Facebook marketing is a great way to grow your network marketing business if it is done the right way and on a consistent 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 walls of friends and groups. You should not market your primary business on Facebook since no one cares about your primary business. You should just build relationships and provide value to people.

Your Facebook marketing game plan should start out with adding between 20-30 friends per day from a network marketing related group.  You don’t want to add more than 30 friends since you want to build a relationship with the friends you add. If you use an automated friend adding tool, which I don’t recommend, you will quickly reach the 5,000 Facebook friend limit. You want to have quality of friends over quantity of friends.

When adding friends you should send them a brief 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 a network marketer looking to meet and network with new people. Feel free to check out my profile and add me as a friend

Your Name

When they accept your friend request, you should write on their wall thanking them for accepting your request and showing that you are interested in them. 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 some large network marketing related groups. People from those groups will also add you as a friend since they will see you in those groups. You should post valuable information on three group walls a day. Don’t try to sell your primary business or spam.

One last marketing strategy you could do is start a network marketing related group. This is a great way to brand yourself as a leader and build relationships and trust 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 important updates.

I hope you have learned some valuable information about some of the powerful Facebook Marketing Strategies you could use when marketing on Facebook to grow your primary business.

I just started a network marketing blog because I realized the benefits that blogs have for network marketers. Blogging is crucial if you are a network marketer and want to make it big in network marketing.

One of the most important benefits of having a blog, especially for short-term purposes, is to provide a “safe” place for your prospects to visit. You will build trust with your prospects since they will read the valuable content that you post and read about you. They will get to know you better and more likely put their contact information in your opt in form.

Your blog will also brand and position you as an expert since you will be posting valuable content for your visitors. Branding is the image you put out to the market. Its the difference between looking like a professional and having a real business verses looking like you don’t know what you are doing. Your blog will position yourself as an expert in the network marketing industry. It is just like going to a bookstore and reading a well written book. They see that author as an expert. The same thing applies to having a good blog.

The third reason for having a blog is to amplify your list building efforts. Since your blog will provide a “Safe” Place where you can gain your prospect’s trust, brand you as a professional and position you as an expert, you will get a lot more leads, especially from the social networks. On social networks like Facebook and Twitter, you don’t want to send people to a lead capture page. Sending people to a blog is much more effective since they will learn more about you and see what kind of leader and expert your are.

The fourth benefit is that your blog will build equity for you. Over time, you will build up a lot of content. If you post an article once a week or even every day, for a year, you will have hundreds of articles full of valuable content and your blog will have higher search engine rankings. This means more traffic, leads and sign ups for your network marketing business.
