Read on to get some Facebook marketing tips that will assure you success and stop you from annoying people.
Stop walking around like a billboard
Think about it. What is Facebook? It is no different to a club or a party. A place to meet new people.
Have you really thought about your Facebook marketing strategy before you started marketing on Facebook? Or did you just jump in like everyone else and started adding friends like mad? Inviting them to be friends and then stuffing a business card in their hand in exchange for saying yes to your request to be a friend?
It would be annoying to go to a real party with a billboard around your neck advertising your business - it is simply not done. You will be tagged as weird and everyone will avoid this strange person at the party. It is sad that in the online world we continually do what we will perceive as strange in the real world -we talk about our businesses all the time to everyone even if we have just met them. This is appalling but happening daily on Twitter and Facebook and other social media sites. We teach our downlines to do the same and to hunt down new friends only to hand our business cards to them. Take off the advertising board on your back and be a real friend and leader.
Build relationships and connect
In reality people use Facebook to connect with people that interest them. They do not care about your business and they do not want anyone to sell them business opportunities all the time. The truth is unless they know you, the will not care about you or about what you have to say. They choose to connect with people that they find interesting. Leaders attract followers to them naturally - this is normal human pshychology. A leader is different, adds value and stands out from the crowd.
Use Facebook to promote YOU as the leader you ARE and show the value you have to offer. But be real and be a real person. Let attraction marketing principles attract real prospects to you.
