Social Marketing Secrets You Should Know About
I was having a conversation this week with a client, whom I really love working with, about social media and an interesting point came up in our coaching session.
She mentioned that she had heard a lot about what to do on these social networking sites like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, and others, but not once was she taught what to say and how to say it to the people she was connecting with!
She had a point. And I’ve seen most people go about the connecting thing all wrong, and in fact, sometimes they mess it up so bad that I simply delete their requests!
First, you’ve got to understand that your connecting to another human being on the other side of all the technology. You’ve got to understand that these people have thoughts, feelings, and emotions just like you.
And, there are good ways of reaching out to people you don’t know and bad ways of doing it too.
Let me give you an example of a bad way. You reach out to connect with somebody and don’t take a moment to even edit the default message these sites send to people you want to connect with!
Or worse, you send out a request to connect to somebody and your profile has no photo, or even worse, has a photo of a child!
While you may love your kids to tears, if I don’t know you, don’t know your kids, or don’t know a thing about you and you present me with a request and all I see is a photo of a child, I’m simply not going to add you to my friends list.
Don’t get me wrong, I love kids, but there’s no place for them in my network because my work does not speak to kids!
You don’t get a second chance online and first impressions count.
Think of online networking just as you would a live, in-person event. Now if you’re not used to these kinds of gatherings, you may need some additional training in the area of social
networking if you’re planning on using this powerful force to build your business.
If you’ve not already done so, get a copy of my program, The Facebook Factor and learn how to connect with people so they respond to you. It’s the best $20 you’ll spend all year!

Now, one more thing you should know about Facebook. On this one web site, you can build a group, and send messages to every member of your group as often as you want - all at no cost to you!
When I shared this with a woman who runs a local retail store in our town, she ran home, set up a group, and is now messaging her group members with special offers on a daily basis!
Without paying anything to anybody, she’s got a neat online marketing system at her finger tips that is sure to build her business!
There are no excuses. You can’t tell me you can’t do this because you need money to buy an e-mail service, or you need big bucks to buy search engine traffic. Those days are over!
Powerful marketing is at your finger tips, does not require a credit card, and is accessible to anybody for any reason!
Oh, and did I mention that when you send a message to your Facebook group it gets delivered TWICE? Once to your member’s regular e-mail inbox, and also to their online Facebook account inbox!
If you don’t already have a Facebook account, get one now! If you need some guidance on where to start and a few powerful marketing strategies that will get you results fast, grab a copy of The Facebook Factor now.
