Having used Facebook for a while now and made some mistakes, (account deleted!) I have found it a useful source of connections and leads. However on my travels through Facebook I have picked up a few things that may be useful to know.

The first thing people are going to see when they become friends with you is your profile page. This should be an advertisement not for your opportunity but an advertisement about you. This is the place you can sell yourself and done right you will have a ton of people following you wanting what you have to offer.

These are some of the things you can do to make your profile more appealing so you can build better relationships and a bigger list.

1. Your profile picture, this is the top item that people will be drawn to on your page. Make sure you put a good picture of yourself on the page. Don’t put up a logo or a picture of Mickey Mouse! If I wanted to do business with him I’ll go to Disneyland. Let’s see what you look like and who you are. A picture of you will help when others are looking to connect as on Facebook nobody can see your profile until you confirm them as a friend.
2. Your information section should be filled out. This might sound a bit obvious but so many people get this wrong. Put up as much info about yourself as you can, let people know what sports you like to do, your hobbies, films, books and shows you like to watch. This gives others something to connect to when you start building a relationship. I have people who have not asked me about MLM but about something I have out on my profile. They have gone onto my site and signed for more training without me doing anything. Whatever you do don’t put up your corporate company website for your primary business or go on about how much you love to help people. Also stay away from putting anything up about MLM, network marketing etc. People want to know about you not that you are an internet marketer. Do put up your blog, lead generation website and maybe your Twitter page and that’s all you need.
3. Added other pictures of yourself, family, friends and if you have met any of the leaders in the industry even better. That will give you creditability as a network marketer. Pictures make a great talking point and people can see what you are like outside of MLM.
4. Add a welcome video and birthday video. These are great way of introducing yourself when you make new friends. It’s just something else you can do instead of just writing on their wall. Not many people do this at the moment. Most just write a message on your wall so this will get you to really stand out from the crowd.
5. Your status update should be update at least once a day. I have found adding  motivational quotes from people is a great way to get noticed. Also ask a question is another way to interact with your friends.  Don’t add links to your opportunity, find a group that will allow you to do that. I have seen profiles where they are just covered with links to opportunity websites.

Your profile is an extension of yourself so make it about yourself. It can be used to generate leads and build a business so use it to add value to others. If you come across with great quality content and information that’s useful you will build great relationships and friends on this site.
