2. Increase Your Social Network Reach
Social Networking
If you have a website, a blog, a home business or even if you are in some
type of sales such as a Real Estate Agent, Car Salesman, etc., you must
increase your Social Network Reach.
Most people these days are tired of spammers so simply going around and
friend requesting strangers on Facebook won’t get you very far. Sure, you
can pay Facebook to advertise your Fan Page for you if you’re rich! It costs
more than $1 every time someone clicks on your Facebook Ad and there is
no guarantee they will click the like button. We recently spent $75 on
Facebook Ads and got a whopping 20 fans! Talk about a rip off.
Twitter is also the Ultimate Marketer’s Tool Box. If you really engage with
your followers and read their posts, give them a #ShoutOut now and again,
you can really build some good followers because they’ll return the
#ShoutOut and some of their followers may choose to follow you. It is a
great way to stay in constant contact with possible customers.
Many Internet Marketing “Gurus” tell you that the “money is in the list.”
They say this because once you build a mailing list of people interested in
your products; you can continue to remain in contact with them by sending
out auto-responder emails.

3. Increase Your Social Network Reach
We don’t know about you, but we have unsubscribed from many lists for
several reasons. One of the first reasons is that we had so many emails; we
spent all day deleting emails that we didn’t even read. The other reason we
unsubscribed is because all they ever did was send us emails saying buy
this, buy that, buy, buy, buy! It’s so frustrating. If you’re not providing
helpful information, why should we bother buying from you?
In this day and age with the Social Networking going on all over the place,
more and more people spend their time on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and
many other Social Sites. If you can get them to follow along with your posts
on any of these sites, you can reach them a lot better than with an email
that most people don’t open or read. On Social Network sites, you don’t
have to get them to open the email and read it because the information is
sitting dead in front of them as they’re reading along with friends’ posts.
This way you know they’re seeing what you say. On top of that, rather than
some long-winded email that most people delete half way before finishing,
Social Networking sites typically require you to make your point in just a
sentence or two, so they most likely WILL spend the fifteen seconds it takes
to read your post.
You can reach far more people and brand yourself much better on Social
Network Sites rather than simply capturing their email address and
continuously sending out information. With Social Network sites, people that
enjoy what you have to say can then “share” the information with their
friends with the click of a button. This does not happen often with emails.

4. Increase Your Social Network Reach
Studies show that the average person
needs to see an advertisement 14 times
before they’ll buy.
You must be careful not to only say “buy, buy, buy” because people can, and
will, un-follow you or un-like your page. You need to be sure you give
constant helpful tips and products for free. This helps with the know, like
and trust factor, which is key to building a customer referral base.
Now that we’ve covered the importance of Social Networking to grow your
business, you might be asking yourself this question:
How does ONE single person get such a
massive reach with complete strangers?
We are glad you asked. We have been spending weeks now researching
some awesome social networking sites. Most of these sites work on a credit-
basis. You follow people on Twitter or like their Facebook Page and earn
credits. Then you offer the credits to others to follow you or like your page.
Of course if you’re really busy, you can always just buy the credits. A lot of
these sites below have differences that make each one unique, which is why
we highly recommend signing up for all of them!

RECOMMENDED SITES
Twiends – This site allows you to obtain “seeds” for following people on
Twitter, and then you can offer the “seeds” to others so they follow you! We
purchased a feature spot for one day and had over 3,000 new followers. This
site really works.
FanSlave – This site allows you to earn coins for following people on Twitter
or liking their Facebook Fan Page. You can then turn around and give the
credits back to others for doing the same.
Swapes – This site is definitely multi-purpose! You can get Twitter
Followers, Facebook Fan Page Likes, YouTube Video Views, Have people
Google Plus your website, or simply place your website in the traffic
exchange. Again, by doing any of these to other members you earn credits
and then can give them back out for having people do the same for you. We
really like the Google Plus feature because so far we have had 45 people hit
the G+ button on our website which means that our website shows up in
their Google Plus Stream as a recommended site (similar to what happens
on Facebook when someone likes your page). If you are not on Google Plus,
get on it now because it is becoming very popular.

6. Increase Your Social Network Reach
PushLikes – This site is also multi-purpose! You can get Twitter Followers,
Digg Followers, MySpace Friends, Facebook Likes, Google Plus on your sites,
and YouTube Video Views. Same as the other systems; you get credits for
following and liking pages and give them back to other members for doing
the same.
Tweezard – This site allows you to gain and give credits for Twitter
Followers. You can browse Twitter Users by interest. This way you are sure
to follow people you have things in common with and not just random
people. If you run your own business and share helpful items with other
entrepreneurs, they will most likely be willing to cross-promote (i.e. you help
promote them, they help promote you).
Easy Retweet – This is by FAR our FAVORITE site. You get credits in a
variety of ways, following people on Twitter, Retweeting their posts, reading
their blog posts, visiting their websites and more. Once you have enough
credits, you can post a message and offer other users credits for re-tweeting
that message to their followers. The tweets go VIRAL! They have a system
where you can shorten your links and go back into Easy Retweet and track
clicks. With just one post, retweeted by about twenty members who
collectively had nearly 100,000 followers, we received over 600 clicks to our
link in one day! That was just one tweet. We currently have about five
messages queued right now. If you purchase credits, you’re a featured
member on the Home Page for several days and this increases your number
of Twitter Followers!

7. Increase Your Social Network Reach
Social Adr – Last but most certainly NOT LEAST, this site not only increases
your social awareness on 21 different bookmarking sites, BUT it helps
provide back links. Back Links are essential in getting search engines to rank
your website higher. You just input your websites and get credits, and then
the credits are offered to users to bookmark your website on several social
networking sites. We’ve input three sites and they’ve been bookmarked by
many users over 118 times in the last 48 hours! We were skeptical at first,
so we went to one of the websites and tried to bookmark the site ourselves
and it actually said this site has already been bookmarked, you can “vote”
for the site here, so we were able to add a “vote” for it. Sites with more
votes, diggs, likes, etc., get shown to users more often as a note-worthy site
worth checking out. This means additional site traffic for you.
We highly recommend using many of these services because the effects are
viral. People are more likely to visit a site a friend recommends, so the more
people that share your sites, the more traffic you will get.
Remember also that the more helpful tips and free services you share,
creates more friends who WANT to follow you, like you, and ultimately visit
your site.
The best advertisement is word of mouth, but in this day and age with the
internet, it is no longer “word of mouth” but more along the lines of “word of
Social Network Sharing.”
