Social Network Marketing
New To Network Marketing

Network marketing has been around for several decades, but social network marketing is relatively new. Regardless of how old or new each one is, they are an effective way to make money if you know how to use them properly.

Let’s start by defining ‘network marketing‘ and ‘social network’ so we are on the same page as we move forward.

Network marketing is a business model where you share the product and business with prospects, and you earn more income based upon the size of your active group. There are several variations of this model, and many of them can also be defined as multi-level marketing, though they are not completely synonymous.

‘Social network’ refers to the group of people you know and share things with, but in the online world this network extends to the networks of all of the people you know, and all of the people they know, and so on. It’s easy to see how quickly you can expand your reach by using online social networking sites.

Social Networking Combined With
Multi-Level Marketing & Network Marketing

Put it all together and you get social network marketing, which is one of the most exciting methods of marketing to come along in quite some time. Why is this so? The best way to answer that is with a question: have you ever watched a movie based on the recommendation of a friend? Almost everybody has, and that’s where the beauty of social network marketing lies.

What we’re getting at is that people tend to have a distrust of advertisers, but they tend to trust their friends. Social network marketing gives you the chance to get people to recommend your products and services on your behalf. So, while you get the ball rolling by giving people something to share, the goal is to get them to take over the spreading of your message. It works even better because people trust the recommendations of their friends more than they trust a marketing message from a business.

Social Networking & Network Marketing
Were Meant For Each Other

Things get a bit tricky here, and it will require some top-notch marketing know-how. The big secret is to write your social network marketing messages in a way that sounds natural and not like an actual marketing message. When you do it right, you can quickly grow the size of your network marketing business. Not only will you grow your business, but you will also be reaching prospects that are “warm” because they will be introduced to your offer by a friend of theirs.

As you can see, social networking sites and network marketing are a perfect match. It’s the kind of union that is waiting to be harnessed by anybody that can see the bigger picture and is ready to make the most of it. Social network marketing takes a bit of finesse, but it is fairly easy to do. However, reading about it won’t do any good at all; instead, you need to take action and start making it happen.

Review of Social Monkee …25 FREE Backlinks A Day!

March 2, 2011 by scottparat 1 Comment

Everybody needs backlinks today! Google’s latest slap will cause us to focus more clearly on getting high quality backlinks…… and I found a place where you can get 25 free high quality backlinks per day!

Social Monkee is an addon for firefox that allows you to simply click on an icon, a new window pops up, you fill in 3 titles, 3 descriptions and 3 sets of keywords and the program automatically spins and mixes the content along with a keyword rich backlink right back to the webpage that’s in your browser. It works perfectly for me and I plan on upgrading soon to the paid version. Its only $47, a one time charge and then you can submit for 100 backlinks 3 times a day.

This is a new service so its worth getting in now while the getting is good! They’ve got lots of improvements planned and the service is taking off like gangbusters. Keep in mind, all links are on UNIQUE C Class IPs and Domains!

High quality backlinks are harder and harder to find. Give Social Monkee a try and start adding daily backlinks for easy indexing and quick page rank. I ran across a pretty cool Review of Social Monkee from the warrior forum ……. after reading it Click Here to sign up for Social Monkee.

Review of Social Monkee

Currently I’m looking for a possibility to get social boomarks for my different domains and inner pages on different dofollow social bookmarking sites. This is the reason why I heard and read about Social Monkee. After reading all posts in this thread I jumped in and upgraded directly to Premium Account for the one-time fee of $47. I don’t like monthly payments so much.

After reading through the User-Guide in the Members Area and installing the Firefox Plugin I start to submit my first URL – a main page of a new money site round about 3 hours ago. Everything was really easy and I got the chance to input 3 different KWs with 3 different descriptions which have to be a minimum of 160 characters. Thumbs up for this and the longer description I have to input – it’s more work ok… But I think it’s worth it.

Some minutes ago I checked everything in Scrapebox because I directly got a report with 82 backlinks and a rss-feed for my first url submission. My results were that most of the domains are PR0 – some PR1 and 2 were PR2. This is OK but I would like to see some aged domains with decent PR in the future if possible.

Then I checked if my backlinks are already indexed. I didn’t expect anything but I saw that 1 backlink is already indexed in Google and 48!!!!! are already indexed in Yahoo. The best of it I did really nothing extra like pinging, rss submission or whatever.

So, all in all I would recommend Social Monkee. It’s still in Beta and New but it has real potentail. For $47 one-time in the premium account it’s a steal.

Some adjustments should be done to improve the overall features for this service but I will continue using it.

Thumps up!

Social Networking Benefits

December 27, 2010 by scottparat Leave a Comment

If you hear the term social networking you might immediately think of sites like Facebook and Twitter. These are some of the biggest social networking sites but there are actually hundreds of social networking, social media and social bookmarking sites on the internet. These big social sites dominate the industry and would have more members than all the other smaller social sites together. Let’s take a quick look at some of the bigger players in the social networking game and how they can benefit you.

