I'm Sharing Live this Weekend; Facebook Tips and More
Published: Thu, 11/04/10
Hey ,
Are you enjoying fall and making the most of it in your business?
NOW is the right time for building YOUR business and creating what
YOU want out of life.
I am thrilled and excited to be headed into Los Angeles tomorrow
for a full weekend with Mike Klingler at his Marketing Funnel
Mastery event for online marketers, and mostly Network Marketers.
He has invited me to speak on stage and share my story of the last
11 years of marketing online; the successes; the challenges and why
NOW is the perfect time. I'm sure to come home with some great
nuggets and wisdom.
Using the wisdom I learned from Mike through his coaching over the
last year and a half, I added thousands of dollars in income to my
business. Over $2000 in just a few months with one tip I learned
at June's Marketing Funnel Mastery event. Find out more -

minutes to an hour a day, and no more!
5 Tips For Success on Facebook
How many times does it happen to you? You get a random friend
request from someone you don't know; they have a picture of their
dog; their wall is blocked from the public view and they don't send
a personal message saying why they want to be friends?
ARGH!?! What is up with that?
Please don't tell me you do it! And, if you do, and you just didn't
know, take these tips to heart and you'll quickly find that your
time spent on Facebook and other Social Media sites is much more
productive!
Facebook and Social Media sites are NOT the place for Drive By
connections! If you want to use Facebook successfully for your
business, here are 5 key tips for making real connections with
people.
1. Send a personal message
2. Use your REAL picture
3. Invest time in making sure you are networking with people
who share your values
4. Keep your wall clean
5. Engage regularly
Tip #1 - Send a personal message. If you don't really know someone,
and you want them to accept you as a friend, take the time to make
some type of connection for them. Tell them why you are requesting
their friendship; tell them who and/or what you have in common;
share something about them that makes you interested in not just
adding them to your "posse" but connecting with and getting to know
them.
Tip #2 - Use a real picture. You've probably heard this before, but
is it called FACEBOOK for a reason. I don't know about you, but I
have no interest in connecting with someone's dog or bottle of
juice in cyberspace. That's not a connection. You don't have to be
a supermodel; but you do want to be smiling; dressed appropriately;
and preferably by yourself in the picture so we know with whom we
are accepting a connection.
Tip #3 - Invest time in making sure you are networking with people
who share your values. Personally, I check out the profile and wall
of everyone who makes a friend request, and of those who I make
friend requests of. I'm not interested in profanity, your politics
(within reason) or how wasted you got in Vegas last weekend. And, I
am not interested in your Farmville, Mafia wars or Blingie things
either. What things will I see immediately on your wall or profile
that let me know we have things in common?
Tip #4 - Keep your wall clean. People will make an immediate
judgment and evaluation of you within seconds of landing on your
wall. What impression do you want them to make? If it's filled with
nothing but opportunity ads and game scores, what do you suppose
that perception is going to be? Your wall represents you, every bit
as much if not more than your picture. Visit your wall regularly
and make sure it is "representing" well for you and that others
aren't cluttering it up, either.
Tip #5 - Engage regularly. Adding a "friend" is one thing;
developing a friendship is another. Make it a point to get to know
people. Send a personal message; visit the profiles of friends
regularly and just say hi; start a conversation; get to know them.
Your goal in social media marketing is to stand out from the crowd;
to be memorable; even more, to become unforgettable! This is done
by having a voice and engaging it with others!
Facebook is an amazing tool for finding others; connecting and
developing your business when used correctly. I hope these tips
have been useful.
