Looking for new ways to promote your product, service or affiliate? Facebook is now the leading social networking website. With Facebook, there is huge potential for businesses to tap into network marketing. But are you not quite sure about how into this social and marketing phenomenon? If so, please read on.

By getting people to interact with you on Facebook, you begin building a network of interested individuals who might be future customers. This is very beneficial for your list of contacts and customer database. Keep in mind, even if someone does not convert to a sale right away, they still have potential to become a customer. You need to find a way to get them into your sales pipeline, and, hopefully, stay there.

This is accomplished by keeping these points in mind:

1. Be patient. Building your presence on Facebook is going to take some time and energy. As with all business and marketing avenues, success doesn’t happen overnight. Although you could outsource some of your Facebook presence-building, you must be careful that you also adhere to my next point.

We are in business to make money, it’s as simple as that. We have a product that we know can make us money, or we have a service that we know people need. We could have the best looking website on the internet, but if people cannot find the website, then we have problems. Thats why we need to advertise our business, and promote the life out of it, if we want to succeed and make money.

So now you have your website online, you have a good product or service available that you know will make you money. Now you need customers/traffic. There are various ways to do this, one being PPC or you could pay serious money to a good SEO company to do the job for you. But, there are also other ways of doing this, that cost’s very little or in many cases, nothing at all.

So often I come across websites that claim they can teach you to make money online for free. Most people although skeptical, will follow the advice on the site because they are desperate to find answers.

Is it really possible to learn to make money online for free? I don’t think so. If you had spent time and effort to find a way to make real money, would you tell the rest of the world how to do it? All you would be doing is to create competition and shrink your own earnings

No one that is actually making real money online would want to give up their secrets for free. It is already a very competitive market, and everyone has to develop their own methods and find their own niches to actually make it in the industry.

Some people who are successful in the online world are willing to impart their knowledge to learners, but they will charge a high price. Individual coaching can cost thousands of dollars and there is never a guarantee of success, indeed there is often no success at all.

If your goal is to achieve success as an internet marketer, then you are definitely going to have to stand out from the crowd….and let me tell you, that crowd is actually a multitude!

Literally thousands of people are selling the very same product and information as you are. How are you going to get people motivated to follow you instead of all those others? One very powerful way, is by branding yourself.

Webster’s dictionary states that a ‘brand’ is a mark made by a hot iron, a trademark or a mark of infamy. No doubt you are familiar with the process that takes place in branding an animal. This is done so that the animal is permanently identified with it’s owner. Here’s the good news….we don’t have to go to that extreme to brand ourselves! However, we do have to take some type of action to permanently identify ourselves from the hordes of other people around us. I have to tell you that this is going to take a lot longer than branding an animal, but it will be well worth your time.

Network Marketers and home based businesses are using attraction marketing to generate a huge number of high quality leads. What is attraction marketing? Attraction marketing means your prospects come to you because they believe what you are offering is valuable. The traditional way of thinking is the network marketer is the pursuer. However, it is the exact opposite in attraction marketing….you do not chase anyone and it is free. Don’t you think attraction marketing is a much more attractive way for network marketers to do business? The way I see it you won’t be a nuisance and a nag to friends and family…and you won’t be calling people who have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Right now, most successful internet marketers are involved at some level, with social networking. The emphasis here is on the word ‘networking’. These sites are not platforms for you to blatantly promote your product or opportunity. The general idea is to interact with others, getting to know them, exchanging ideas and knowledge and then eventually being in a position to share information about your business with them.

Every day new social networking sites are being created. However, right now the most popular are Twitter, Facebook and MySpace. A new up-and-coming site is BetterNetworker. The people behind this site are Mike Dillard and Perry Belcher. It is my prediction that by this time next year, BetterNetworker will be receiving a very large piece of the social networking pie.

TWITTER — This is a free social networking and micro-blogging service. It allows it’s users to send and read other users updates. These are called ‘tweets’. They are only in text form and you are limited to 140 characters in length per post. This can challenge your copywriting skills. You can connect Twitter and Facebook to enable you to post your ‘tweets’ on your Facebook page also.

Some of you might have heard a lot of buzz recently about the term ‘My Story Marketing’. In this article, I will be covering what it is and what it can possibly do for your business. We all have our own personal story and it could be a really interesting one, but if no one learns about it, then it is not going to have any impact on our business.

So how do we get our unique story out there for all to see? The main avenue for doing this is through the social network marketing scene. Some of the more popular ones are Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, MySpace and Squidoo. Each of these has different features, but they all put their emphasis on communication between people.

All of these sites have a section where you can enter information about yourself. A lot of people fail to utilize this properly. They just enter one or two sentences about where they live or what they do for a living. They tell the reader very little about themselves. This is their chance to tell their story and connect with others. This is their opportunity to draw people in.

Web 2.0 is the use of social networking platform to expand business, besides the friendster, Facebooking, and Myspace, there is a tool that allows you to connect with the rest of the world, Twitter

Twittering is a highly effective tool to communicate and the other advantage is that it is very user friendly and simple to use.

Many marketers are already using this platform to expand their business by knowing more people and sharing resources about what they are doing.

Prospecting

there is little restrictions on the communications in Twitter. Just bear in mind that you need people to follow you in order to get your messages seen by other people.

You can send them a description of your product followed by a link or you can start by making a friend and establish a relationship form there. You can also post advertisements or call outs for business partners, the message will be visible to everybody “following” you.

When I first got into the internet marketing business, I heard people talking about their Facebook and Twitter pages. I didn’t pay too much attention at first, but then as I was hearing more and more about these two sites, I decided to do a little research.

What I discovered really took me by surprise. It became obvious that these were two serious sites. They were not only being used by teenagers who just enjoyed spending their spare time messaging back and fore to their friends. These sites were being used by all types of very prominent business people.

Even when I realized that a lot of successful people were utilizing Twitter and Facebook, I still did not understand what they could possibly be getting out of it. So it was time to do a deeper study of the sites. What I eventually found out absolutely shocked me. People were reporting that they were making literally thousands of dollars each and every month by utilizing these two websites.

All the buzz about social networking and web 2.0 marketing strategies is here and here to stay. The question I wanted answered for myself was, “Is it real or is it just hype”? After diving into my own research on a top internet marketing guru I have come to find out that it’s more hype than real.

Alright, before you lose your mind and discount this as some anti web 2.0 marketing campaign. Let me explain briefly. I do believe that Web 2.0 strategies are useful, effective and growing rapidly in the marketplace, however, I have come to understand that the million dollar earners on the internet have not totally abandoned traditional wisdom when it comes to their online success.

In my findings, I followed a high profile, top earning internet marketer and he was willing to share some vital information with me that turned my thinking upside down and left me scratching my head.
