Facebook Marketing- 6 techniques that work!

8 replies
These techniques will work for anyone who wants to implement them properly, my only warning to everyone is do not over-use any of these techniques. You will get kicked off of Facebook if you appear to be spamming. Spread out your actions so that you appear to be a normal person trying to connect with friends. Your goal will be to get massive exposure, but you want to make certain you go about getting that exposure without upsetting the natural order of Facebook's rules and regulations.


As we all know, Facebook is one of the largest social networking sites on the internet, making it a great place to build your business for free. Some of the techniques I'm using on Facebook are phenomenal, and have started to generate hundreds of dollars a week for me! Remember while marketing here, your main goal is to generate traffic for your website, however, you want to do it in an unobtrusive manner. You don't want to seem desperate to people, and you don't want to bother people with your business either. The key to your success on Facebook or any avenue of marketing, is to promote yourself as a leader, and build a following! Here are 6 of the best ways I've found to build quality relationships and traffic to your website using Facebook!


1-Website or blog link- Obviously your end goal is to have traffic to your website or blog, and there are some very key places to post your links on your profile for maximum exposure. There is an area below your profile picture where you can write something about yourself, and this is one of the first spots someone will look after they look at your picture! As well, looking down a little further, there is an information section, and you want to make sure that your website is added to that section.


2-Friend adding- This is a very touchy subject. Some people will tell you to add 30-50 friends per day, and do it all in one sitting. I can tell you from personal experience, that this will get you kicked off of facebook faster than you can blink. Although it is great to build a huge list, that list really won't matter unless you have a quality relationship with the individuals on it. My suggestion would be to add around 5-10 friends per day, and make atleast 5 of them quality connections right away. Find common interests or struggles with those people so that you can truly connect, and they will want to talk with you and open up to you!


3-Wall Posts- When you're connecting with people, and you want to introduce yourself or respond to something they've said to you or someone else, a great way to do this is through a wall post. When you make a post on someone's wall, not only will they be able to view it, but all of their friends will also be able to view it. This technique can be one of the most effective techniques if used properly, because it is viral. I'm not suggesting that you go around posting on everyone's wall like crazy, however, when you have something of quality to share with someone, feel free to share it with everyone.

    The best method that has worked for me in facebook is 'facebook ads'. Made $323 with a $11 ad spend. And the cool part was that I was targeting South Africa (US clicks are too dear).

    I gave it a break despite the crazy returns because they are too tough on the way your ads are written.

      That's what I've heard from a lot of people about facebook ads, which makes sense. Facebook is strict about everything else, so why would they allow us networkers to advertise our businesses openly.

    I generally use FB for personal stuff. I don't mind when business and marketing folks friend me, but one thing that will get you on autoban from me is if you request me as a friend, and then immediately fire off a message or wall post that promotes your stupid MLM or business thing. I will block your a$$ with prejudice and add you to my ongoing note, the Facebook Spamming Intrusive Idiot Marketer Hall Of Shame, so that others can see your ignorant marketing practices.

    People that treat sites like Facebook as a one-way broadcast billboard opportunity are not much better than email spam marketers, and are missing the point (and the real opportunities) in their idiotic, failing approach.

    I am friends on Facebook with several major "guru" marketers, and I can tell you that NONE of them use Facebook in a spammy, idiotic fashion.

    hmmmmm

      I've added my blogs onto my Facebook profile and that's about it. I agree with Michael. I think if you use Facebook for personal reasons people will be curious and click on your links anyway.

      The general bod in the street is becoming wise to spammy Facebook accounts and can spot them a mile away. I think if you just be yourself and add value to the community you'll get a decent amount of clickthroughs anyway without the need to spam.
