A lot of internet marketers are told that FaceBook is a great way to increase their earnings.  Do you have an account yet?  If you do, you might not be doing much with it because you’re not sure how to capitalise on FaceBook. Here are some helpful tips for you:

Internet Marketing With FaceBook

-Targeted FaceBook ads.  By doing ads for your product or service, FaceBook will match it contextually to let people who show an interest in your keyword see your ad.

-Create a group about your product or service and people will join. You’ll post interesting information about that topic and have discussions on the group about it.  Occasional links or product launches on the group could work well in your favour. Don’t make it just about the linking though, offer valuable information and socialise in order to build online friendships which make people more receptive to advertising later on.

-Create FaceBook pages and profiles to generate interest and backlinks to your own website

-Share photos, blogs, videos with your friends list and occasionally share something advertising driven.

-Use FaceBook’s applications like Twitter updates, FriendFeed and MySpace to show your other profiles and statuses on your FaceBook page.  People who visit your profile will see these things and may click/buy/subscribe.

Social media is about socialising but a popular personality on these sites can use it for customers as well. You’ll need to strike the right balance between marketing and friending people in order to achieve success. If you find the right mixture because of your sparkling personality and because you have a great product / service you could find that tools like these are a goldmine!

Have a most outstanding day.

When you use social media tools to try to increase your chances of making more sales, you can take informration in these tools and use them to your advantage. A lot of hype is spread around about monetizing Facebook, MySpace and Twitter but new marketers often don’t know how to mine these systems for information that can help them.  Here are some tips:

Search for keywords

Twitter Search is a tool that can help you in internet marketing if you’re using it to its full potential.  A good way to use it is to search for people you can market to. If you sell widgets, you can search for others that have tweeted about widgets or that use widgets in their profile and add them to your friend list. From there, you can establish yourself as a guru in that niche and you could develop more subscribers, clients and people who’ll buzz about you on the social marketing scene.

Search for groups

Some of these tools such as MySpace and FaceBook have common interest groups. By joining those groups, you increase your ability to find people interested in your subject matter..

Make the most of your profile

Use the profile on these sites to maximize your potential for followers and for success. You need to look like a valuable member of the community and not just another person trying to sell something.

Have a most outstanding day.

Here at www.seanseo.com we like to tell you about tools we think you’ll find useful.  The AddThis tool is fantastic and a wonderful tool for any blog.  Not only can it help you with traffic and social bookmarking but it’s aesthetically pleasing as well.

Social marketing is important but so is blog design and this tool is clean looking and definitely an asset to any blog because it makes it simple for people to help you spread the word about your posts.

What is AddThis?

AddThis gives you a bit of code to add to your site design that allows each post to have a section at the bottom with a list of social bookmarking sites.  When visitors like your post, they can click one of their favourite social bookmarking tools directly below the post to spread the word.  Tools include: FaceBook, MySpace, Delicious, Digg and others. If you look below each of our posts here you can see that you can ad us to your Technorati Favourites, Stumble us, etc.

How Much Does it Cost?

AddThis  doesn’t cost a thing and it’s easy to install on your site. If people use a specific tool on a regular basis and see the button to manually add that on the bottom of your post, they’ll be much more likely to do so. That little logo will remind them that they can do it with just a few clicks and making it as easy as possible for people to tell the world how useful your post is will increase your exposure and your SEO value.

Have a most outstanding day.
