Network Marketing Facebook Basic
Just creating a profile is simply not the end to the Facebook style of launching and capitalizing on any endeavor. It entails much more than simply this and the following are some points to consider:
The Basics
After creating a
suitable profile the continuous step of ensuring the line of communication is
kept open at all times is important. Positioning the business platform and staying in touch with the viewers
will give the site the exposure it needs.
Unfortunate but all so true is the fact that the eye makes judgments’ long before the actual material is examined therefore
presenting a pleasing file picture is very important as is the follow up
information featured.
This is the one chance the posting has to attract
the viewer within the very slim window of opportunity.
The wall is the
main platform of interaction thus the need to post relevant and interesting content.
Keeping this light and entertaining will help to keep viewers
come back for more.
However constant
alerts may cause
an annoyance so striking a comfortable balance is important.
Society now is predominantly more attracted to visual stimulation and this is further
broken down into the popular viewing of pictures and photos and other similar
platforms when compared to the written word.
Therefore there is a need to explore the possibility of offering a well designed pictorial viewing that will help
to enhance the viewer’s experience.
Getting into a Facebook
group is also another way to create
interest in the endeavor
being promoted as those within the group are usually like minded or connected
to the posting in a more personal way.
Being able to
identify with the other party that is part of the interaction is simply
something that is considered normal and in fact comfortable, therefore choosing or creating a suitable yet attention
grabbing profile and appropriate picture to be featured is very important.
The Way You Present
Yourself
The following
are some of the reasons
as to why this may be considered necessary by most:
• As everyone
wants to make a good first impression this choice should
be given due consideration and be well thought of.
The profile picture says a lot about the individual without even having
to actually view the written
material posted therefore it is very important to capture the attention of the viewer at
the very onset of viewing the profile picture. As this profile picture will be
viewed by anyone and everyone the choice made must be one that the host is comfortable with. However there is always
the option available to change
it periodically though
unless this is an expected
trait of the host it may end
up causing more confusion than interest.
• Featuring
other elements like logos is also a good idea if the said logo is self
descriptive or well known; otherwise this is not a good item to use on the profile. Unrecognizable elements usually
do not command as much attention as recognizable ones.
• Keeping the
profile picture as simple as possible is also advised as that the element of
easy recognition and connections is evident. Thought the element of consistency is sometimes considered boring it can also contribute positively when the profile picture is easily
recognized.
• The profile
picture chosen should
in some way impression upon the viewer
the type of endeavor about to
be viewed. Therefore it is prudent to judge carefully the perception that the
choice will create and eventually the appropriate choice will be made.
Being designed
as a social networking site, Facebook encourages the networking between
old and newly found friends to add to the list, for the purpose of sharing
information, news and other happenings.
People You Understand
Perhaps the first step would be to log on to the Facebook
entity to start the search for either old, lost connections or
find and make new connections.
Going to the “my friends” page will allow
the individual the opportunity to have a quick view of the lists of current
friends and some details about them.
Also accessing
the “friend finder”
tab or “search your address
book” will allow
for the contact details to be
viewed. When all the relevant details are correctly entered the individual’s
email and password will be able to get the contacts from Hotmail, AOL, Gmail,
MSN and Yahoo in the drop down menu phase.
Upon clicking
the page featuring the external address book specification will be visible and this will include even those already
recorded as friends
on Facebook.
The final step
would be to then click on those that interest the individual to be requested as friends, upon which the receiving party will either
decline or accept
the promoting, and respond accordingly.
Once the contact list is made available, writing
posting that is individual and personal
in its style rather that one format fits all is a more professional way on
initiating contact. This individualistic design will help to create the sense
of sincerity and honesty. When some form of acknowledgement is evident,
thanking the other party for the response is equally important.
Also to be included
for maximum social
marketing exposure is the posting
of material that includes the
websites, twitter account, links and any other self explanatory platforms used
for the furtherance of the endeavor being touted.
Sometimes mere
written descriptions of something will not work as effectively as actually having
the visual picture
of it. Therefore the use of photo albums and videos
can be quite useful in getting the desired message across to the viewers.
