MLM Marketing and Social Networking
MLM Marketing using Social Marketing has become a popular way to get build your network marketing business. These social marketing sites are known as authority sites with search engines like Google, because Google looks at them favorably. This is because these kind of communities have been around for awhile, have lots of changing content and huge amounts of eTrafficLane. Most of them have a very high ranking within the search engines. In this article, we’ll give you some ideas for using social marketing sites for your marketing.
If you post articles on social marketing sites (sometimes known as Web 2 sites), you can get ranked in the search engines more quickly, because of the overall higher authority. Some people liken this to getting into a disco for the first time. If you go to the disco alone the first time, you may not get in if you’re badly dressed because you’re not known to security. However, if you don’t dress appropriately, and go to the disco with some friends who have already been a number of times, security will most likely let you in straight away. It’s the same with the social marketing sites – Google will “let you in” sooner and more easily because you are associating with “friends” that Google knows already.
You can build a brand (a name) for yourself if you post some articles on different Web 2 communities. In addition, when you create your own website, if you place a link to your website from the social marketing sites, you will assist your own site to be seen on the search engines more quickly. This happens because you are creating a relationship between a highly ranked social marketing site and your own website.
One example of a social marketing site is a Squidoo Lens. You can create your own Lens (a web page on Squidoo), put some articles on the lens, and create a link to your blog, your network marketing product page or an affiliate page. There is a lot of advertising on Squidoo, so if you do get some visitors, they probably won’t stay on your page for long because the advertising is distracting for visitors. However, the advantage is that your page will be seen as a “friend” of the community. Therefore, if you link to your own website from Squidoo, this will help your site to be indexed (listed with) in the search engines.
Another example of a social marketing site is Hub Pages, which also have high authority, and there is a community of people who will probably visit your page and comment, especially if you comment on their hub pages. Other sites with good authority are WordPress.com, Blogger, WetPaint, Weebly, Scribe, Propeller and Digg. There are numerous other social marketing sites apart from these.
Even though you post articles onto these social marketing sites, it’s still important to create your own piece (or pieces) of real estate. You might be wondering why?
There are many reasons for creating content on your own blog. By “your own” I mean a site hosted on a server that you pay for, and you are in full control (or you instruct someone else in what to do on your site). There is a risk associated with free blogs, social marketing communities and anything that you don’t own yourself. They can be taken away from you at anytime, if you break any rules. Or, the site could close down for some reason, and all the content could just disappear into cyberspace. I have experienced that situation myself and lost a huge amount of content, which had been ranked very high on the search engines. This set me back a long way in my business.
If you create some kind of system between posting your content on social marketing sites and on your own site, it won’t take long before your articles get seen on the search engines, and you will start getting visitors reading your information. This will create your MLM marketing sales funnel, start building your business and making you Income.
