Facebook Money Making Techniques

By Henrico Ellis

I find that one of the enormous problems with networking on Facebook is that... other people who are promoting their own businesses like to push their business opportunities all over you. This tends to be very abusive, and simply isn't a great marketing technique as it will just turn people off. The best way to find prospects is to add friends in the home-based business industry. It's no secret that there are plenty of poor home-based business opportunities out there, and a lot of members of social media sites are promoting them. Members of such programs may be looking for a new opportunity... and that's where you come in.

No offense to any home business owners out there, but many of those persons tend to be in the MLM business. The attrition rate in MLM right now is not awesome... most new beginers to MLM quit the company they joined within their first 90 days. Join home-based business groups, MLM groups, internet marketing groups, and so on, and add members to your friends list. This is not the time to promote your new friend a link to your website or tell them about your business program. Simply send a message such as "Hi Rod,I see you're a member of 'so and so' group. I'm looking to network with same-minded persons... I hope you accept me as a friend". If they agree to ask you about your business, then go ahead and discuss it... but let them come to you about it as opposed to the other way around.

Your Facebook profile should show who you are and what your program is (with a link or two to your websites). Posting in group topics with useful home-business information, or posting your blog feed to your page can portray to establish you as a reliable home-business owner with some experience knowledge to share... which may ebtice people to know more about what it is you do. Having the entire page dedicated to business can be a turn-off to probable visitors how ever, so personalize it with pictures and information about yourself and show vistors who you really are.

Using Facebook or other social platform will be more profitable for you if you're with a top-tier internet marketing program where any lead could generate a probable payments in the thousands of dollars. You're also limited to I think 4000 friends or so on Facebook, so leads are not endless. It's 100% free more ever, so whoever you're with, make a page and start prospecting.

If you know how to earn money with Facebook it is possible to do so with a few effort. Just think in a few days or weeks you could be earning money by using Facebook at the same time as you are keeping in contact with friends and family.

Webinar Strategy That Causes Customers To Buy

By Stephen Beck

A webinar can be a great way to promote your product or service. There are four major types of webinars, and each can be effective, depending on the goals for your webinar. Each webinar strategy is detailed below.

The first webinar strategy is to hold a free webinar. The majority of this presentation should contain quality information although it is of course acceptable to include a sales piece near the end. This type of webinar should be full of good content and seek to educate your viewers. By sharing your knowledge, you can also feel free to show the participants how you or your product can help them.

The second webinar strategy should be used when selling a service for a slightly more complex topic. You will want to educate your viewers on the various parts of the process and what is required of them to do it. After this informational portion, you will explain how you are able to make this process easier for them. Now that they have a clear understanding of what the process entails, they will be excited to hire someone who can help them do it.

In the third webinar strategy, you give viewers a sample of what you have to offer by using a free webinar to sell classes. Think of your free webinar as a way for viewers to try out your product. By giving them a great experience, they will want more of what you have to offer. Allowing them this free trial is a powerful tool in convincing them that your paid webinars are even more valuable.

The fourth webinar strategy involves showing your webinar to several groups of people. Although the content of each webinar is the same, the audience for each viewing is different. This allows you to promote your goods or services multiple times.

Each webinar strategy has its own benefits, and you can even consider using all four of them at different times to promote your business. Taking the time to learn about each strategy will go a long way in strengthening your marketing plan.
