What is Social Network Marketing and how can it grow your business?
If you’re reading this, most likely you’re a home business owner looking to improve your social network marketing game. You probably already know the goal is to retail and recruit so that your business can flourish, so how is that possible using social media? Inside you’ll learn 3 tips to stand out on social media, and generate more interest for your business without being spammy or salesy.
1 – Lead with sharing valuable information that positions you as an expert.
People want to be around an expert. It’s also avoiding the blind leading the blind concept, where a total newbie is trying to teach something they haven’t done themselves. You become an expert from learning, applying and then teaching your findings (and sharing your results from applying a strategy).
This is much more enticing than just posting business or product offers on your profile all day. You can do promotions occasionally, just be sure to throw in some value based posts. If you would like an example of using social network marketing efficiently, follow me on Facebook if you haven’t done so already.
2 – Engage heavily, all the time.
Especially if your engagement currently sucks! You will only be able to build a reputation if you’re seen, and seen often. The more you engage with others, the more they will feel the need to reciprocate your efforts. Also, be sure you are engaging with the right people who you consider your perfect business partners, and not just anybody with a pulse.
If you do comment, it’s better to leave thoughtful comments that give some value or help to others. From this you can connect with the people who interact back with you, and make friends that way. When people start reacting to your content, it’s a good idea to connect with them in real time if possible, to show that you care about them interacting.
3 – Be consistent with posting content and interacting.
You could even share other people’s content, even if it means someone benefits more than you do. We live in an abundant universe, and by depositing into it you will be rewarded handsomely. Do your best to help others even when there’s no financial gain involved.
You also want to start creating your own content on a daily basis. I find that typically short, motivational and emotional style status posts get a massive interaction e.g. “I will be the first millionaire in my family” is something I posted that got almost 300 likes.
It did not happen overnight but over time I built an audience by posting consistently, you can do too. Although 300 likes alone is not going to pay you well, you can turn interaction into a network that can pay you well over time.
