How to make millions from social networking

Hey there,

Again, whether you like it or not, the emergence of the “social
web” provides opportunities for viral marketing that never
existed before. Face to face talk or talk over the phone has its
limitations in reaching your audience. The social web has opened
up avenues greatly expanding the online reach.

Here are several techniques for using the social web to achieve
that viral reach.

1. MySpace is the ultimate social website because of its sheer
size in terms of visitors. The best way to get started with
marketing via MySpace is to grab a free account and join a few
groups in your niche. Then wait a week or so and post something
intelligent to the group. You can either answer another member’s
post or post your own topic or question. Since MySpace is a
social network, not a marketing network, it is best to
“soft-sell” by adding your offer in your signature file.
Remember, your main goal should be to build up relationships with
people in the group first, and sell to them later.

2. Grab a free account at Facebook — it is one of the better
sites for social marketing. Be sure to use their “facebook
pages”, which is a public profile that enables you to share your
business and products with other Facebook users. Here’s a nice
guide to using Facebook pages.

3. Visit a site called Squidoo. At Squidoo you create “lenses” (a
Web page) about any topic. You can create as many lenses as you
want and you can embed external links in your lenses. Squidoo
lenses also have good search engine credibility. So, your sites
will get some good external in-bound links for free.

4. Put up your own blog at WordPress.com and post to it
regularly. Invite comments from your visitors. Then spend a
little time at Digg.com. Digg is a community based news
popularity web site. If your blog article hits the front page of
Digg, you will get thousands of visitors and some of them will
eventually become your regulars. Study the types of articles that
end up on the front page of Digg. Write your blog articles
targeted to Digg users.

5. LinkedIn is an online community of experienced professionals.
Create your account at LinkedIn and network with professionals in
your fields. Offer some free services for other professionals in
your network and solicit their recommendations. All
recommendations appear in your profile. LinkedIn provides great
opportunity for someone to find your business or services.

6. Sta.rtup.biz/ provides a free online spot to announce your
business and services. Create a profile, connect and promote to
more than a million other members.

To your success,

Kevin Pasco
