Learn: Getting More Followers On Google Plus

Leon McLuur — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:20:35 +0000

Many people use social networking sites to stay connected with family and friends, and meet new people as part of their marketing strategy. No matter the reason, there’s no denying the current popularity of such sites. One newcomer is Google Plus. As soon as you have set up your account, there’s one challenge ahead of you: getting more followers on Google Plus.

One of the easiest ways to do so is by going to your homepage and clicking “Circle” located on the top section. Click “Find and Invite” and a listing of your Gmail contacts will be displayed. There are a few circles below the list. All you got to do is drop the person to the circle of your choice.

Apart from the ones already there (Family, Friends, Acquaintances and Following) you may also add a new circle. Such can be done by dropping the person on the leftmost circle. If you wish to add people manually, simply click “Add a new person”.

Invite your contacts in your other social networking site accounts to join you on this new venture. Some people may have not heard of it yet. Post an announcement that you already have an account there. Place a link to your profile so that people who also got their accounts there may put you to their circles. Inform those who don’t have theirs yet to tell you their e-mail addresses so you may send them invitations.

Be on the lookout for famous people putting up their accounts. Be it a recording artist, movie actor, painter or book writer, send the person an invitation. Participate actively in the posts so people there who are also looking for more followers may go over your profile and invite you if they find your comments interesting enough.

Come up with attention-grabbing posts – original quotes, snapshots you have taken yourself, doodles, video clips, etc. Make sure it’s something worth sharing with others. Also, make sure that you select “Public” or “Extended Circles” when posting them so the friends of your friends will also be seeing your posts. If your posts are really good enough, it can go viral and win you tons of instant followers.

Leaving sensible comments on the posts of your friends can also help you in getting more followers on Google Plus. Engage in some discussions and make sure that your comments are a total standout. Naturally, people who will be able to read your comments will be interested with you and might want you to become their friend as well.

Getting More Followers On Google Plus – Summary

When you join, you’ll probably get follow requests as well from other users who are using the search tools. You can choose to follow these people if they seem like they could be potential traffic for your blog. Make sure that your follow list doesn’t get too crowded.

Google Plus works best when you can actually communicate with the people that you are following, and vice versa. If you crowd your list with thousands of people you may initially get more traffic but you’ll lose out on many of the other benefits of using the site.

Before you get started with posting updates, you need to decide your primary purpose for using Google Plus. If you’re focused before you get started, you’ll be able to produce better quality posts and get the right kind of traffic to your blog.

There are many different ways you can use Google Plus, and everyone uses it a little bit different. Consider these different ways of using the platform when you decide how you’re going to use it:

To build your expertise and your authority in a niche
To drive more traffic to your blog
To brand yourself
To be more social with your readers
To make your blog more of a community experience

You can do all of this and more with your Google Plus account, or you can choose just one aspect and run with that. Keep in mind though that if you decide that you’re going to use it just to post links to your blog, you’re going to be a bit disappointed.

Facebook Advertising: What Are the Benefits of Fan Pages?

Nestor Pabon — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 20:02:40 +0000

I am at the point where I am unable to already count the number of social networking sites out there, some have been established and made their killing before Facebook came about and some are quite new. But no other social networking site has grown tremendously popular and as heavily patronized as Facebook and this lone social networking website has broken all records in amassing more than four million (and counting) active users in only its sixth year in existence and any type of business, online or traditional, that would be considered quite an amazing and hard to top accomplishment. But even in the light of these achievements and the amount of active subscribers that Facebook has, many advertisers still fail to realize the huge potential gold mine that Facebook is and they still turn to the more accepted and widely used paths of online marketing which are the search engines such as MSN Bing, Yahoo Search Marketing, and the very famous and currently most sought-after Google AdWords pay per click online advertising scheme.

You might have noticed that I always refer to the phrase “active users” because almost ninety percent of Facebook users are on Facebook everyday meaning they can be reached by your advertisements at some point whenever they log in and on top of this all, a huge percentage of people online never fail to go to Facebook to check on their profile and catch up with their messages or see new pictures of their friends or even upload new pictures of themselves. This massive mass base keeps on increasing by the second and it would be futile to argue that Facebook is not a wise place to position your ads to.