Posting these on Facebook
usually contributes to all the members of the group being able to view and comment on the material being
posted.
Add Extra Material
This is especially important if the material
intended for posting
is also something
that is meant to be shared with a certain target audience. There is also
the element of convenience whereby all the members of the target audience is
unable to view the material at the same time, thus facilitating and catering to
this is where the use of photo albums and videos play a part.
Below is a step by step menu on how to feature
the photo or video on
Facebook:
• Clicking on the video icon or photo icon on the publisher at the top of
the group wall is the first step.
• Then the photo should
be taken or the video
loading started.
• For the photo then posing and following the onscreen instructions while for the video the click should be done on the
choose file icon.
• Adding a comment to the photo or navigating the video to the select click and do
so.
• The last step would be to select share and this would bring the posting
to the target audience intended.
This form of posting
is definitely beneficial as it can be considered comparatively cost effective as most of the elements involved do
no really require expert involvement.
Using this
method to get the service or product recognized by the target audience will eventually help to create the awareness needed to elevate
the revenue earning process.
The probability of being able to boost productively is also evident
while engaging, educating and
selling to the target audience is achieved.
The creation of the
fan pages basically allows for the posting
of a separate page for the
purpose of facilitating connections between interested parties where information on the latest updates and
news can be shared and discussed.
Fan Pages
This social
media too has been able to create the desired effect where other tools have less successful results.
Using the fan page effectively is also just as important as the material being featured
thus the following guide may prove to be useful:
• The first
step would be to start the fan page with the effectively designed photos or
logos about the business matter
intended to be established. Then adding the contact
details of the business to ensure it is reachable in both online and offline circumstances.
• Then the exercise of adding friends
and inviting existing
customers and prospects to become part of the fan page
through links. Once this is achieved to the desired effect then period engagements must be made with the
viewing parties. These can take the
form of posting new and interesting information or simply engaging in a
discussion of the material posted.
• Running
other interactive platforms such as asking questions, conducting surveys or
simply enquiring as to the likes and dislikes or even requirements of the
viewing set. Functioning as a somewhat
free and non committing market survey it can be an
exciting way to grow that online business venture. This information gathered
can then be used to further improve of what is currently being offered or
featured.
The idea behind the whole exercise
is to encourage and build
a strong following to the fan page by using all the above different incentives.
Constantly encouraging the
visitors to become actively participative
will also help to eventually create the excitement element
that will draw attention to the site. This will then contribute to the possible
elevation of revenue possibilities.
Facebook has
over time been able to establish itself as a power to be recon with when it
comes to getting information to the masses. The host of different elements that can effectively be posted and viewed on Facebook has taken many endeavors
to higher achieving heights. Almost anything can be effectively promoted.
Using and benefiting from
Events
There is really no need to promote
only events that have exact tangible locations
and time lines. The Facebook
listed events can also be virtual events as it is able to draw
the intended target audience just as effectively.
Perhaps the
important guideline to follow would be to make the posting as attention
grabbing as possible to ensure
the desired outcome.
Below are some of the reasons
why one should consider using these hosting style events to optimize exposure:
• The reach
is limitless when using the events posted on Facebook to get the event noticed. Being able to extend the invitation at the click of
an icon and also to be able to add on as and when desired is not
possible with other conventional tools. Also being able to add more admits to
the event and invite anyone and everyone is definitely beneficial.
• Another contribution this tool can commit to is the easy way it can get an overview
of the participants and the capacity anticipated.
• It’s also easier to spread the message and communicate to all connected through a single platform effortlessly. Using
other complimenting tools like the wall, discussion boards, links,
add videos and photos also help to further enhance
the communicating possibilities.
One should also note that it may not always be possible to use the Facebook as an
ideal way to get events noticed. One of the contributing reasons maybe that
there are some people who either don’t bother with their Facebook tool or they
simply don’t have one.
Therefore there may be a need to have emails accompanying the Facebook posting.
