Hallo again,

here I am back for you with some more details on Social Networking:

Social Networking is not only a great possibility for checking up with old friends and mates, it is also a very powerful tool to find groups of interest. All systems have groups of interest you can sign up to. There you will find people from all over the world that share one same interest. This interest might be singing, painting or online business. It might be cooking, gardening as well as sharing experiences of proud parents. Whatever your interests are, you can be pretty sure to find a team or group in any of the social networking sites. And this is exactly where we come back to the traffic driving aspect of the Social Networks.

Consider the power of a tool that gives you the possibility of having access to a huge group from all over the world interested in let us say golfing. Saying huge group I mean huge group as many of them have over 5.000, even up to 45.000 people (that is I guess the biggest one that I have discovered) subscribed to them! On the other side let us assume that you have a golf course that you are promoting, for instance on “How to increase your score by 10 each time you play”.

Can you already see and feel the power of this? You will just need to look for one of those groups, make friend requests to them (which is quite time consuming but very effective) and then you will not have to do anything else than write about golfing on your social networking site, inform people about and on your blog about all your golfing knowledge and they will come by themselves to get more from you. This will be exactly the moment when they will enter your “traditional” sales cycle, enter your opt-in site (very often known as Magnetizer page) and so on.

In general, it is recommended by renowned Internet Marketers to have a friends list of about 2000 people. I know that this sounds a real lot, and it is. Just consider two important aspects to it:

1)      You will grow your list over time – let us say 6 months to have about 2000 is a challenge but a feasible goal.

2)      These 2000 people will bring automatically new traffic to your site, your friends list will grow steadily.

Questions, recommendations, feedback or other – I always love hearing from you adn receiving your comments!

To your success,

Your Kasia G.
