5 Success Secrets for Using Facebook Effectively to Grow Your MLM Business

Are you trying to build your MLM business or drive traffic to an affiliate site but have no marketing budget to do it?

Well, you don't need to... if you have a facebook account.

Here are 5 success secrets for using Facebook effectively to grow your MLM business.

1. Have a strategy.

Most people go on to Facebook and other social media sites and quickly get confused, stuck or chase endless possibilities. You simply must have a strategy and be able to create measurable results, otherwise you'll only be using Facebook for personal play. One strategy might be to only use your Facebook profile to share tidbits about your personal life to help build intimacy with your prospects. Another strategy might be to segment your friends into lists and stay in regular touch with the top 20% of your friends.

2. Select friends carefully.

I recommend reaching out to leaders and top producers in the industry on Facebook. Look at your bookshelf, review whose books and blogs you read, ezines you you subscribe to, seminars you attend, people you admire, respect and aspire to. Once these people become your friend, you might reach out to request a short interview, then put the audio or the transcript of the interview into a product to sell or to give away on your lead capture pages.

3. Be active regularly.

Set aside time daily if you possibly can to at least log in to Facebook and create a few areas of visibility such as your status update, commenting, posting items. If you're not on Twitter yet, I strongly suggest registering right away. Then you can pull in your "tweets" as your Facebook status update by installing the TwitterSync app.

4. Always add value first.

Be careful of being too promotional. Instead, look for ways to add value to your network with no agenda. For example, you can set up Google alerts for specific keywords related to the industry and when you come across useful blog posts, articles, news items, etc., use the Posted Items app to share with your Facebook network.

5. Be consistent, authentic and congruent.

Make sure your message is consistent with what it is you do, the people you help, and the results you help create. Speak with sincerity and authenticity. You want to be sure how you show up all across the internet and in the offline world are 100% congruent. You can certainly moderate your conversational style a bit when you're on different social networking sites like LinkedIn, MySpace and Twitter, you always want to have a seamless connection between all those sites you choose to be on in addition to your website, blog, and who you are in real life in the offline world.
