WIZARD SPELLS - PART 1

As we all know, Facebook has become THE number one social media site today and has the potential to generate HUGE amounts of FREE traffic for you. Facebook has also broken this traffic down very conveniently into almost any NICHE you could imagine.

A clever networking strategy deployed effectively will highlight your products, views, services to literelly millions of potential customers and for FREE or at least very low cost. So how do you achieve this?

Here are 5 Wizard Spells you can deploy today:

DON'T RUSH THINGS: Stop looking for the "golden ticket"! Any promotion you do on Facebook should be done passively and definitely "under the radar"... old school tactics are definitely out - the so called GURUS are still teaching this stuff becasue that's all they know and it's what made them their money - but it's time to move over cause the new boys have just hit town! Take things nice and easy, build rather than conquer. The results may be slow to appear in the beginning but maintain consistency and watch your page bloom.


PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE: In today's world of "instant gratification" we are all guilty of wanting immediate results... this is how we have become conditioned. We want our posts to be answered by hundreds of people, our promotions to get an immediate response with sales. This rarely happens in the social media world and especially Facebook. If the reponse rate to whatever you do is slow, see this as an opportunity to refine, tweak, test and find methods that will make things happen faster.

PROFILE vs PAGE: Creating multiple profiles is totally against Facebooks' terms and conditions and is something that you should avoid no matter who tells you otherwise. Unless you are extremely experienced with things like proxy services, you will be discovered and this can, and almost certainly will, lead to your account being banned. Always create a new Facebook Page to promote your different products. My advice is Profile, Personal Brand[Page], Product [Page] etc.

TIME = MONEY: Like any business, the more time and effort you put in, the more rewarding it will become - there is no "fast track" it's all about the effort! I'm not saying that you have to spend every waking hour in front of your computer, in fact the more you can get done on "auto-pilot" the better. For instance, set up your alerts for notifications to your mobile. Never let any post go unanswered as one Facebook friend can bring many others in his or hers friends list into your friens/fan base. Direct communication is the number one key to Facebook promotion.

BE INTERACTIVE: Now we all have to start somewhere so start well by focussing on YOU, when you have 200 Fans forget the people who have 2000, you will get there eventually. What is important is that even when you have only 2 Fans, both of those people are individuals and are HUGELY important to you because you have THEIR attention. Nurture them, care for them, INTERACT with them and they will tell the world. Do this and in a slow but sure way you will see your Fan base grow exponentially.

Is Your FaceBook Profitable?

Over the past ten years or thereabouts social networking has been one of the most outstanding areas of growth on the internet.

The ability of users to make accounts, invite people, make a contribution to discussions, exchange skills and keep in contact with everyone located anywhere on the planet has made membership in any one of the major social networking sites an absolute must have for today's web user.

When it comes to social networking sites, they don't come any bigger than Facebook. With over 500 million active users internationally. If it was a country, Facebook would be the 3rd biggest in the world only just behind China and India.

But although many people have looked at Facebook as a ‘social' networking platform, the actuality is it's one of the most incredible tools for marketing and business over the internet. The sheer numbers of end users makes Facebook a reasonable alternative for any business whether or not it is promoting the mass market or just a niche.Facebook presents one of the cheapest but effective paths to obtain new clients. Not only is the advertising service offered by the site cheap but there also are a number of ways that you can utilize the power of Facebook for marketing and therefore rope in new clients.

As an example, making a profile, page or group on Facebook is free. You can make a page for your product and use it to update your page's members and fans of new products that your business has to offer . Vs setting up your own business internet site and using SEO strategies for marketing online, Facebook already has a huge and willing audience. All you need to do is develop a page that resonates with your target group and then use that to redirect them to your website and finally make that purchase.

FaceBook is 'crawled ' by almost all of the major search engines. For that reason, there are 2 things you've got to do. First, guarantee your profile page has as much information on your business and products as practicable. But you should do that without making your personal page feel 'crowded ' as this can quickly turn off visitors. Your goal must be to make certain that by the point visitors read the data on your personal page, they know the name of your business, what you sell and where they can get your product.

The second thing you have to to do in order to take advantage of search website ‘crawlers' is by using acceptable keywords. As an example, if you're in the business of selling flowers, then the word 'flowers ' as well as a bunch of 'long tail ' alternatives such as 'buy flowers ', 'flowers for sale ', 'online florist ' or 'quality flowers ', should also be spattered throughout the text of your profile description. That may make it easier for somebody hunting for your kind of products to find you on Facebook.

Marketing is just one part of Facebook's business capacities. Purchaser relationship management is another. Through Facebook, you can keep your clients current on new releases, industry information, and loyalty reward programs. Facebook may also be an avenue of hearing what the market thinks about your product and service and a vital forums to address your customers ' concerns. This may inescapable bolster your relationship with your clients.

Truthfully, 1 of the most profitable ways to utilize Facebook is to simply become friends with potential clients. It is simple to search a certain demographic and find people who would most likely be interested in your opportunity, product, service, and make a connection. You can make that connection by "friending" them and making a simple compliment about them, their Facebook page, their likes and dislikes, or even their friends. Systematically move towards a conversation about your business. I personally know a young lady who is building a salon business and an exercise business exactly this way.

The final point is that with nearly a half billion Facebook users are you using it to your advantage or are you letting opportunity pass you by?

Maximum Exposure on Low Cost Internet Ad

(Make the most of a low cost Internet advertising method)


Advertising has long since been a major determinant of a business' success.  This would include the presentation of the product / service to the consumers.  What really matters is how it is presented to the target market to be able to capture it.

Whatever the package, the ad media also plays a great role in determining the success of the product or service awareness.

What may be its advantages over other proven medium like the best-selling TV ads?

Advantages

1. Low Cost

Even though the Internet ad might be viewed as "classy" or far-reaching, as compared to other medium, this is far cheaper than most.  Internet Ad Packages are offered for as low as £29.99 for a one-month run-time period.

2. Capture market

Should your product / service aim to cater to the younger generation or the corporate-oriented ones, an Internet ad would be best since they would always be "hooked-up" into the net surfing sites that might have a link to your very own. Result, a great number of "hits" on your site!

3. Hassle free

All you would ever really need is a PC (and some knowledge and bright ideas in forming your site) wherein you could open your site, search for the best Internet Ad package, and check / update the status of your ad.  You may actually never have to leave your home to advertise!

4. Updated ads

Unlike the TV ads that need to be updated on a regular basis, Internet ads may run for quite some time without the need for change.  If so, change in the site is very minimal and may be done easily at home.

Disadvantages

1. Scope

A limited market may be captured if one would solely use the Internet Ad for advertising.  Although most people now are into the use of technology, i.e. surfing the Internet, still, majority of the average consumers still relies on the old form of advertising as a means of gathering information about certain products / service.

2. Additional cost

If one would enlist the help of another professional or establishment to produce the site for their product or service, this would entail additional costs on the part of the entrepreneur.

Given the stated list of advantages and disadvantages about low-cost Internet Ad, an entrepreneur may now "weigh in" its applicability to his / her product or service.

The aim of Internet ad is to offer the widest range or "Maximum Exposure" of the brand at the least possible cost. Now, does that not sound good or what?
