			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="left" style="float: left; padding: 0px 5px 5px 0px;"><a name="fb_share" type="box_count" share_url="http://terrypetrovick.com/internetmarketing/facebook-marketing-the-6-step-process/"></a></div><h1>Facebook Marketing: The 6 Step Process</h1>
<p>With over 600 Million people now on <strong>Facebook </strong>it is an<strong> absolute gold mine</strong> for every business owner.  If you are in MLM or Network Marketing it is definitely the honey pot.</p>
<p><a href="http://terrypetrovick.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/honeybee.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2453" src="http://terrypetrovick.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/honeybee-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>How sweet is this honey, well let’s just say you can use it to get 50-100 fresh MLM leads per day!  Imagine how successful you will become when you learn how to <strong>create fresh new MLM leads through Facebook?</strong></p>
<p>But, while the honey is sweet <strong>you WILL get stung</strong> if you are reckless and careless.  Most people are lost when it comes to this process.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the big picture for successful Facebook marketing.  It is a <strong>6 Step process for getting new MLM leads</strong> every day.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1 Brand Yourself.</strong></p>
<p>Begin by choosing a niche or an area that you are or would like to be recognized in.  You do not need to be in the guru status, all you need is a passion to learn, practice and teach in this area.</p>
<p><strong>Do not</strong> try to be everything to everybody.  Be yourself and share from your perspective.</p>
<p>The <strong>central hub is your blog</strong>.  If you do not yet have a blog, it is very easy to have someone create a professional looking blog for less than $200.  <a href="../internetmarketing/your-best-strategy-for-enrolling-more-people-is-your-blog/">Check out this post on the blog service I recommend.</a></p>
<p>Your blog will serve as your “Hub” for all your Social Media and Facebook Marketing.  This means that it will be the place you send all your social media traffic.</p>
<p>It is the “Home Page” of you and your brand and this is why you want to have a professional looking blog.</p>
<p>Make sense so far?</p>
<p><strong>Step 2 Consistently Publish Content.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Some say once a week, I have found that the more consistent you are the more people will see you as a leader and contributor to the profession.</p>
<p>You need to see yourself as a content marketer or creator.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>The more value you infuse into the community the more you will get out of it. You naturally increase your credibility, rapport and trust with your followers.</p>
<p>You don’t have to always write; you can shoot a video or create an audio.  I believe a mix of articles and videos has works best.</p>
<p>Videos only need to be 3-5 minutes and articles 300 to 900 words.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3 Select Key Social Networks.<a href="http://terrypetrovick.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/fb-and-blog.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2454" src="http://terrypetrovick.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/fb-and-blog.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="173" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Select a few networks to build a solid following in. Facebook is best for this but some people like Twitter and YouTube for this.</p>
<p>The key here is <strong>every time</strong> you create new content; you post it on these sites. <strong>Always on Facebook.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 4 Ask for Syndication</strong></p>
<p>Syndication means other people are promoting you and your content.  Some people think if someone is not in your primary business that people will not promote you.</p>
<p>This is simply not the case.  You simply need to <strong>ask people</strong> to do so.</p>
<p>Syndication is the REAL Power of social networking.  This is how you can leverage your influence and reach on Facebook.  You would be shock on how other people’s recommendations will impact your overall following.</p>
<p>If you want to be more pro-active, you can use an automated service like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://tribepro.com/?afid=45960c92-b051-475b-84e7-0aceaf9030a5" target="_blank">TribePro</a>.  TribePro basically automates this whole process.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5 Build Your List Through Your Blog</strong></p>
<p>All traffic that you create comes through your blog for people to read or watch.  Your  goal is to give tremendous value every step of the way. You need to be informative, inspiring and entertaining.</p>
<p>The syndication efforts that you have will also result in more traffic to your blog.</p>
<p>Now once you have visitors you must create a free gift, something of real value that helps them so they will opt-in to your list.  If you don&#8217;t know what to do here, get with your upline and ask for support here.</p>
