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!
There are many social networking sites out there but there are 2 that stand out from the crowd, they are Twitter and Facebook. Around 15 million people are on Twitter and 65 million people are on Facebook.
This means whatever product/home business opportunity you are promoting you are SURE to find a large amount of people that will be interested in it!
However there are tips that will allow you to find these people on social networking sites that are likely to be interested in your product (targeted traffic) easily, here they are: 1. Your account/profile has to reflect the business/home opportunity you are involved with and let a person know who you are straight away.
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. Load your page with links to your site; now don’t go overboard but you can include links in you bio, about me and more info links. This makes your links easily accessible to viewers; also include your link every time you update your social networking status.
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. Frequently update your status with helpful information, for example I’m an internet marketer so I continually give people access to helpful information on internet marketing techniques; it might be a free report by myself or a link to a helpful website. By helping others you will become a leader and people looking to get into internet marketing will want to join into a leaders business as they can show them the way 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.
Limit the number of people you add on Facebook to 20 a day and Twitter to following 200 a day.
With social networking the key point is to keep it up; you have to continually add more people to your social networking sites if you are to drive large numbers of traffic to your sites.
