There are many effective approaches to using social marketing to grow your business. Social networks like MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Tagged, and the professionally oriented LinkedIn site are all the rage today.  Did you know Facebook is currently growing by 500,000 new users a day!

When used properly, social networking sites can provide massive leverage to grow your business. Just think about how many of the 500,000 new Facebook users each and every day could be potential customers for your business.

But for many people, social networking can also be a huge time sink if you don’t know how to connect the dots and have people in your social networks buying from you. You need to be careful and present your business in the appropriate way, without spamming or turning off your online friends, and potentially damaging your relationship with them forever. You’ve got to get them to know, like, and trust you before they will do business with you, especially on the internet.

We’re going to assume you’ve already chosen the appropriate social networks for your industry or business, opened your accounts, and established some friends.  What’s the next step?  One of the best ways to form a solid business relationship with your network and get more sales is to host an event. It can be a webinar, teleseminar, or in person event. If you live in a remote geographic area, it will be more difficult to get a big turnout for an in person event, but if you live in a populated area you can get a good turnout. The potential is huge for online events.

After you’ve picked the type of event, follow these 5 steps to get massive amounts of targeted, free real-time leads.  Read more...

The big talk of the town on the internet is social media and it’s for a good reasons because social marketing strategies are being used by all types of companies in a variety of different industries to build and maintain a profitable business.

In this article I will talk about a few of the social marketing strategies and some of the popular social media sites that they can be implemented on.

The top three web 2.0 social sites are Face book, Twitter and LinkedIn. The reason why these sites are so well-liked is because of the many multiples of millions of people that hang out at these sites daily.

Now since so many people visit these very well-known websites each and everyday, this is such a great place to go to meet people that may be interested in what you have to sell or to prospect for business partners for your MLM business.

The object to using social marketing strategies and the most important to me is to connect with other like minded individuals and build relationships with them.
This is done by becoming a member of groups of interest and adding people of interest as friends. Many people recognize this part of using social media to market but where they drop the ball is that they leave out the most important piece of the puzzle which is building a relationship; after you’ve added them as friends you must build relationships with these new friends sharing info and conversation with them.

I present myself as an expert and leader as a network marketer, I give tips and valuable marketing strategies to members of the group that may need some help with marketing their business. They see you as a leader and someone that knows what they are doing and when they need help you are one of the people they can come to for help and advice.  Read more...

Let’s face it, it’s challenging to absorb the ‘know how’ and pros of social networking sites without feeling overwhelmed and getting everything in a systematic fashion.

And yes, for a strategic social marketing plan of action, a ‘social system’ is essential for your sanity.

Here are 10 pros of social networking sites with a few excellent resources attached:

1. Facebook

The granddaddy of them all. According to Alexa rankings, Facebook is the 5th most popluar site in the world today.

Facebook is the perfect place to develop relationships online and now boast with more than a 100 million users online.

Unfortunately, to many marketers have adopted their tacky ‘MySpace Mentality’ in Facebook by pasting endless links on your profile wall.

This is enough to make anyone cringe.

Lots of potential for marketing, if you are prepared to build relationships first.

Best Resource will be Mari Smith, relationship and buzz marketing specialist. You will find plenty of golden nuggets on her fan page which can be found by doing a search on Facebook.

2. Squidoo

There’s been plenty of debates whether Seth Godin’s (the king of marketing in my honest opinion) collection of half a million pages still delivers quality traffic after a not so recent Google Slap.

But, like Seth mentions, Google is famous for rewarding pages that are worth while, so if you Squidoo lens provides quality content, Squidoo has endless benefits for your web presence.

Check out Rena Klingenberg’s Squidoo Traffic Power lens for great tips and resources.

3. Hubpages

Hubpages are relatively the same as Squidoo. Instead of a lens, you build a hub. Hubs with blatant affiliate promotions will not get approved.

Only original, relevant content will cut it.  Read more...
