Facebook Marketing – Are You Spamming Or Marketing?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Facebook marketing can be powerful and a lot of marketers are making sorry attempts at marketing on facebook. They go out and start marketing their business opportunity to all their friends.

They post their business opportunities on group walls, on friends walls and send messages with offering their business opportunities. Many are working very hard to promote their business opportunities and products with little or no success.

The failure with Facebook marketing is due to the fact that they are not marketing on Facebook but spamming. That’s right, you’re not getting leads from Facebook because you’re spamming people.

The following are examples of spam massages:

Example 1.
“Hey thanks for connecting. You seem like a very nice person. I would like to share with you a fantastic opportunity. The compensation plan is the best in the industry and the products are amazing. Blah, blah, blah…”

As soon as I get to the “opportunity” I stop reading and delete the message. Trust me I’m not the only one.

Example 2.
“Hi, I want to share with you this fabulous business opportunity, its the best compensation plan and it cost nothing to join.”

Guess what, this message is quickly deleted.

Example 3.
“Hi, you want to join a business?”

I’ve have received these types of messages, I just delete them as quickly as possible.

If you ever sent any of these types of messages or posts on your friends Facebook you actually spammed them. This is a mistake that even the best network marketers have done in the beginning but quickly learned that this is not a way to market on Facebook and other social media sites.

You should ask yourself this question. Why should any one join you or your business?

They don’t know you, don’t trust you and most people on Facebook really don’t care about your business opportunity.

Think of Facebook as a social party a get together with friends. You have interesting conversations, share useful information, network and socialize with other marketers. When you try to sell to everyone you encounter you will become the person to be avoided and risk getting blocked or banned for Facebook if people start complaining.

Facebook marketing is about growing your brand, not branding your business opportunity, its about sharing value with your friends and build trust and relationships. You friends will appreciate this and start trusting you as the person who is not just another network marketer promoting an opportunity but as someone giving away valuable information.

Stop annoying people on Facebook and stop spamming, concentrate on promoting yourself as a leader by sharing valuable information that many marketers need to start creating success. It is the only way to market on Facebook to create results.