If you are an interested online advertiser and you want to tap the limitless revenue-generating possibilities of Facebook, you can start by creating a fan page on this social networking site and the building of a fan page is so easy because the tools are already given on the site itself and they have been designed to be user-friendly. You would notice that the fan page is a bit different compared to the regular user profile and its is designed to attract more people which in online lingo is called website traffic and this new surge of visitors can also be converted into revenue if you know the right way to do it.

Right after you finish making the fan page and making sure that it is attractive enough, you can now start sending out invitations and you have to send out as many invitations as you can and eventually you would see that the fans have become contributors on your fan page and is now the key to the success of you fan page. You can now start adding links and other stuff like videos and photos.

The Most Updated Facebook Advertising Tips

Nestor Pabon — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 08:22:45 +0000

One of the most common and harmful mistakes done (or not done in this case) by online advertisers is once they have set up their ads, made sure they have the proper keywords placed, put the ads in their right locations online, launched it, saw that it was bringing in the right amount of website traffic, they sit in the corner and just wait for the money to pour in, and let the ads work for themselves. Lest you make the same mistakes, one of the most crucial parts of online marketing is monitoring everything during the actual marketing process, when the ads have been placed and people are already flocking in (or not flocking in) and at this exact time you would be able to determine the next moves and strategies that you will employ to increase your production more or to correct a particular point in your campaign that is slowing down the other tactics in place and your role at this point is to make sure that all screws and levers and pulleys on your online marketing campaign are working to a T.

Many online advertisers end their Facebook advertising campaign as soon as they have begun when they see diminutive results on their Facebook advertising efforts and immediately generalize that it really is the same situation all throughout in the Facebook advertising and marketing arena and instantaneously give up. The truth of the matter is wherever you go, whatever site you use, if you are unable to make the right amount of conversions and you are getting the right amount of traffic, then the one really to blame is your ad campaign and not the site itself and the failure can only be attributed to the ad itself and you should know that online marketing experts test the waters first, determine where it is shallow and where it is deep and then they set up their bait and make their killing.

This testing is based on a lot of factors that can greatly affect the outcome of your ad campaign and it includes a close look at the profiles of your target audience and their likes and interests. Like for example if you are doing a campaign on sports gears, it would be wiser to put more pressure ads on those who love adventure sports such as bungee jumping and the like because these people are more passionate and aggressive than those who like bass fishing, wouldn’t you agree. So the correct profiling is important in Facebook advertising and since this wonderful social networking website is aptly designed to contain this great source of data, make the most out of it and use it to your advantage since these are the kinds of information you do not get from other sites where you place your ads on.

5 Ways To Build Your Brand Using Facebook!

Nestor Pabon — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 07:50:19 +0000

Facebook has fast become the ultimate social media website for promoting businesses. Of course, Twitter and LinkedIn are also essential tools to use for networking but no one can deny the huge impact Facebook is having.

More businesses are getting on the bandwagon and actively participating on Facebook every day. Because of the demand, Facebook is also evolving to include tools and features that allow businesses to promote their services and products. It is important at this point to say that there is a proper process of marketing online effectively through using Facebook.

Below are 5 ways that you can use to build your brand on Facebook:

1. What Does Your Profile Say About You?

Set up your profile so that it helps to promote your business in a positive way. What is it that your business specialises in that will make it stand out from the crowd? What value do you bring to the community or network? This is your Unique Selling Proposition (USP) that will make people remember you.

Your profile should provide various links to your other web pages that you are associated with. If you have a personal website, such as a blog, it would be advantageous to add this so that people who are interested in you will go to your personal page to find out more about you.

Social etiquette is very important on the Facebook network. In no way do you want you or your business to come across as “spammy” by consistently posting links to your business products or services. This really does turn people off and your company can get a bad name. Try and look at Facebook as being a “social network.” That indeed is what it was created for. People go onto Facebook to unwind… a bit like going to the pub or bar after work and chilling out with your colleagues and friends. Last thing you want is to be constantly harassed with business after a hard day’s work.

2. Find Your Key Target Audience

Finding your key target audience is integral in marketing. You want to be able to get your message across and ultimately sell to your target market audience. On Facebook, find niche related groups that are most relevant to your business. Become an active member by joining those groups. Now you will be able to contribute to the groups by adding relevant high value content and in turn you will be building your own business branding in the process. On your profile page, be sure to include a personalised message when adding friends so that you can establish an “early” connection with the person.

