Marketing Using Social Networks

Marketing Using Social Networks

by Vladimir Peshev 2010-04-03

One of the most effective and free ways for online marketing are the social networks - Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and many others. Marketing through these networks is a very good strategy because they may get you a lot of traffic and, moreover, they are 100% free to use. However, social networking is not the usual way of getting traffic. In Facebook, you don't just post your link somewhere and hope that someone will just see it, but instead of this, you build relationships with people, make friends, and only after that, you let them see what you have to offer.

Building Relationships

Most social networks offer the opportunity of making friends on the Internet. Logically, in order to get more traffic, you will need to make a lot of "friends" who will see your profile. For that reason you need to build relationships with these people, instead of just flooding them with your advertisements and links. Making a friendly profile, putting a picture and saying a couple of things about personality won't hurt. In fact, they will help you get the attention of people who may become your future customers.

The most important part in social marketing is to let people discover what you have to offer. This happens because when you have a huge list of followers or friends, they see 100% of what you say. This leads to more traffic to your websites, and consequently, more money for you.

Here Are 3 Useful Tips When Marketing With Social Networks:

1. Spend just a few minutes a day in social networks. Don't think of it as a job, but just as something of your own interest. The fact is that when you accept something as a job, you get frustrated and you think that you are obligated to do it. This doesn't help because when people are frustrated and don't do what they want, but what they have to, they are not productive enough and they can soon lose interest and stop doing this thing.

2. Master one network, and then move to the next. There is no point in wasting your time mastering more and more social networks at once. This will make you feel overwhelmed. Furthermore, your results will be poor, compared to those of people who have only mastered one network. For that reason, start with Facebook or another network, and when you think that you have done everything you are able to, move to the next, for example Twitter.

3. Don't be lazy! Most people fail when they start every kind of marketing because they are lazy. If you want to get traffic and make money, you must sit in front of the computer for as long as you need in order to achieve this. It is not a job, but it requires work, and you are the only person who can do this work.
