facebook and other social networking sites are a great way to bring traffic
to your website and finding prospects and make money
here's the big picture on how facebook could work for you and any step you
need to
take to be profitable and social networking
step one
for those of you who don't have one yet
create a facebook profile
your profiles where people get to know you and there are some things you
want
to make sure your profile contains and some things that are not a good use
of
your time because our purpose here is to do the things that make us money
and not
bother with the time waster
and i'll give you details on what you want to do while setting up your
profile
step to make friends
once you're friends with someone on facebook you're allowed to communicate
with
them much more easily and of course communicating with them as how they
find out what you offer so they can do business with you if they don't know who
you are and what you offered there's no chance they're going to buy anything
from you
says that she was deflect friends and not just any friends but the ones who
are most likely to be interested in what you offer
the best way to meet these people is through facebook groups whoever your
target market is there's a group out there that caters to those
people they're likely several and you're going to find these groups and
start becoming friends but the people in those groups once you're friends with
someone you can start talking with them and find out if you have something they
need you can also find out if your potential customers have a need that is
being fulfilled and a certain way she want to go about this that are very
effective and will get you kicked off of facebook
step three
make friends with your friends
now if you look at your wall your profile
this will show you everything that's happening with your facebook account
and
it will show you who you're now friends with
most of these people you haven't had a chance to talk with but they are in
your
friends network now
so you can and should contact them because many of them probably need what
you have
or they will need it at some point in the future
and when they have the needed you want them to come to you
so you want to contact these people
pretty soon you're going to be in communication with hundreds and then
thousands of your prospects through facebook
and they're easy ways to keep track of who you talk to and what you've
talked
about
and keep in contact with them so you can find the best prospects
and as part of all this is you can do this in just two minutes a day
if you've got a lot going on and you need a systematic and
profitable way to keep this going
so you want to get in touch with these people and stay in touch with them
in a non time-consuming way
and it can be done
step four
mass communication
if you've been part of facebook for a while do you know that there are ways
to
communicate with people in large numbers
meaning you can get information in front of a lot of people at one time and
reach
a much wider audience more quickly
i'm not talking about advertising on face book
but i'm talking about is reaching the masses through groups and through
sending messages to your own friends
now if you've been part of this book for a while you know that mass
communication
is mostly ineffective on facebook
except under certain circumstances where works very well
and you want to take advantage of this ability to communicate with large
numbers of people and if done correctly it will benefit your business allot
mass communication can and should be done on face book
and we'll talk more about how to make that work for you
step five
create a group
in many cases creating your own group on facebook is a great idea
when you do this people confined to enjoy new without you having to make
contact first and then you have their permission to send them information
you want to create a group that builds itself and gains a lot of movement
of
members quickly
but if you look around you'll notice that most facebook groups aren't
really
going anywhere
the last thing you want to do is former group and get stuck it twenty-seven
members who don't participate in the group becomes stagnant
you want to create a group that is constantly growing such that anyone who
sees your group will want to be a part of it and the group will build on
itself
and there's a right way and a wrong way to do this
if you do this correctly than your influence among your prospects will grow
exponentially and you'll become a leader in your field on facebook
and that's the position you want to be in
starting a successful group is not difficult if you have a few things in
place and you know how to best get started and there are a couple other
advanced things you can do on face book to really get things rocking that
will
talk about as well as some of the common time waster sand ineffective
activities
that a lot of business owners don't realize are hurting their business.