When adding friends, you want to be able to engage and interact as quickly as you can. Find out more about them and the cardinal rule is not to come across as all “spammy” by thrusting your business products and services down their throats as soon as you have met them. In fact you may hardly ever directly promote your products or services to your new “friends” or group members but they will get a chance to check out what you do by visiting your profile page or fan page through curiosity.

3. Add Value To Your Network

To set you apart as a leader, you need to provide high quality value to your network and share information from other content sites. You could provide valuable content from links to free training videos, eBooks, or affiliated sites which provides real valuable information.

Update your network regularly with your Facebook status, notes and posts. Creating unique content which you can share with the community would be a superb strategy and brand you as a market leader.

4. Get Leads From Another Sales Funnel.

You may have a lead capture page or content website like a blog which you use as your entry point for your marketing funnel. These are the 2 main ways that you can get prospective clients to opt in to your website and leave their name and email address. Once you have this information, then you will be able to commence an email marketing campaign to direct your prospective clients to your business products and services.

This is a good point to direct them also to your Facebook fan page in particular and get your customers to engage and interact with you through there. This can be very useful because it will give the prospective new client an opportunity to find out more about your company and the key members within the organisation. Putting a face to names with photos and videos can really help to break the ice and make your clients see you and your business as being “real” and approachable.

5. Create a Fan Page and Group

You can also promote your business in many ways by creating a fan page and group. The Facebook fan page is fast becoming an integral part of marketing online for many businesses. How many “likes” you or your business have is proving to be the common denominator for how effectively you are branding your business online using Facebook.

There are many ways to promote your fan page and the one where I have seen personal success is through using Facebook Adverts. Facebook Adverts allows you to post a content ad onto Facebook and every time someone clicks on your ad or your ad is seen in terms of impressions, you will be charged accordingly. This is also a highly effective way to market and you can direct your Facebook Ads to certain places on your fan page such as your blog, videos, built-in lead capture page, or a relevant article thread that you have created with other members through the comments that have been posted. This is powerful!

Creating a group is also very beneficial as this will enable you to raise your profile as an expert in your area.

Why you need a facebook fan page?

Sat, 11 Dec 2010 03:48:06 +0000

If you run a business, or are just a Facebook user, you very much need to create a Facebook Fan Page. What is a Facebook Fan Page like? It’s a Facebook page that anyone can create no matter whether you have your own business or not. On this page, you can present any information, for example your company logo, the goods you sell, company news, video presentations, flash animation, and so on. Facebook Fan Page is needed to connect large corporations, stars and celebrities, small firms and businesses with a large amount of people. As you may know, your personal profile on Facebook allows you to connect to maximum 5000 people. Facebook Fan Page has no limitations, thus you may have millions of fans.

You don’t need to be a star to create your own page. Anyone can create a Facebook Page, no matter if he or she is a star or not. If you already have registered on Facebook, why don’t you create a Facebook Page and begin promoting your business?

Here are some reasons for you to create a Facebook Fan Page:

Facebook Fan Page gets indexed by Google. This means that all the information on your fan page will be found by Google search engine, but your Facebook profile contact won’t be. If your Facebook Fan Page content is found by google.com, your business stands a better chance as it can be found by all Internet users and not just by Facebook social network users. Moreover, the links on your Fan Page will be highly ranked as nowadays facebook.com is the second most visited website by alexa.com ratings. This means your website will be placed higher in ranking thanks to the links on your Facebook Fan Page.
Unlike your personal Facebook profile, you can use your company branding, such as name, logo, or URL, on a Facebook Fan Page. Also, you can create your Fan Page so that it has the same look and feel as your corporate website, YouTube Channel, or a Twitter page, or, on the contrary, so that it look differently. This will help preserve your image and style that your audience already knows.
Ordinary people don’t have to be Facebook users to view your Facebook Fan Page. Your Page can be visited by anyone who found it on Google.com or other websites. Of course, those users who don’t yet have a Facebook account will be offered to join the network.
Also, you should know that Facebook.com has over 500 million actively communicating users. This is a huge base of your potential clients.
Facebook Fan Page allows you to have an unrestricted number of fans. For example, at time Lady Gaga has 14, 686, 09 fans.

