How to Grow Your Network Marketing Business with Facebook

Author: Ted Hunsaker

Facebook marketing is a great way to grow your network marketing business if it is done correctly and on a daily basis. Depending on your time schedule, you should spend about an hour or two a day on Facebook. This time should be spent adding friends and writing on their walls. You can also write on walls of network marketing groups. You should not advertise your primary business on Facebook since no one cares about your primary business. You should just provide value and build relationships with people.

Your Facebook marketing game plan should start out with adding about 30 friends per day from a home based business related group. You don’t want to add more than 30 friends since you want to build a relationship with the friends you add on Facebook. If you use an automated friend adding tool such as Facebook Friend Blaster, which I don’t recommend, you will quickly reach the 5,000 Facebook friend cap and you will not be able to add any more friends. You want to have friends that are serious network marketers. You don't want to add people that are not serious network marketers or not network marketers at all. you want to be selective when adding friends.

When adding friends you should send them a short message. You will usually get a better response rate if you send them a message. Here is an example of a message that you could use:

Hi First Name

I saw you in the _________ group. I am into mlm and looking to meet and network with new people. Feel free to check out my profile and add me as a friend

Your Name

Shortly after they accept your friend request, you should write a short message on their wall thanking them for accepting your request and showing that you are interested in them and what they do. You can also post a 20-30 second welcome video on their wall which you can record from your web cam. You should do the same thing when people add you as a friend.

You should also join several popular network marketing related groups. members of those groups will also add you as a friend since they will see you in those groups. You should post valuable content on three group walls a day. Don’t try to pitch your primary business since that is considered spamming.

One final marketing strategy you could use is start a network marketing related group. This is a great way to position yourself as a leader and build trust and relationships with your prospects. When you have a group, you appear to be an expert to other Facebook users. They assume that you know what you are doing and know how to use Facebook. When you start a group, you can invite all your friends and message the group members about new information.
