The trick is how do you get those leads? I will give you some basic training on how to begin to attract leads to your business on Facebook. #1 One of the first mistakes made by new on line marketers is blasting their opportunity to every new person they meet on Facebook. New marketers seem to want to push their opportunity to everyone on their friend list. Spamming your opportunity will usually turn most people away. Everyday I receive friend requests and a good part of them tell me how I will become wealthy if I join their opportunity. I always decline a request with that kind of message. Even I, as a marketer, do not like being spammed or sold. Why would I think any other person wants to be sold or spammed. Many Facebook people are of the same mind set about spamming. Facebook is a social site, so you first need to socialize. Get to know one another, develop a relationship and build trust. Once that trust is established then the time to present your opportunity will present it self. The conversation will always lead to "What is it that you do?" That is the time to present your opportunity. I know this is different than what your up line trained you to do. I'm sure you were told to talk to everyone about your awesome product and opportunity. When you market off line that technique may work for you but it will not work on Facebook. #2 Bring value to the on line community. Referring to step #1, post content that is educational or helpful instead of shouting about your opportunity 20 times a day. Write about something that will help others to build their business on line. This technique will make you look like a "Go to" person instead of a pushy sales person. I had to learn this the hard way. I quickly learned that I wasn't getting anywhere by broadcasting my opportunity. Then I was introduced to the principle of Attraction Marketing. After studying Attraction Marketing I learned that if I help others fill their pockets then mine would fill up also. When the trust was established then I could talk about my opportunity. I know this goes against traditional marketing but traditional marketing doesn't work in the on line arena. #3 Narrow down who your prospects are. You need to. Look for people already in the MLM arena. Are you asking why you should go after other mlm people? We all know that this is a tough business and that 97% will quit within the first year. The value added, that I talked about earlier, comes into play now. What if you were to show one of these people how to acquire some leads. You have given them more than their up line ever did. When you help someone acquire some leads for their business they will see you as someone to follow. When you show someone how to get what they want, guess who their new leader will be? YOU! This means the more value you provide them the more they see you as a leader and will do whatever you want them to do. Primarily join YOUR opportunity! #4 Join groups. Look for groups that are formed for network marketing. Use the search feature in Facebook and search for mlm, network marketing or specific mlm companies. Once you find the group you want to connect with, hit the "See all members" button. A window will open and you will see all the members in that group. Click the "Add as a friend" link and another window will open. In the new window you will see a "Send a personal message" link. Click the link and a message box will open. Type in a short note, then hit "Send Message". You will get a better response by typing a note. People love to hear complements about themselves. Check out their profile, before sending the note, complement them on something like pictures of kids or just a comment about their profile. You don't have to send an essay. Just something short like, "I see your involved with company xyz. What a great company. Want to connect, and share ideas on how to build our business?" Never present your opportunity in the friend request. I try to connect with 50 people a day using this method. I've just given you 4 tips that bring me daily leads from Facebook. Please use these methods to enhance your on line marketing.