1. Facebook – Facebook is huge and is probably the biggest social networking website with millions of members worldwide. Facebook offers many different applications and games and many of the games themselves have become incredibly popular. Games like Farmville, Mafia Wars and Social City have people playing on Facebook for hours at a time.

Business people are now also using Facebook to network with potential customers and build a strong customer base. Facebook allows you to connect with customers on a personal level and build a strong and trusting relationship with them. You can also create fan pages and groups on Facebook that can be very useful for any business person marketing a website or business online.

2. Twitter – Twitter is also extremely popular and brings about a whole unique for of networking. With Twitter you micro-blog which is when you post short updates to your Twitter page. If you are using Twitter to promote your business you will want to seek out other Twitter members that are interested in your niche. When you find members that could be potential customers you then ‘follow’ them. When you begin to follow people many of them will follow you. Whenever you post an update to your Twitter page, your followers will see it.

The more members you have following you the more people you have to market to and you will find more and more people will begin to follow you. Keep on building up the number of people that you follow and your followers will also increase. When you have updated your own website or blog then you can put an update on Twitter with a link to your website or blog. Your followers can then see your website link and visit your website. You can even update your Twitter status via your mobile phone.

Twitter is an amazing tool for promoting an online business and there are thousands of Internet Marketers profiting from Twitter every day.

3. MySpace – Although MySpace isn’t as popular as it once was, it is still quite popular and has thousands of members. MySpace has a number of niches within the community where you can meet people that share your interests or people you can market to if your business is in that niche. MySpace is one of the original social networking websites and connects users who share interests in books, TV shows, videos, music and much more. You can make new friends and you can share images and music with those friends.

4. LiveJournal – Livejournal is a social network blogging site where you can create your own blog within their community and other community members can read your blog posts. This is a great way to blog about your business and you will have a large community of members that you can market to. Every user at Livejournal has a blog account and you can leave comments on other member’s blogs. The more active you are in the community the more users will comment on your blog and follow your blog posts.

5. Flickr – Flickr is a little different than most social networking in that it is based around photo sharing. With Flickr you can create an account and upload your favorite photos. Photos can be tagged, shared, edited and commented on and you can connect with other members through your interest in photography.

6. Digg – Digg is another great social networking site that is based around sharing news and media with other members of the community. When a member shares a news story, other members can leave comments or rate the media by ‘digging’ it. The media with the highest number of diggs is the most popular and will have good exposure. This is a great way to promote your business if you can get a high number of diggs and get a lot of exposure to your article.

These are just some of the top social networking websites and there are many others. If you are looking for a method to market your business then why not try some social networking websites.

Google Social Networking An Alternative

December 27, 2010 by scottparat Leave a Comment

Google is huge and seems to be the biggest at everything on the internet. Although there was one part of the internet that Google wasn’t involved in and that was social networking, however they are now trying their hand at social networking as well. As Google has become the biggest in its field in many areas on the internet including search engines, email and paid advertising, they will also aim at being the biggest in social networking.

Social networking websites such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are incredibly popular worldwide and in fact they have become quite a phenomenon. These social websites offer a fantastic opportunity for people to connect with other people all over the world. People can connect with their friends, their family, the work colleagues and businesses can use these sites to reach out to new customers. There are literally millions of people worldwide that use social networking websites and now many businesses are also using them as part of their marketing plan. A business can increase its customer base drastically by using social networking websites.

So where does Google fit into the social networking scene? Google has now joined the game with its very own social networking website called ‘Orkut’. A very strange sounding word I know but one that will soon be common to us all as this networking site becomes more and more popular on the internet.

Orkut has become very popular in Asia and also in Latin America and is now also gaining in popularity in the United States. As with any project that Google embarks on, they are working hard at making their social networking site one of the biggest on the internet. Google is aiming for Orkut to dominate the social networking market so that they can have the same success, if not more, as Facebook and other social network sites have had. Orkut has grown incredibly in popularity in China and Japan and has had more than 11 million visitors in just one month alone.

Facebook is certainly one of the biggest, if not the biggest, social networking site in the world and only time will tell if Google’s Orkut will have the same success and become as big as Facebook. One thing for sure is that Google never do anything by half measures and they will give this project the attention it needs for them to succeed. Google has proven time and time again that they can be very competitive in the strongest of markets.

While other social networking sites like Facebook are capitalizing on this popular market, Google are certainly working hard to get in on the action. If Google can offer its members something enticing then there is no reason why they won’t be successful in the social networking market. If you already have a Google account then you are already half way through the registration process with Orkut so why not go ahead and sign up to Orkut and start using this new social networking website to your advantage.

Social Media Marketing Video Brings Online Marketing Success

October 21, 2010 by scottparat Leave a Comment

Getting website visitors is your main job when building an online business. With the internet there is no such thing as stagnant. Things are always changing, improving and evolving. Combining video with social media will really help you get a leg up on the competition. Using social media marketing video is great, but how do you do it?