<p>The goal here is simple…build your list.</p>
<p>This is actually an asset that you control.</p>
<p><strong>Step 6 Wash, Rinse and Repeat!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Repeat Steps 2-5 and email your list with each new post.  Building your list from Facebook and sharing content consistently equals <strong>unlimited income potential</strong>.</p>
<p>Your content is driving new visitors to your blog and <strong>builds a stronger brand for you</strong>.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>You are adding value to their life (business) with every post. Your followers are beginning to trust you more and will not only follow you but recommend you and if your experience is like mine; some will want to join your team.</p>
<p>If you want to <strong>learn how to use Facebook and maximize your marketing efforts</strong> then I encourage you to attend a <strong>free webinar by Jonathan Budd</strong> on Facebook Marketing.</p>

<p>OR</p>
<p>Have you decided to get a Blog but play it safe financially and just use a FREE Blog service?</p>
<p>All I can say it DON&#8221;T DO IT!!!!!</p>
<p>In the shocking video below, you&#8217;ll see where one successful entrepreneur made this FATAL and yes I do mean FATAL mistake that cost him 4 years of his life!</p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t let this happen to you.  And if you are experienced in online marketing don&#8217;t let it happen to your friends.</p>
<p>Friends don&#8217;t let friends use free blogging sites!</p>
<p>Instead, have them watch and learn from this video.  Then tell them to go to <a rel="nofollow" title="GoDaddy.com" href="http://www.godaddy.com/hosting/wordpress-hosting.aspx?ci=15005" target="_blank">GoDaddy.com</a> and get hosting for a wordpress blog.  Note: WordPress.com is different than WordPress.org.</p>
<p>Use a service like <a rel="nofollow" title="http://TerryPetrovick.com/GetABlog" href="http://TerryPetrovick.com/GetABlog" target="_blank">http://TerryPetrovick.com/GetABLog</a> which will actually make you look VERY Professional.   Pay the money and invest in a better tomorrow for yourself! By the way Option #1 is what I would suggest.</p>
<p>I hope this helps you and the new people you know who are just getting started in online marketing.  If you have comments or questions please leave them below.<br />

<p>Your online business is up and running, but you need something that will help you stand out, something that will help you establish YOUR Brand. You want a little oomph. You want to create a solid link between yourself and your customers. A web log is the perfect solution.</p>
<p>A web log or blog is an Internet web page that allows you update the site using your Internet connection or from your cell phone. The ease of using a blog makes them critical to online business owners. You do not need to mess with tricky HTML coding. Many web log software sites take care of this for you. If you can type, you can keep a blog. If you don&#8217;t like writing or you&#8217;re pressed for time,there are plenty of talented ghostwriters writers for hire who specialize in blog posting. Not to mention a variety of private label rights content providers like All Private Label Content and Easy PLR.</p>
<p>Realistically, the methods behind blogging began in the 1980s when the Internet was just starting out. As time progressed, the first true blog started in 1994 thanks to a college student who wanted to record a diary of his life on the Internet.</p>
<p>According to Technorati, in 2007 there were 120 million blogs being tracked and approximately 120,000 new blogs formed every day. The numbers are astounding. Blogs have become the best way to reach your potential clients or customers. At the same time, with so many blogs, it is important to ensure your blog stands out!</p>
<p>For many online businesses, a blog has become their most important marketing tool. It helps them reach new customers and maintain connections with previous clients. Blogs can help them sell their product, get customer feedback and list breaking news in seconds. If your blog is successful, word of mouth will spread quickly bringing you more and more potential customers or clients.</p>
<p>Blogs always display the newest information at the top. For this reason, they offer clients and customers with up-to-the-minute news, product reviews, detailed descriptions and other important items in a format that allows your customers to find quickly. The reverse chronological order makes it simple for your readers to keep up with your additions because they always start at the top.</p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Your online business blog should look professional, contain neutral colors and themes that match what your business represents. Make sure you use a font that is easy to read and large enough for those with vision problems. Avoid lots of flashy ads that slow computer-loading times. If your blog loads slowly because you&#8217;ve put in too many graphics, you are not doing yourself any favors. A huge percentage of Internet users state that slow loading Web pages are guaranteed to drive them away.</p>
