Social Networking – Asolutely Need To Know Tips

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. Make your profile/account personal; do this by including picutres of yourself and family and friends. As soon as a viewer visits your profile they will see you are a real person and not some spamming robot!

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 about them not just talked about your product.

6. Update your social networking status frequently. Include helpful information in your status, for example I’m an internet marketer so I provide my followers with links to FREE reports or a useful site (this can be my own if I believe my site can benefit them!). By doing this you become a leader and social networking friends will look up to you and inevitably want to go into business with you!

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.

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.
