Facebook marketing strategies are posted all over the internet. So many people want to use Facebook to market their businesses but they don't know where to start and get confused by all the different options. In the following article you are going to learn how to follow a SIMPLE Facebook Marketing Strategy that is proven to get results in the first 24 hours.
This is the exact Facebook marketing strategy I used to make over $1300 in 24 hours within my first 90 days online.
First what you need to do before you start this Facebook marketing strategy is ensure that your Facebook profile is suitable for business. You should have a clear and recent photo of your self as your profile picture, make sure your photo albums that can be viewed by friends are suitable (no drunken nights out!) and show you having fun on vacation, with family etc.
Ensure that your information page on Facebook has your phone number, email address and skype/aim/msn details so that people can get in touch. Do NOT put your affiliate links or business opportunity links in your profile. The method of marketing we are teaching you is going to have people coming to YOU asking you to buy from you or join your business. By putting your sign up/retail link in your profile you will only make people think that you are desperate for business.
By all means include links to your blog and other social media profiles but only if they provide value for your viewers and not just product promotion...but you do not even need a website to use this Facebook marketing strategy, that's how POWERFUL it is!
Next step is to up set a Facebook fan page. The benefits of a fan page are that you can mass contact all your fans using the Facebook messaging service. This is something that is not allowed through profiles. Another benefit of using a fan page for marketing is that you can make a landing page with an opt in form so that visitors can claim a f gift from you for becoming a fan. If you do not know how to set up a fan page there's a great free tutorial at the end of this article, just click "Free 5 Day Success Formula".
Once you have set up your basic fan page, you need to add a photo. Again this should be a happy, clear and recent photo of yourself.
Next click the "suggest to friends" link under your photo so that you can recommend that your friends become fans of your page.
Once you have set up your profile and fan page you can start the Facebook marketing strategy below. If you prefer to see this in more depth in video you can get the 5 Day Success Formula at the end of this article which goes into more detail.
Here are the steps you should be taking DAILY to create a massive following and steady stream of leads for your business -
1. Join as many groups as possible related to your target audience. A great tool for finding groups on Facebook is called "Advanced Search 2.2 Beta" which allows you to search for groups by size and keyword. Search for Facebook groups where people you want to expose to your business will be hanging out. A great group I use for meeting people in home based businesses is called "Network Marketing Rockstars".
2. Start to add friends from these groups. Request 5-10 per day. If Facebook asks you to confirm that you know someone by clicking the "Yes I Know Mr. X". Do NOT click it. Facebook has detected that you have been adding too many friends and you need to take a break for 24 hours before resuming. Be sure to add a personal message in your friend request telling that person why you would like to network with them. Do NOT include links in the friend request. This is a sure-fire way to annoy Facebook and is not good marketing practice. Build relationships first, then approach people with your product or opportunity.
3. Create a piece of content on your fan page daily. This could be a video, note, inspiring quote. The purpose of this is to give VALUE to people in your target market NOT make a sale. When you start producing content it makes you look like an EXPERT in your area. Who would you rather do business with - an expert or a pushy sales person? Exactly. Keep it informative and people will naturally flock to you. If your content is good, people will also share your content with their friends of Facebook, Twitter, Digg etc. further increasing exposure.
4. Post the link to your content on at least 20 groups per day. Make sure you include a link to your fan page in everything you post so that people can find out more about you. The more you post, the more people will add you as a friend and want to know more about your business.
5. Send a message to every person that adds you as a friend on Facebook and start conversations with them. Find out about them and build a relationship. Soon you will have 60+ friend requests a day so this is a VERY important part of this strategy and means that people will start sharing your content and recommending you to others. Do not neglect this part just because it seems too simple. It is VERY POWERFUL.
6. Now make sure you regularly contact your fans with updates and valuable information. Use your fan page to ask fans questions and encourage interaction. Host regular events and invite them. Do competitions and offers for fans only. Focus on making your fan page a source of information and it will grow out of control (remember to continue doing all other steps daily).
If you take serious action and apply the above steps you WILL see results. In fact, with my team we usually see people get about 15-30 leads per day within just 3 weeks of starting this strategy!
