Ever heard the saying "You can't teach an old dog new tricks?" That saying is said more today than ever before and the internet is proof that it is and always has been unfounded nonsense. The truth is that anyone can learn anything and if you've been using the internet for a while to build your network and increase your MLM marketing activity you will have seen more than one old time networker out there doing their best to get with the party and generate free leads for their MLM business. Success or not, this is living proof that you can teach an old dog new and fairly impressive tricks, if you know how to teach.
This article will teach you how to revamp your old Facebook account to generate an ongoing stream of free leads for your MLM business. Don't believe me? Listen up...
1. Profile Set Up - Look at your current profile set up. Does it have a good photograph, sharp biography and interesting information page? If not, be sure to start here and get this right before moving on. Then add a custom HTML profile tab which you can link to an email autoresponder like Aweber or get response in order to capture people details when they opt in to your newsletter through your Facebook profile page.
2. Group Activity - Look at your current list of groups and streamline. Pick no more than ten groups in your niche and target your activity to these groups consistently to build your profile within these groups and to get noticed by the group admin. This will let you leverage off the back of an already large network and could even attract the admin to your business.
3. Friend Adding - Stop adding anyone to your list of would be Facebook friends. Target specific friends by using the Facebook search function to type in your keywords (mlm leads, free leads, network marketing, Agel, Amway, herbalife, Melaleuca, Trivita, Usana etc). Use the search results to find people talking about your industry and send them a friend request mentioning what they were talking about.
4. Positioning - Ignore the Facebook chat function when someone from your old friends list pops up for a chat. Success in network marketing is all about positioning and nothing looks less impressive and attractive than a business builder with all the time in the world to chat on Facebook.
5. Time management - Pick the times you use Facebook for different activities. If you are adding content, like articles and videos, do this at a time when the upload will meet a lively audience and get the response you are looking for. If you are adding friends, do this at a quiet time, so you don't get caught up in the chit chat back and forth. If you are replying to emails do this once a day for 5 minutes and no more. Increase your productivity and you will see an increase in the number of new leads your old Facebook account starts to churn out.
Facebook is a great place to network and meet potential business partners but don't be fooled by it's soft outer shell and user friendly features. Facebook will swallow you up and chew you out if you don't manage your activity and have a clear strategy to begin with. Follow these five steps and pretty soon you'll start to see a flow of new leads coming out of your old Facebook account.
