Social networking has become a big buzz in the business world today and no other website has what Facebook has to offer. You can easily promote your business by meeting people you relate to on a personal level. People buy from people they like, so after you get to know folks on Facebook it gets easier to make sales. Ok, you're convinced - let me tell you more.
The first thing you must do is to make friends. The best way to do this is to search for your existing friends. You can do this by going through your address book or email list and adding them to your friends list on Facebook. Once you have exhausted your current contact list, start browsing to find people that you can meet. It's best if you have something in common with them right off the bat. This will make it easy for you to get to know them better.
Once you have a healthy list of friends on your Facebook account you can slowly start to promote your business. You want to remember to do this subtly. If you don't, people will start to get annoyed quickly. They might report you as a spammer or get rid of you as their friend. You never want to seem like you're too over-the-top. You also want to actually become their friends if possible. Take an interest in what they like. Send them messages from time to time and get to know them on a personal level. When someone trusts you, they will be much more likely to purchase from you.
Pictures on Facebook is one of the best ways to get to know people. You can post your pictures, and people will begin to view your pictures to get to know you better. For example, if you are a home remodeler and you want to share updates on your latest project, posting the pictures on Facebook is a great way to begin to prequalify people who might buy your services. When people see the high quality work that you do, you'll be the first person that comes to mind when they want to remodel.
Groups, are another great way to make friends. Groups on Facebook are people that have similar hobbies, interests, and are like-minded. There are many different topics you can choose from: geography, religion, politics, sports, movies, music, and even your high school class.
Status, is another way to connect with people. Your status ask you "what are you doing?" you can connect with people by sharing bits and pieces of your life on a daily basis. You could be: hiking in the woods, reading a novel, or maybe you are at your daughter's dance studio. No matter what you are doing, it's another opportunity to connect with your friends. You can even announce how excited you are about a new product or service that your company has come out with.
Posting links to your Facebook account is yet another way to connect with others. I like to post video links from YouTube. When you post those links, the video will automatically appear on your friends update page, so they can immediately watch the video you posted. maybe you're learning how to bowl and you've got a great blooper video from Friday nights bowling practice. You might also want to share news articles, your blog posts, and your favorite pictures.
No matter what your experience is online, Facebook is a great way to connect and promote your business. It will allow you to increase your income.
