Whenever a new social networking site pops up, people sprint to it as quickly as possible thinking that just by being one of the first they will generate leads. However, before you jump on the bandwagon you should know how to harness its power so you can beat everyone at their own game. Today I'm going show you ten hot social networking secrets that will work for ALL social networking sites that will make lead generation feel like shooting fish in a barrel. 1. Tell your personal story on your profile page avoid putting up a bunch of content about your business or your products. People want to see the REAL you, so open up and get comfy. When people visit your profile they want to learn more about you, not your business. Plus writing something personal will give them something they can connect with. 2. Join specific groups that are targeted for your business this is where you can begin to identify your target audience. You can do a search in the sites group section using your target keywords to find them and you will want to join them all. More on that in a moment. 3. Now that you have joined a few groups it's time to start bringing some real value by writing some content. People are always looking for help, tips, tricks and other creative ideas to help generate leads. Be consistent with your writing and make it compelling. 4. Post your content on all the groups that you belong to not everyone that is part of one group belongs to all the others, so make sure to spread your knowledge around in mass. 5. Follow up on EVERY comment posted to your article when someone takes the Hint: when you get up to about 10 comments, your readership DOUBLES. So, help those numbers rise by commenting behind everyone. 6. Connect with the people who have made comments. Go to their profiles and request to be their friend. This is a great step at gaining trust and developing an avid readership. Its better to have added value to someone first which proves to them you are someone they should connect with. Send another private note thanking them for their feedback and requesting to become friends. 80% of the people will connect with you. 7. Although most people think the most important thing is to have a huge group of friends, you should only accept friend requests if they are relevant to the purpose of your business. You will get tons of random people trying to connect with you, but don't accept them just to build up your friend list. Remember, youre there to market your business to a targeted audience, and you want to keep your friend inventory as pure as possible. 8. A great way to keep in front of people in your groups is to make comments on other people's discussion topics. Simply post a few lines in support of the content, praise the writer, and thats it. At the end of your comment, make sure to ONLY sign your name and maybe use a link to your website. Dont try to sell. It's important to be consistent with this as well. Set a daily goal on how many comments you want to make and stick to it. 9. Survey your friends to find out what their needs are and meet them once per week, send out information to your friends that are more targeted to their specific needs, and soft promote your site. Now youre starting to drive traffic outside of your articles! 10. At least twice per month, send an invitation to participate in an event thats not part of the community youve been adding value to them so this is a comfortable and acceptable approach to promoting your business. If you were doing this step on the front end, it would not work. Remember, its always about adding value up front, not about selling your MLM business. Give enough of yourself in the right way, and people will attach themselves to you like groupies. I guess that makes you an internet rock star, right? Not bad!
