Most marketers don't understand how to use Facebook properly! Which is really sad because it's one of the most potent marketing tools you can have.
When you first started marketing your MLM online, isn't Facebook one of the first things you tried? How many other struggling marketers are on Facebook looking for ways to build a business? It's a goldmine...
And a lot of people treat it like they're handing out flyers at the mall.
They think "I can get my link out in front of thousands of people, instead of like 30 at the mall!" Then what's the right way to use it? Well, Facebook is social and your blog is social...
they make the perfect marketing duo! People aren't afraid to jump onto someone's blog from Facebook because it's an extension of the social aspect of Facebook.
Plus, blogs are a non-threatening way to read up about someone.
By non-threatening, I mean that they aren't going to be pestered into joining something, yet they can still get value.
Facebook has actually been my #1 source of traffic throughout the life of my blog, and the formula for doing it is really simple.
3 Ways To Get FB Traffic To Your Blog #1.
Blog Link in Personal Messages I've seen people try to do this, but many can't get it right.
Or are just too lazy.
When I accept a friend request or send one out, I always send a personal message along with it.
That helps set me apart from all the noise out there.
It's usually a very friendly message and I'll point something out on their profile that we have in common.
Then I close the message and at the very end I just put a link to my blog.
It's not intruding on anyone or interrupting the message I'm sending.
It's almost like a p.
s.
and it's easy to ignore if people don't want to visit.
But, people can see that it's a blog because the URL has my name in it.
Very frequently, the person will respond back and mention that they loved my blog, and even ask me questions about different aspects of it.
Sweet, huh? Since they've visited my blog, I'm way ahead of any other marketer trying to get their attention! #2.
Facebook Tribes These have been a very hot topic lately, and a lot of people have built a serious flow of traffic to their blogs with tribes.
Basically, a tribe is where you can share other people's content, and they share yours in return.
Usually it's with the Retweet or the Facebook Share buttons.
On Facebook, type "tribe" in the search bar, and look for ones associated with your niche (like MLM or network marketing).
Make sure to share others' content when you go posting on the tribes, or else it won't work for you.

Facebook Groups Facebook is overhauling the way that the groups work, but they're still a great place to share your blog.
I usually try to make my post look attractive with a little description that invites tons of curiosity and then share my link.
There! Hopefully at least one of these strategies will help you get going on Facebook.
These aren't "one-time" strategies, but they work together to snowball over time.
Plus, the traffic you get from Facebook is some of the best you can get because Facebook users tend to be more willing to share, comment, and participate on your blog.
What's your favorite FB marketing strategy? What works for you? Feel free to leave me a comment and use the share buttons! Have an awesome day, Erin
