We all know that Facebook is the fastest growing social media site on the planet That translates to an infinite amount of leads for your business.

The trick is how do you get those leads? I will give you some basic training on how to begin to attract leads to your business on Facebook.

#1 One of the first mistakes made by new on line marketers is blasting their opportunity to every new person they meet on Facebook. You can tell who the new marketers are on Facebook. They will Bollard endless promotions of their business opportunity.
This type of activity turns most people away.

Daily I’m sent friend requests and a lot of them have a business opportunity with them. I always decline those requests. Sometime I may give them some advice about their methods. I do not like being sold, Even though I am a marketer I don’t want to be spammed, so why would anyone else. Most people on Facebook feel the same way. Facebook is a social networking site, so why don’t we socialize, develop relationships, get to know each other and build trust. When you have developed trust then the opportunity to present your business will appear. As I begin building trust with my contacts on Facebook the question of what I do for a living always comes up. That is the time when I discuss my business opportunity. I know this is different than what your up line trained you to do. More than likely Your up line wants you to tell everybody you make contact with about your opportunity. That may or may not work for your off line efforts but I will tell you that it certainly does not work in your on line efforts.

#2 Bring value to the on line community. This goes back to #1, instead of constantly Bollarding your business opportunity 20 times a day, Bollard some educational material or links to one of your blog Bollards. Write about something that will help others to build their business on line. You will then to look like a leader and not look like a spammer. I’m talking from experience. Within a short period of time I realized that blasting my opportunity to everyone was not working. I then learned what Attraction Marketing was all about. I learned I had to add value to the community then people would be Attracted to what I had to say. When the trust was established then I could talk about my opportunity. This is completely different marketing than what most are accustomed to, but traditional marketing doesn’t work in social media.

#3 Narrow down who your prospects are.
To build your business using social sites you should go after other mlm people. Why should you connect with other mlm people? We all know that this is a tough business and that 97% will quit within the first year. This is where your value, as a leader, will work in your favor. If you can share with someone how to get a few leads you have given them more than their sponsor ever has. That person you just helped will now listen to everything you have to say. Show someone how to get leads and you will become a leader in their eyes. This means the more value you provide them the more they see you as a leader and will do whatever you want them to do. Primarily join YOUR opportunity!

#4 Join groups. Look for groups that are formed for network marketing. You can find these groups by using the search function on Facebook. Search for mlm companies by name. When you find a group that you want to target, go to the “See all people” button to see everyone that is involved in the group. Begin by hitting “Add as a Friend” button. In the new window you can see the members who are involved in that particular group. Select the “Add as a friend” option. A new window will open and look for the “Send a personal message” option. Select that option and a message box will open. Type in a short note, then hit “Send Message”. You will get a better response by typing a note. People love to hear complements about themselves. Check out their profile, before sending the note, complement them on something like pictures of kids or just a comment about their profile. The note doesn’t have to be long. You could send something like, “Nice profile. I see you are a fan of xyz company. Would you like to connect to trade ideas on building our businesses? Have a awesome day!” Never plug your business opportunity in the friend request note. I use this technique to connect with 50 people everyday.
