Facebook Marketing Series, Part 3: Utilizing the Platform Effectively

Facebook is first and foremost a social
networking website that people use today in order to keep in touch
with their friends and schoolmates. It is also a great way to meet
new people and establish new relationships; both personal and
business. With Facebook, you will see that it will let you create a
network of friends and also join groups that share your interests.

Although Facebook is great as a social
networking website, it is also a website that internet
marketers view as a market that is hard to pass up. Because
of its popularity, internet marketers see Facebook as the website of
their dreams. Why is it so? The reason is numbers.

Facebook today now has millions of subscribers
from all over the world. You will see that this particular website is
the fastest growing social networking website today. Millions of
people log in and log out from this website and millions more
everyday are subscribing for new accounts.

Now, in marketing, you have to remember that
numbers are very important. With Facebook getting lots of traffic,
you can't possibly manage the traffic it produces. However, you have
to consider that the 'Book is really quite manageable when it comes
to getting traffic to your profile page and to your business website.

You have to remember that different people from
different backgrounds subscribe to this site. Inside Facebook, you
will see that people will create groups. Some groups are for people
who are in a specific age, while other groups are based on the
interests of people.

Depending on your target demographics,
you can try becoming a member of one of these groups. If you can't
find a group that matches your target customer profile, you can
create one your own and try getting people who are interested to join
you.

Facebook also has the tools that you can use to
effectively market your products and services as well as your
website. It will have the news feeds, the wall, and it also has blogs
as well as the notes. Using these things efficiently, you will be
able to effectively tell people about what you have to offer.

Also, Facebook encourages word of mouth
advertising. If someone likes your profile page, they will be able to
recommend your profile page to their own network of friends. You need
to remember that people will be five times more likely to buy a
product if it was recommended by someone they know.

If talking to people is your forte, you might want to join social networking websites. One social networking website that is so popular is Facebook(as well as Twitter, Salespider, Pintrest, and Linkedin). Here, you will see that there are now over 62 million people who are actively subscribed and millions of people are logging in and out every single day.

With this amount of people, you have to consider that this is truly an internet marketer’s dream.

By joining Facebook, you will be able to create a profile page for yourself. Complete the profile page. In this page, it will state basically everything about you. It will contain your interests, your age, gender, as well as your political views.

If you already have friends who are registered and actively using Facebook, you might want to try to add them to your network in the website (your warm market). You can also invite your other friends to join through email in Facebook. By building your network of friends, you will be able to gain access to other networks in Facebook. Here, you can start communicating with other people, and even build new relationships or make new friends. Try to join as many groups as you can that have related views, we’ll get to that in a second.

This is a great way to start marketing in Facebook. Don’t just jump in and start peddling your products, services or website, you first need to establish yourself in Facebook.

After getting started and getting familiarized with Facebook, you will notice that you will be able to join groups. Find a group that is interested in the products or services you offer. When you find one, join the group.

Here, you will be able to discuss things about their interest and little by little, you will be able to indirectly market your products or services. Just remember that you first need to establish relationships within the group in order for you to market effectively and in order for you to become trusted by the other members.

There are quite a lot of communicating tools that you can use in Facebook. You can use the News Feed and you can even syndicate your blog website using RSS. The Notes feature offered by Facebook is also a great way to market. And, you can also write on the “wall” of other people’s profile in order for you to get known.

The great thing about this is that you don’t even have to invest money when you use Facebook. It is completely free and what you just need to invest is time. Although it may take quite a while for you to get people in Facebook to trust you and get them to visit your website.

You have to consider the fact that with the amount of people using Facebook, it will definitely have a lot of potential in generating targeted traffic to your website.

If you want to get started with marketing on Facebook with a system that gives you step by step instructions, then you can always look for one that incorporates everything you need, like this one.

Characteristics of an Effective Entrepreneur-Pt. 1

Before a doctor diagnoses a specific disease,
his patient must undergo a series of laboratory exams and
assessments. He has to know the history of his patient and how
lifestyle affected his present health problem. As results come in,
that would be an indication of the time when a physician gives
specific drugs and therapies for maintenance. This will eventually
contribute to the level of optimum health that the individual should
have. If all else fails, the process will be repeated again.

Similar to what the above mentioned situation
touched upon, an entrepreneur’s responsibility would be pretty much
the same. It’s just that, he should see his customers as his
patients and what they must have to survive a present predicament or
a need. He must follow certain steps before doing anything irrational
that could contribute to the downfall of his business. He should have
certain characteristics innate in his personality for if he lacks one
of these, he’s most probably doomed to fail. 

What Is Entrepreneurship?

Entrepreneurship is collectively defined as
exhibiting one’s vision, taking action, and pursuing that vision as
a goal to be achieved in life as service to reality. In the
meaningless definition, it’s getting your butt out of that couch
and doing something rather than fulfilling your life’s destiny of
being a couch potato! Down below, I have listed some of the distinct attitudes
an entrepreneur should positively have.

Attitudes That Define an Entrepreneuer

• Optimism – is foreseeing things in a
positive way notwithstanding any circumstances that may hinder
progress. The assertiveness of an individual depends on his knowledge
of how to handle a difficult situation

• Creativity – is thinking outside the box.
Expanding one’s mind of what is beyond the ordinary through fine
research and collection of data.

• Stability – either physical, mental,
social or emotional, a leader must possess a stable life which means
he could handle tough situations during tough times.

• Charismatic – intelligence of
communicating with different walks of life. Who says a charming man
is less than an intelligent one? A good entrepreneur must have the
certain magic glistening in his eyes and could convey enchanting
words to get hold of that convincing power no one dare resist.

• Risk-taker – as someone beginning his own
dream, he should be stern and must have the guts and the balls to
take the big leap of plunging into his own doom or success. He should
not be afraid of taking chances when opportunity strikes.

• Energetic – willing to do whatever it
takes to reach to the finish line. His drive must always be at its
highest level for being an entrepreneur would make you work overtime.
His enthusiasm must prevail the next best thing.

• Time bound – like a written report in a
newspaper, an entrepreneur must be on the top of every innovation. By
looking at our past, we could predict our future. 

Small businesses, in time, would turn out big if
the scope of management exceeds what is expected. So it is necessary
for a beginner to be positive about his endeavors. He must be very
observant of what his environment lacks and needs. He should have
sturdy shoulders to put on extra weight of carrying a responsibility
that could change his or her life!

In closing, we must remember this: One’s greatest failure is sticking with the
mentality of being conventional. This would be one of an
entrepreneur’s greatest downfalls. Think big. Act. Make your
business dreams come true!!!
