Using Social Networking Sites For Traffic And Leads
Every one these days is on the social networking train. Ever since the launch of MySpace and Facebook, social networking has become the hottest thing to hit the Internet with niche social sites popping up daily. Luckily for us marketers, we can use some of these sites to generate free traffic and leads if used correctly. Not only can we get leads and traffic to our GDI websites, but some of these networks can be run as a business on their own and can generate you residual income with lucrative compensation plans. It is now possible to do what you have always done online and make money at the same time by just spending time on these sites and making new friends. Imagine if you could of built a downline in MySpace when it first came out and earned money of the websites revenue. That’s what sites like Wowzza and Direct Matches let you in on.
Now for those of you that are absolute newbies and have no idea about how to get website traffic and leads, I recommend starting out with social networking sites. It free advertising and it is really easy to do. Let’s go over a few techniques.
Step 1: Sign up and create a profile: Here is a list of 4 of the hottest social networking sites that will give you access to millions of prospects and free traffic. All of these sites are geared more for network marketers or opportunity seeker.
1. Yuwie
2. Direct Matches
3. Wowzza
4. ZenZuu
All of these sites are free to signup and Direct Matches and Wowzza have the option to upgrade to a paid membership which I highly recommend you do. I have received a lot of spillover into my downline from the forced matrix plans they have. If you really want to take it a step further, sign up and get a free SpiderWeb marketing system to build a downline in all four of these programs at once.
Make sure when you create a profile that it is personal and not an advertisement for your business. Putting up a profile that is an ad will come across as spam and will not preform well. You can put a link to your websites if you wish or just tell people to contact you for more information about your business.
Step 2: Join groups, make friends and socialize.
Many of these websites operate much in the same way like MySpace or Facebook. You basically search other profiles, send out friend requests and comment on other profiles. You can also join groups, forums or upload videos and blog. Start our by networking with others and building your list of contacts. You can place comments on other profiles with a banner to your website or a video. This will get you lots of traffic to your profile and website. You can also send out messages to all your friends and share things with them. The more value you give to the community, the more people will trust you and the more money you will start to make.
Step 3: Advertise and invite others to join you.
Now you can start to make money by inviting other people to join you and network. A really good method would be to advertise to other marketers by replying to an email in your inbox or posting a comment in a blog or forum. Tell them that they can sign up it would be a great way to sell their product or service to targeted leads.
Social networking sites used correctly can be a goldmine of opportunity for you. Start networking today and have fun while making new business partners and extra income at the same time. This is the future of Internet network marketing.
