Social Media Marketing on Facebook
Is it possible to make over $25,000 in three weeks on Facebook? It certainly is. Brian Campbell did just that in May 2008, and he’s shown people how it can be done. And the techniques he uses apply just as well to other social networking sites, like MySpace, Bebo, Hi5 and LinkedIn.
So how did he do it? It would be impossible to tell you all of Brian’s techniques in this short article. He actually shared everything in a 3 1/2 hour video series, which he gave away for free. However, some of the methods are quite simple and straight forward:
The most important thing is to create a network of contacts. Obviously, you can start by building up your list of friends. If you invite too many people to be your friend too quickly, Facebook will send you a warning message. Between 20 and 30 a day seems to be safe. You can find people to invite by looking through your friends’ lists of friends, and by joining groups and looking through their member lists.
It’s important to send a personal message to everyone you invite. People are more likely to confirm your request if you let them know that you share a common interest. If it’s someone whose name you recognise, tell them so!
The best way to get friends is by having people invite you to become their friend. You do this by being visible - and being sociable - posting comments, photos and videos on your friends’ profiles, for example. That person’s friends see what you’ve posted, and hopefully ask you to be their friend as well.
Starting a group - and eventually a number of groups - is a great way to expand your network of contacts. Group members don’t have to be your friends, but you can start getting members into your group by inviting your friends - and asking them to invite their friends as well. Give away lots of useful information - articles, downloads and videos are all good.
All the people in your groups as well as all your friends form your network of contacts. Ultimately, you want to get people to sign up for your newsletter, so that you can contact them without going through Facebook.
