Free Internet Marketing

Social networking is one of the most effective Internet Marketing techniques and, what’s more, it is absolutely free! Never before has it been so easy do drive traffic to your websites and build your list without spending a penny.

Nowadays there are dozens of Social Networking sites around but there are two that stand out from the crowd. They are Twitter and Facebook. These are the most popular social networking sites by far. There are around 15 million people on Twitter and 65 million people on Facebook.

This means then that you are sure to find a large enough amount of people that will be interested in your product/home business opportunity no matter how niche it is!

The key to social networking effectively and making money online is to target specific people and ensure they buy from you. The following  top tips will show you how.

Tip Number One

Make sure your account or profile reflects the business you are involved with and who you are.

Tip Number Two

Have a bio about yourself and tie it in with what particular niche you are involved with. If you’re an Internet Marketer, tell the viewer how you first got involved with Internet Marketing.

Tip Number Three

Make your profile/account personal. You can do this by including pictures of yourself and family and friends. As soon as a viewer visits your profile they will see you are a real person and not some spamming robot!

Tip Number Four

Have links to your sites on your profile. To do this on Facebook and Twitter, have the links in your About Me section and leave them whenever you update your status. This way your friends or followers on the social networking sites can easily find out more about you and your product.

Tip Number Five

Connect with new visitors and friends straight away. You do this by drafting up a generic email and sending it to any new social networking friends. Introduce yourself, let them know how you can benefit them and what product or home business you’re involved with. Then ask to hear more about that person, which will lead to most people replying as you’ve asked to hear from them.

Tip Number Six

Frequently update your status with helpful information. For example, I’m an Internet marketer so I continually give people access to helpful information on Internet marketing techniques. It might be a free report by myself or a link to a helpful website. By helping others you will become a leader and people looking to get into internet marketing will want to join into a leaders business as they can show them the way to success.

Tip Number Seven

Add targeted people. On both Twitter and FaceBook, you can search for keywords that appear on other people’s profiles. If you are promoting a dog food product, search the word “dog” this will bring up a list of people who have “dog” appear on their profile so are likely to either be dog lovers or owners. These are people you want to add as they are targeted.

Summary

With social networking the key point is to keep it up; you have to continually add more people to your social networking sites if you are to drive large numbers of potential buyers to your sites. An important point to bear in mind though, is to limit the number of people you add on Facebook to twenty a day and the number of people you add on Twitter to two hundred a day.
