Social Networking is the easiest and (in my opinion) most effective Internet Marketing technique. The best thing about social networking is it is 100% FREE. It makes the whole proces of driving traffic to your sites and list building easier than ever before!
Nowadays there are dozens of Social Networking sites around but there are two that stand out from the crowd. They are Twitter and Facebook; these are the most popular social networking sites by far. There is around 15 million people on Twitter and 65 million people on Facebook.
This means then that you are sure to find a large enough amount of people that will be interested in your product/home business opportunity no matter how niche it is!
The key to social networking effectively and making money online is to target specific people and ensure they buy from you, here are some top tips how: 1. Make sure your account/profile reflects the business you are involved with and who you are.
2. Have a bio about yourself and tie it in with what particular niche you are involved with, if you're an Internet Marketer tell the viewer how you first got involved with Internet Marketing.
3. Personalize you site; include picutres of yourself and of your family and pets. This straight away lets the viewer know you are a real person and not an automated robot. People will warm to that fact.
4. Include several links to your sites on your profile; do this on Facebook and Twitter by putting the links in your "about me" section and post them whenever you can. All major social networking sites allow you to update your status; every time you do leave a link to your site.
5. Connect with new visitors/friends straight away. You do this by drafting up a generic email and sending it to any new social networking friends. Introduce yourself, let them know how you can benefit them and what product/home business you're involved with. Then ask to hear more about that person which will lead to most people replying as you've asked to hear from them.
6. Constantly update your social networking status with helpful and to the point information. For example I'm an internet marketer so I continually give people access to useful Internet Marketing information; it could be a free report or a link to a helpful site (can be your own site as well!). This brands you as a leader as you are helping others, people will look up to as you can direct them to success.
7. Make sure you add targeted people to your social networking site. To do this look for keywords that appear on other people's profiles. For example if you're promoting cat food search for the word "cat" this will bring up people that have "cat" on their profile. This means that the likely case is they own a cat so will be interested in buying a cat food product.
This is important; limit the number of people you add on Facebook to 20 a day and the number of people you follow in Twitter to 200 a day.
Finally my key point if you want to market effectively using social networking sites is to keep it up; continually add people to drive more traffic to your sites and frequently update your status.
