Today I got my own personalised copy of a new Ebook by Jordan Schultz, Facebook Marketing Secrets Exposed that I want to share with everyone who reads this post.

This ebook will give you a blue print to generate 20 – 30 leads a day for your business.

So what’s all the fuss about and why am I excited to be part of this marketing training involving Facebook.?

Well to be honest I have learnt a lot about Facebook over the last year. I had 2 of my previous accounts closed down, change the way I use Facebook, setup a blog to complement Facebook and link that into a tribe setup of a fan page.

Some of the stuff I was doing I learnt before reading Facebook Marketing Sercrets Exposed but some of the new things I have learnt will blow you away and take your marketing to a new level.

From the book I have set up a fan page in the form of a tribe where other blogger from all over the world come a post their content on the wall. Now you may be thinking big deal anyone could that. Well they can but can anyone add images and video and HTML to their fan pages?

One thing I changed was what I posted in groups and on the walls. This is such a simple change that has made a massive difference to my business and it involves a blog.

These are just too small examples of what you will learn from this book. It is jam packed full of fantastic training that will take you head and shoulders above all of your competition out there.

Last week I read a great post by Fontella Williams where she is fighting back about the spam that she and everyone receives on Facebook when they get a friend request.

Check out Fontella’s blog post “Warning: YOUR Facebook Requests Are Being Denied!!” and please leave a comment and share her post as it is well worth reading and I guarantee that your Facebook friends will love it.

This got me thinking and yes I am going to get on my soap box here because everyday people are posting the same ads for the same business opportunities in the same groups.

Before I get into the spam and what it really says about you as a network marketer if you can be called that is why on earth would you want to do this type of marketing.

Firstly, you post these ads in groups where there are 100s if not 1000s of other network marketers. Those network marketers, for the most part will have their own business already and they will more than likely be happy with that business.

Now what makes you think that they would give up what they are doing, drop everything and sign up with you?

You don’t offer anything that they already have. They will still have the same problems and the same trials to overcome.

Think about what you are offering, it’s like trying to sell ice to the Eskimos!

Check out these ads below and read what they say in their ads. I have blanked out the names to protect the ignorant.

So what do you think this says about the people who post these types of ads in groups on Facebook. Here is what it really says:

“Hi, I am a new network marketer and I have no interest in you or building a lasting working relationship with you. All I am interested in is how much money you are going to make me. I am completely lazy as I can’t even be bothered to learn how to build relationship with people. I have found this great opportunity that you can make me a lot of money and if this one does not work out don’t worry because I will find another scheme next week to join which I know will let you make me a lot of money. So how about whatever your name is, let’s get started”

Check out the bottom ad, 160,000 people in this person’s smart line! That’s 160,000 lazy people that this person has attracted to him. You post stuff like this and you will attract like minded people.

Attraction marketing works like this even if you have no idea what attraction marketing is because you will attract lazy people to your business and people who are desperate, needy and hopeful.

You don’t need to post this kind of stuff, it will never do anything for you and if you want to build a successful business you really want to be attracting successful people to you to work with.

Now I going to get of my soap box and stop ranting!

Keep posting you blog content, motivational quotes and hints and tips that actually help people and their business.

You know who you are that’s posting this great content, let’s all stick together and educate the uneducated.

Facebook is a great way to meet people in your target market or that you have something in common with like business or hobbies. Now a great way to meet people is by joining groups and fan pages. If you post regularly to these groups you will get a fair few facebook friend requests, the more you belong to and contribute to, the more friend requests you get.

I’m going to give you one little tip that will increase the number of people who accept your friend requests. This will take you no time at all yet 90% of people on Facebook do not do this simple but effective thing when requesting friends.

Add a message, it’s simple, more personal and above all just plain polite. What you must remember is that when you make a friend request you do not know that person at all so you want to make a good impression.

Here is a snap shot of my latest friend request, as you can see only one person add a message, the rest didn’t bother.

This is easy to do, write out some welcome messages in notepad and add them when you are friend requesting. You will see a massive increase in the number of people who accept you as a friend. Also you will start to build that all important relationship building process.

It’s not a case of how many friends you have a Facebook, but a case of how you build relationships with those people. Don’t forget you can only have 5000 friends so make the most of those friendship.

I hope that you found this interesting. Please leave a comment, I would love to know your thoughts and don’t forget to share this with your friends.

If you have a Facebook profile the chances are that you belong to a few groups. Groups are a great place to meet people and get yourself to stand out. Some are great at this but other stand out but for all the wrong reasons.

Post on group walls is a great free advertising method that you should be utilizing on a regular basis but what exactly should you be posting on group walls.

Well this is the 3 different things that I like to post on group walls. You will notice that there isn’t a business opportunity, forced matrix, over spill, ground floor, turnkey, lock your position in today, we launch in 3 days and we’ll build your business for you anywhere in sight and for very good reason. It don’t work guys!

1. The first one I love to do is post links back to my blog of my latest post. This is a great one because if you have your own self hosted blog it’s yours, you own it. It can’t be shutdown like your Facebook account and you can post whatever you like. This is where people can find out what value you have to offer, therefore you start to build relationships and trust with your readers. I even post older blog posts if I think that they add value. I still get comment on post that are a couple of months old. Over a period of time you will build up a lot of posts you can add to your different groups. Don’t forget to ask people to share your posts at the end of each article, this will increase your traffic.
2. The second thing I do is post links back to my capture pages. I don’t do this on a regular basis as I have been getting better results from my blog. However it’s good to mix things up a bit and a capture page is a good way to get people onto your list. Also a capture page is just that, something to exchange information for a name, email address and phone number. Your blog is full of content and value. It can show people how to do something there and then. A capture page can’t until the person has filled out the opt-in form. Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with capture pages but I am getting better results with blogs.
3. Lastly every now and then I post motivational, inspirational and personal growth quotes. People love to read quotes and I see quite a few around the status updates everyday but there is nothing wrong with adding them to groups. There are loads of places on the web where you can get free quotes, just Google it.

That’s my 3 and I would love to know what kind of things you guys like to post. You don’t need to keep promoting the same business opportunity that another 60 odd people are promoting. Build up your list of blog post on Notepad as well as quotes and capture page posts.

Just a word of caution and please read this. Take your time when making posts and rotate your post every time. You should spread your posting through the day or you will get your account shutdown.

I hope that you found this interesting. Please leave a comment, I would love to know your thoughts and don’t forget to share this with your friends.
