Is it the best way ever to grow your fan base the fastest?
Hi, Max here. From my researches and investigations I'm sure now that the most effective way to build a huge high quality fan base super fast is through cross promotion. On every social media platform you use for marketing you must have a team of like minded people, your marketing peers who help you grow your presence there and get the same help from you in return.
For example, you have a team of 10 people in Google+, each one is in the same number of circles as you, all belong to your marketing niche. You publish your own post and reshare 10 posts of theirs as your status updates broadcast to your circles, in return you have your post reshared to their circles. Let's say you are in 1,000 circles, each of them too, you're getting exposure in 11k circles!
Now, on Twitter, let's assume you have 1,000 followers and a team of 10 people who have the same number of followers each. You make your own tweet and retweet 10 tweets from their streams, in return each of them retweet your tweet to their streams. You're getting exposure in front of 11k followers. A percentage of their followers will follow you too. A percentage of your followers will follow them too but it doesn't mean you'll lose them.
On Facebook, you have a page with 1,000 fans, you exchange posts with 10 people who have the same number of fans and get your posts seen by 11k fans total. This method seems to be also applicable to friends if your and their friends are business contacts, not relatives, dating partners or something of the kind.
As to Linkedin it works especially awesome. You can exchange status updates there too. Their business contacts will convert into your business contacts. But moreover, you can find people who participate in the groups you're not accepted to. They will post your content there for you if you post their content for them to the groups you belong to! You save each other time and get access to the places which are normally locked for you.
OK, it's time to make even bigger numbers with this strategy. Don't overwhelm your social media accounts with too much information submitted everyday. Your updates will lose their effect if there are too much of them, your followers and fans will be overloaded with your content and tired of you. Be careful. So, sharing 10 tweets from your team of 10 people + 1 tweet from you = 11 tweets per day looks like enough for me ( what do you think? More? ). Therefore, to be able to achieve more exposure, traffic and leads - create multiple accounts in social media.
Create second account on Twitter. Build another team of 10 people to grow your second fan base there. Double your results. Create third account - triple your results. Make sure every team includes unique people. So tripling your results having 1,000 followers on each of your three accounts and 3 teams of 10 people each with 1,000 followers every single teammate has your tweet will be exposed to 33,000 audience! You can hire a virtual assistant who will create a couple accounts, team up with your marketing peers and tweet / retweet for you.
The same way you can make multiple pages on Facebook and team up with more people.
I don't know if you can have multiple accounts on Linkedin. Is it allowed? Please reply if you know. I heard you can't create more than one account on G+ (really?) but... you can create multiple pages and exchange page posts to grow page followers!
Of course, there are some tips and tricks to keep in mind. For instance, check the fans and followers of the person you wanna be in your team. He or she could have an audience of bots. Don't partner with posting addicts who shoot out tons of profile updates per day, your posts will immediately sink down in his or her stream. Thoroughly track results you receive from your teammates. There could be people whose profiles perform weak for your marketing. Replace that person with someone else. What else would you recommend to make things go better?
Before you start making teams be sure to have at least 1k followers on Twitter, 1k fans on Facebook, get into 1k circles, etc. Just because your fan base should represent value and opportunities to the marketers you gonna partner with, otherwise nobody's gonna be interested. Make sure your fan base is 1,000,000 percent human and active!
