MARKETING THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKS
Admin Sun Sep 13, 2009 11:08 am
***Here are some of the information I have gathered over the web, regarding the topic:
**Basic Online Marketing Principles
There are certain basic online marketing principles that apply when networking online. Among them:
- First and foremost, no spam. Communication should be individual and meaningful, not bulk, impersonal nonsense.
- On a related note, do not use automated software to post generic comments or messages in bulk.
- When emailing or messaging, unobtrusively remind people of what you do through your signature. Include your name; clickable Website URL; tagline or short mission statement; and/or other contact information in the signature.
**Finding Connections
- Each time you find a new connection, look for additional connections in her or his network.
- Study comments on your connections' pages ― or those outside your network with similar interests ― for potential new connections.
**Approaching People to Become a Part of your Online Network
After finding potential connections, approach them about becoming part of your network. Ways to do this include:
- Send a friend request to each.
- Post thoughtful, relevant comments on their pages (which also creates new links to your page).
- Return comments on your page with relevant ones on the commenter's' page.
- When contacting someone, send a private message and leave a comment on her or his page.
**Working your Network
The flip side of finding potential connections is having potential connections find you. There are several things you can do to become more approachable:
- Your page is the first thing people see when researching you, so keep it appealing. Regularly review comments others have left and delete irrelevant or crude remarks.
- Add new content to your page often, giving people a reason to visit regularly.
- Set aside time to respond to comments and messages.
Like all worthwhile business relationships, online networks must be nurtured. Make the effort to do so, and over time you will reap the rewards.