Here are a few basic concepts to keep in mind when you are planning and implementing your strategy:

1. The videos you make have to be high quality but what does that mean? Well it doesn’t mean that you have to hire actors or pay thousands of dollars for state of the art effects. What it really means is that the audio and video are clear and that the information is presented in an easy to understand format.

2. Keep your videos fairly short. The average is less than 5 minutes. If you are providing some sort of educational video you don’t have to adhere quite so strictly to this rule.

3. Make an outline of the points you want to cover before you start recording audio for your video. The last thing you want to do is be a stammering fool. If you listen to your video and you find the word that is spoken the most often is ‘um’ you really should go back and re-do it.

I know that is a hassle and takes time but if your video is filled with pauses or stuttering people will lose patience and will click away. If no one watches your video you will have wasted your time anyway. Do it right or don’t do it at all.

4. Remember that success is not only about quality but quantity as well. You need to submit videos on a regular basis. One great technique for doing that is to create a video series. You make a ‘how to’ video on whatever subject relates to your niche but instead of covering all the information in one video you break it down into smaller segments and create multiple videos. This will encourage your visitors to come back.

5. When you submit your videos there are some rules to follow too. For one thing, make sure that you include keywords in your title, description and tags. This will help your video stand out and get noticed.

Also, while it’s important to have your video submitted to a lot of places you want to make sure that it’s only submitted to quality sites. You don’t want your dog training video to show up on an adult site. That won’t help your credibility.

Submitting your video to 20 -30 top quality sites is better than blindly submitting it to 100 less desirable sites.

When it comes to getting the most out of your social media marketing video efforts you’ll of course want to start off with the ‘big’ ones such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. After that you can add to some smaller, yet still high quality sites, to make your video work as hard for you as possible.

AutoSocialPoster Posts To Social Network Sites

March 16, 2010 by scottparat Leave a Comment

Cruising some IM forums again, this dude had the following question:

Is There A WordPress Plugin That………
Posts to the majority of the social network sites out there?

I have ones that do a few like 5-10 (twitter, FB, tumblr, etc.)

I’m looking for one that can post to 150-200 at once.

Since I use Auto Social Poster I thought I would fill him in on some of the features of ASP.

Auto Social Poster is what you’re looking for. I purchased several years ago. It’s expensive, but it does the job.

Updates are usually at least 1 per month….sometimes weekly.

The number of social sites it will auto post to range from 20 to 30, it varies due to the constant changing of the social sites to get rid of programs like ASP

The coolest feature is the process by which you send the autoposts. First you enter your username and password for the available social sites….let’s say there are 25. Next, you can tell the program to post to all the sites with each blog post…..which will get you banned from some of them…..or you can tell the program to post to a minimal number of sites. I usually pick between 3 and 5.

Not every post to the social sites will work….as I said, the social sites constantly change their programs to prohibit autoposting…..ASP does a good job with continual upgrades.

Another cool feature is that you can set up multiple accounts to each social site. If Mix is your favorite site, you can create 5 or 10 Mix accounts and add them to ASP and ASP will randomly choose between your Mix accounts.

One very nice feature is that you can download your social sites accounts that are set up in ASP to a text file and use it for your other websites that you have the Auto Social Poster plugin installed.

Every time I use ASP with a new blog, the site is indexed within hours. Great tool, one of the best kept secrets of successful online marketers.

Sorry….but I have a killer migraine and afraid I’m not making too much sense If you have any questions, maybe I can answer….send me a PM.

If you want to purchase….I even have an affiliate link

Good luck!

Web 2.0 Basics Page 8

A. This is another technology rapidly gaining popularity. RSS technology, or “Really Simple Syndication” is a tool anyone can use to tell the world at large about new blog entries or web entries. What you do is set up your site content using RSS tools or content aggregators. What happens is any time you post new information to your page, that information is fed to people that are linked to your feed.

Q. If Web 2.0 isn’t new, who cares?

A. Web 2.0 isn’t new, but people are finding new and innovative ways to use it. If strategic, you can use Web 2.0 to market your products and services and promote your business or site to millions of people around the world. You do have to do this in a politically correct and decent way. Many applications allow readers to interact with the Web pages they browse. These applications are all part of Web 2.0 technology, and include SOAP, XML, JAVASCRIPT and AJAX. These interesting technologies allow you to interact with a web page that is live in much the same way you would interact with a page from your own computer, a page you created.

Web 2.0 isn’t new, but people are now taking an active interest in becoming members of a global community. Thus, Web 2.0 is becoming a lot more popular than it has been in the past. Sites including Gmail, Flickr and Digg are all the rage among collaborative types interested in link and information sharing on the Web.

Conclusions

Web 2.0 is a popular term used to describe an old system but new way of thinking about and using the Internet. If you are an entrepreneur or business owner, you will find 2.0 is a great tool for promoting your business and establishing your credibility on the Web.

If you are someone interested in sharing information and forming collective communities on the Internet, you will also find 2.0 technology something new, exciting and innovative to explore.

No matter your intent or purpose, it’s worth a little time and effort. So take your time and explore 2.0 for all it is worth. Have fun, and share!