You can send updates to all your fans at once and you can include links, photos, and multimedia. But don’t forget that too many updates all the time can be annoying, even to your fans.
When developing your own website you can be confronted with financial difficulties, such as forum support, content updates and much more which can be quite costly. But on it’s all different on Facebook Fan Page. You won’t need to invest into functionality as it’s already there. Your fans can write on your wall, place photos and videos. They can also post questions. All this allows building strong communication between your clients and your business. Your wall posts will only increase your fans trust into your brand. It goes without saying that your fans will love the Fan Page and the possibility to communicate with your company there will motivate your fans to come back again.
You can upload audio, video, and photo files to a Facebook Fan Page absolutely free. By adding such files you are increasing your fans interest, and you don’t need to worry about your page bandwidth. The files you add will keep your old and attract new fans.

As you can see the above stated reasons to have a Facebook Fan Page created are all positive points that can have a good impact on your business development. That’s why no matter if you’ve been with Facebook for a while or just joined, you absolutely need to create your Facebook Fan Page. It is precisely a Facebook Fan Page that will help make your brand recognizable, your website visited and your fans satisfied.

Increasing the number of Fans on your Facebook Fan page

Wed, 08 Dec 2010 17:46:25 +0000

Increasing the number of Fans on your Facebook Fan page.

With over 500 million registered users on Facebook right now, no doubt, Facebook is one of the most potential tools to promote your business. People are nowadays using more social media rather than search engines to make their buying decisions.

Creating a Fan page is quite easy. Getting people to like or be fan your page is the challenging task. Yet there exist some easy and simple ways. Some of which are:

- Using intelligent words

Use of intelligent words is crucial when promotion through social media. When deciding to make a purchase, we often influenced by how fast we can have the product (gratification). You can activate the emotional triggers by using words like ‘instantly’, ‘immediately’ or ‘fast’.

- Embed Widgets on your websites

Select from a number of the new Facebook Social Plugins and place them on your website and blog. TheFan Box widget is now the Like Box and it works well to display your current fan page stream and a selection of fans.

- Add to your Email Signature Block

Instead of promoting your Facebook personal profile (if you do), include a link to your fan page in every email you send out. If you are using g-mail, it allows you to put a permanent email signature at the bottom of every mail you will be sending.

- Update your contents regularly

One of the most important work is to update your fan page with fresh contents, posts, articles, pictures or news. This will keep your fans up-to-date about your latest products or services. Also every times you update you page, facebook notifies it and even your fans get aware of it on their walls..

- Recommend to your friends and contacts

Recommending your fan page to your friends and contacts is a quick way of growing your fans and get a lot of ‘likes’. You can ask your friends and contacts to send a recommendation to their contacts in turn. In that way more and more people will be aware of your fan page.

- Use of facebook applications

Adding any application that is related to facebook is indeed very helpful.

- Get Fans to tag photos

A picture says a thousand words.If you host live events, be sure to take plenty of photos and load the photos to your fan page and encourage fans to tag themselves. This, again, pushes out into their wall and friends’ News Feeds, providing valuable exposure.

- Facebook Fan Box

The Facebook Like Box, formally known as the Facebook Fan Box, is an application that you can grab from your Facebook Fan Page settings page and add to the website of your choosing. So make sure to put a facebook fan box in your website. Just don’t miss anything.

- Link your facebook account to Twitter

Linking your facebook account to Twitter automatically post your facebook content to Twitter. You can edit what gets posted, choosing from Status Updates, Photos, Links, Notes and Events.

- Submit your fan page links

Submitting your fan page link on the walls of other pages will increase your page visibility to others. This may be one of the most simplest ways to increase visibility, hence your fans.

- Suggest to friends

Actually this depends on how many facebook friends you have. The more you have, the more you can suggest your fan page to.

- Use the share button at the bottom left of the page

The share button is used to share a page on your personal profile. In such a way others can see it. So it increases visibility. It is recommend to share periodically and to put compelling comments along.

- Use of SocialOomph

Personally I found this very effective. It is of such a kind that can be periodically programmed to automatically post links and comments on social networks such as facebook, twitter, among others simultaneously.

So with only one tool you are able to post on many major social sites periodically at the same time. It saves time and no need to log on each time to post individually on each social network.

- Facebook Ads

If you only have a Facebook Fan Page for ego purposes, spending money on increasing your Facebook Likes or fans may not make much sense. But if you hope to send your Facebook fans to your website and convert them to customers, whether through an ecommerce purchase, clicking on an AdSense ad/Affiliate link/advertising banner, or getting them to sign up for your newsletter/email list/etc, spending a few dollars each month to get highly targeted customers is worth it.