Anything
exclusive has its positive and negative connective results, therefore it is
important to understand the fundamentals that affect such results and then decide
if a particular style is suited for a particular endeavor. The use of
exclusive landing pages is no exception.
Your Business Pages
Most landing
pages on the Facebook tool helps to create interest in the viewers or fans in order to convert them into being firm fans and this not only raise the fan base listings but also create enough
revenue through these interests.
Instead of
directly exposing the wall to the viewer one can make a more appealing reach by providing a well designed
landing page which
is attention grabbing
which in turn will be able to
hold the attention of the visitor.
There has been verified
statistics to prove that landing
pages have generated more fans in terms of speed and growth when compared to other
tools on the internet marketing arena.
Having landing pages that are exclusive in nature is also beneficial when the idea behind the posting is to not have it “littered” all over the internet thus causing over exposure.
This style of
landing pages also creates a sense of exclusivity for the invited guest which in turn most of the time ensures
the positive participation of the intended target audience.
Also because the message style
is almost always
of a singular nature there is little need to have confusing and overly
enthusiastic postings.
Using the positive
elements of the exclusive landing
page will also help to fine tune the different channels of the
possible multiple traffic sources.
The different sources of traffic
from the exclusive landing page posting
may include emails, Ad words,
affiliate links, banner placement and others. Using an exclusive landing page
is also easier as it does not hamper or cause designing conflicts.
An important
part of keeping the loyal element alive and growing lies in the incentives given
out as rewards to this perpetual commitment. Using loyalty to gain and keep the business endeavor
successful is important; therefore designing attractive rewards for these loyal
supporters is well worth the innovative thought process and effort.
Keep Them Coming Back
The following
are some of the more common and rather attractive rewards that most sites use for the reward programs for
loyal customers:
• The offer
of exclusive discounts, coupons and content material is considered among the most desirable and effective. Tying
discounts to other
engaging activities will also
help to generate interest, revenue and even “free” advertising.
• Using low cost applications to create custom fan only accessible material
will also create the necessary
incentives that works as effective rewards too. This style of rewards is
especially enticing because it gives the recipient a sense of exclusivity that
is probably unmatched.
• Giving back is another
concept that is much appreciated by loyal fan based visitors. The idea that their
contributions are being acknowledged in the form of specially designed rewards
is indeed special and thoughtful.
• Designing
the rewards to reflect the fact that their contributions are not only important but are also seriously considered for the opinions
and feedbacks posted will ensure further long term support. Building the special
rapport is a very big and
important part of heightening the loyalty percentages.
• Sometimes taking
it a notch higher in the exclusivity platform also brings about
a pleasant surprise for the fan that is being honored
in an exclusive way. This would mean actually featuring the loyal fan by perhaps
posting an interview with the said
fan where the entire content of the post is about the fan’s loyal contribution. This sort of
exclusive recognition is beneficial to both parties and to the viewing audience
at large.
Among the many tools
for internet marketing
one will find the Facebook
marketplace and plugins. These tools have their own individual merits
that are worth understanding and exploring for the purpose of optimizing on the
exposure they can effective provide.
PlugIns And Tools
Marketplace is basically a platform for buying, selling
and generally the exchange of a variety of entities within the safety
of known participants.
This platform
of trusted and recognizable participants allows for the controlled
environment to be less likely to have negative connotations affixed to the transactions.
The easily line
of messaging friends and sellers and buyers about possible transactions is both a welcomed and desired element.
These transactions can also
be done on behalf of trusted parties with the same positive results.
Another interesting feature offered by this marketplace tool is the facilitation of being
able to support charities with a percentage of the transaction revenue earned.
This support for charities can usually generate more revenue as others become
interested in being part of the process for creating the revenue.
Facebook social
plug-in is another tool for quick and easy avenues to extend the reach and connection between
the website visitor
and the host for comfortable and beneficial interaction.
This sharing of information content will be instrumental in driving the desired percentage of traffic to the website being featured thus gaining more ways to keep track of the ongoing activities and exchanges.
