subject: Start Marketing On Myspace And Facebook The Right Way
[print this page] I hear people say all of the time that marketing on Myspace and Facebook suck. They tell me that it isn't worth the time and effort. They also tell me that they don't want to do any black hat techniques.
I say, that's fine. You don't have to do any black hat techniques and you don't have to put your time and effort into tasks that aren't bearing any fruits.
The problem that these people are having is that they are clouded by the quick dollar signs. They want to make everything, right now. Well, no one makes it all right now. It takes time to build.
You have to set yourself up for success before you achieve the ultimate pinnacle of success. Why do athletes train day and night? They don't train to win today, they train so they can win tomorrow and the day after and the day after that.
The reason that these sites are so powerful is because you can use them to set yourself up for future success. Use them to network!
I can't tell you how many people that I have networked with, using these sites. You can set up joint ventures, you can gather affiliates, you can set up groups and e-mail them information etc.
The reason why these sites are so effective for this is because how personal they are. Think about this. If you meet someone on a forum, you can get to know them, but it's harder.
For one, they probably don't fill out their private information, on a forum. They probably don't have a picture of themselves, they probably aren't even using their real name.
When it comes to Facebook, people have a lot of their personal information. They usually have a picture, if not many pictures of themselves. They might have their location, address, phone number etc.
In turn, you can have all of your own pictures and contact information. They will open up to you way quicker than they would to someone that is just another member of a forum.
Relationships are everything when it comes to Internet Marketing. You can be successful without them, but if you want to be really successful and take your business to the next level, they are absolutely vital. You better go out and start networking and making strong relationships that you can build upon for years and years. Start using Facebook for your marketing efforts and you wont regret it.
