With your own business Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with people. It is a great reminder to others that you are selling a product or service.

Facebook is free and easy to join. Simply use a search engine such as Google to join by typing in Facebook.com.

Create a profile on Facebook. You can put a picture of yourself to make your profile more personal. You can add more photos later to an area of your page. The pictures should show you and your family and photos of your business. Make it very personal so people really get to know you and what your business is all about.

Fill out the information portion of your page. This will show off your business, education, hobbies, links to your business’s website, etc.

On Facebook it is simple to add contacts. You can use the Facebook’s search feature to find people you know. Most people use their real first and last names. Some women use their first name, maiden name and married name to help people find them easier.

By using Facebook to network and rank your business you will help to get your business out there. By getting your business noticed you are sure to sell more of your product and/or services.

Post a link to your business in your comment section five times per week so you help to rate your business higher in Google and other search engine websites.

For example:
If you sell crafts simply use the word craft, crafts and more specific words of your business people will find your website on Google, Yahoo!, etc., with your business link. Make sure you are talking to your friends when using this site and do not make it sound too promotional unless you are using the business Facebook page. If you use the business webpage you will not get your page shut down. The business webpage is there just to help you promote your products and/or business.

Networking with Social Media

A great way to get your business and name out there is with networking using social media. Social media will link you to your friends, family, and their friends and family. When you use networking with social media you tremendously increase your odds of being a successful business.

LinkedIn is a great way to network with social media. You sign-up to LinkedIn and invite your friends and family who have a business. Make sure you completely fill out your profile. The more you fill out your profile, the better odds you will have in getting your information on your business known. You can even put three links to your business, blogs, etc., on your profile. You may put your current job and past jobs to help you sell yourself. You can also attach your resume for potential employers and business.

Not only will you connect with other business people, when your name or the name of your company is typed in Google, your LinkedIn profile link will show near the top of the search engine page. This makes it easier for people to find you and buy from you. http://www.LinkedIn.com.

Twitter is the fastest growing social media network. By using your name or your business name you are getting your name out there in the cyber world again. Make sure you give yourself a ‘brand’ as a name and use it exactly the same with every social media online network website.

With Twitter you leave “tweets.” You can only use up to one hundred and forty characters per tweet. This makes what you say short and sweet and you can always put a link to your business or other interesting things you think customers will want to know about. Make sure you also show your personality here and there so potential customers feel like they know you as a person. http://www.twitter.com.

There are many websites you can network with using social media. The next blog will give you information on networking with Facebook. For more information, please visit http://www.preparednessmentor.com/.
