5 Tips to Creating Buzz for your Business Using Facebook

If you have not yet joined in with the worldwide phenomenon that has become Facebook, you are behind the trend. While the site originally was developed to act as a social networking site, businesses have quickly determined ways to leverage this high traffic site to grow their MLM businesses and other online or offline businesses. One of the most powerful benefits of leveraging a social networking platform to build your MLM business is that it has viral potential.

Viral marketing presents the opportunity for a brand or business campaign to be quickly passed from person to person across the Internet. Which tips are useful in working to create this effect for your MLM business?

Use Forced Invites

While this tactic is not recommended for all business owners due to its ‘salesy’ approach, it has shown potential for a number of businesses online.

Invite in High Quantities

When possible, invite as many people per day as you can to view your profile. Facebook has put a limit of 10 per day on this technique, so it is important that you use them, so that you don’t lose the opportunity. For example, you can invite 70 people per week, but if you miss a day, it drops by 10. As we all know, a major component to the MLM business is high traffic so that you can convert potential customers and potential new downline members. Take every opportunity that you have to gain new business, including maximizing this portion of Facebook. To add to the number of people that view your information, be creative with a way to ask those invitees to invite their friends and other network contacts as a referral for your website.

Create and Use a Newsfeed

Regular online users are familiar with newsfeeds and they use them to get their desired information on a daily basis. Newsfeeds are a great way to send updated information to readers and potentially to have viral properties. If the information that someone receives is valuable, it could get passed and passed on to others, helping you to build your potential lead base.

Giveaways

People have always loved giveaways; something for nothing is a great way to attract new prospects on Facebook. Consider free ebooks, reports, links, resources and anything else of value that someone reading would want. Instantly, you could have a new lead for your MLM business.

Talk with People Directly

Schedule a part of every day to work on reaching out to new people on Facebook. Build relationships with individuals who over time may join your groups online and who may potentially find their way to your company website.

These are just a few Facebook marketing techniques that will help you to build your MLM business.
