your title should speak volumes about you and what you teach. Lastly, your call to action should be to subscribe to your newsletter. This is where you will be able to promote your products and services. Once they are a subscriber to your newsletter, you can send them your promotional, as well as content emails to earn their trust.
