Facebook and Myspace Network Marketing – The Two Prospecting Philosophies
Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 07:08PM
If you are looking to Facebook and/or Myspace to build your network marketing business there are two main strategies you can use to generate an endless amount of free leads from these web sites.
Both strategies work. There are a number of distributors who have built massive down lines using each of these techniques. 
It really doesn’t matter which strategy you use for which web site. Both Facebook and Myspace are social networking lead generation strategies that work in very similar ways. The key is to pick the strategy that you feel most comfortable with and stick with it consistently and persistently.
Facebook & Myspace Strategy #1 – Work the Numbers
The first strategy that you can use to build your business on Facebook and Myspace is to work the numbers. Get as much exposure to your network marketing business as possible.
How does this strategy work? By using these social sites to get as much traffic to your profile page as possible. You then promote the URL to your business web site posted on your profile page and let the numbers work for themselves.
Create multiple profiles on these web sites. You will need several email addresses to do this. Assuming you want to create five profiles, you will need to create five different email addresses.
The next step is to create profiles and add friends to those profiles. Unless you are extremely tight on money and have no other option, you really don’t want to do this yourself.
You can hire a freelance writer from a web site like Elance.com or Guru.com to do this for you. You can also hire some high school or college kid to do this for you as well. 
Once you have added all of these friends to your profile (Facebook maxes out at 5,000 friends), simply post a comment to their page thanking them for adding you as a friend. Some of them will click on your profile, see your URL and click on it.
Facebook & Myspace Strategy #2 – Build Relationships & Add Value
The second strategy for building a Facebook and Myspace prospecting system is to build relationships and add value to people. With this approach you are shooting for quality not quantity.
What you do here is create a profile and add friends to it as well. However, the difference is you want to actually start communicating with these people and build a relationship with them online.
One way you can do so is to create a group and invite them. By inviting people to your group, you will be able to share content with them that will help them and add value to their lives and their network marketing business.
As you continue to add value, many of these people will be curious to know what you do. They will click on your profile, see your URL, click on it and come to your web site. A word of caution. It's important to learn how to use these social marketing sites correctly so as not to spam.
Another approach to generating leads at these social marketing sites is to simply send messages to people right over the web site and build a relationship with them that way. Once you build the relationship up a bit, if there is some interest in your network marketing business opportunity, you can exchange phone numbers and continue the prospecting process.