- Use of social media

A few ways of using social media to increase your likes or fans would be to promote recent Facebook page posts via a link on Twitter, ask people to stumble, Digg and bookmark your Facebook page and grab photos from Flickr and post them as a link on your Facebook Page.

- Encouraging comments

Post questions and polls and post timely information to encourage current fans to comment, share, and “like” your posts. Every time a fan comments or likes a post, your post will show up in their friends’ Facebook stream, making your page visible to an untapped group of potential fans.

There are many others ways that can help to increase your number of fans on your fan pages. These are the major and easy ones. Hope that turn to be helpful.

How To Get Twitter Followers Fast – Start a Massive Following Today

Wed, 08 Dec 2010 07:33:52 +0000

Twitter has definitely proven itself to be a force to be reckoned with. As it continues to struggle through its growing pains users continue to discover ways they can market their products and services effectively, and get results almost instantly.

Marketing on Twitter is however, an activity which many seem to fail to comprehend. They fail to understand that Twitter is a Social Media, and the last thing tweeters want is to be flooded with adverts. So how do you make money on twitter? The answer is “You Don’t Make Money On Twitter”.

Is this counter intuitive? Is this contrary to what you have learned or heard from the so called Gurus? It probably is…

So what is all this Twitter Marketing hype? The truth is, it’s just hype! Twitter is a Social Media. Let me say it again a “Social Media”, and you don’t approach total strangers in a social gathering and start pitching a widget. Right? I don’t know about you, but most everyone I know would walk away, and consider you both intrusive, disrespectful, and offensive. However; if you share information regarding a place you found where you where able to save considerable money on your oil change, then this is something your friends would appreciate knowing about. Get it? Share information which is valuable and beneficial. If it helps people save money then it is worth talking about.

While thinking about this article, I wondered if someone had already written about it, and if they had done a good job at it. Well it didn’t take long to find a great article written about Marketing on Twitter. So instead of trying to come up with a clever way of saying the same thing, I decided to republish the article for your benefit.

Twitter is one of the internet’s newest social marketing crazes. Twitter is reshaping the way that people think about traditional marketing and is spawning a new generation of web 2.0 marketing gurus. One of the keys to marketing with Twitter is to gain a large targeted following. Learning how to get Twitter followers fast is easy if you have the right resources.

First, here are some Twitter Following Limits You Should Know.

There are some Twitter following limits you should be aware of. Twitter limits the number of people that you can follow in an attempt to reduce the spamming activity that is prevalent on Twitter. Currently I have over 3000 followers but have hit some limits along the way. Once you reach 500 followers Twitter will put a hold on your following activities and will make your followers catch up to the 500 mark. Once you catch up and now have 500 followers per 500 people that you follow, you will now have the 10% rule applied.

How to get Twitter Followers Fast – Getting Targeted Followers

Targeted followers are the key with Twitter marketing. The more people that you have on your Twitter account that are interested in the products or services that you are marketing, the more success you will have. One of the best ways to do this is to search for people that are Tweeting about the Niche that you are in. Once you find a handful of people that are tweeting about your topics, check out their bios to see if they are in your niche. If they are, look at their followers and simply follow all of those people. A lot of people now have auto followers that will automatically follow you back but to really get Twitter followers fast you will have to unfollow the people that do not follow you back. I usually give them about 3 days to follow and then I will unfollow them using a free website called Twitter Karma. Just Google it and you will find it. Regularly doing this will allow you to keep adding followers with out stalling out by the 10% rule.

How to Get Twitter Followers Fast – Marketing

There are a lot of facets to learning how to market effectively on Twitter and there is still a lot of research taking place to find the best methods. The main Cardinal rule is that you should not spam people with an endless amount of Affiliate links. Instead spend some time retweeting interesting tweets an using the @ reply feature to start conversations.

One of the best resources that I have found to date is The Tweet Tank. The Tweet Tank not only shows you many more tricks on how to get Twitter Followers fast, it also shows you how to effectively market to them on complete auto pilot. This program will show you how to gain 20,000 followers in about 90 days and will make you a good income in the process. One of the things that I love about this program is that it is easy enough for the total newbie to jump aboard an make money but it also teaches the advanced marketer some tricks that are not publicly on the web. In my experience I was able to make my money back with this system in less then a week. ( I got a sale at about the 500 follower mark) It is ridiculously cheap and worth every dime.Tweet Tank
