3 Rules For Social Network Marketing Dorks To Live By

Are You A Social Network Marketing Dork?

Are You A Social Network Marketing Dork?

OK, be honest with yourself here.  How often have you felt like a total dork when people start talking about “getting on” Social Network marketing sites like Facebook, Twitter, or in the old days MySpace?

I’ll have to admit, for the longest time, I myself never really “got it” and how to conduct oneself on those kinds of sites like that.

What I always saw on there people “friending” each other, using automation tools to add masses of friends, spamming the he** out of each others inboxes saying things like “This is a can’t miss opportunity” or “Go here to learn how to get 100,000 Twitter followers” or such nonsense like that.

But really, thats not the purpose of it all, nor the best use of it by any means.  Especially is you hope to generate network marketing leads.

Personally, I’m a pretty straight forward guy, ex-Army grunt, ex corporate guy and saw things as kind of black and white. Do this, test and tweak it and either it works, or you improve on it.

Anyway, what you see here are 3 rules for “Us” Social Network Marketing dorks to live by.

Rule #1 Spam unto others…..and people will hate you.

Don’t go out and endlessly tweet or post on peoples walls or email them about how you are offering “mentorship” or ” a great system” or anything like that.

Your main objective is to connect with others and interact with them, and let me know how cool you are ;)

Rule #2 Give first, before you receive.

Social Network Marketing is all about interaction and sharing.  But how to you start off interacting with others?  You can comment about their “stuff” or content that they promote.  Better yet, go ahead and “re-tweet” other peoples information and help promote THEM first.

This will help get you noticed as someone who is helping them get what want and makes them much more likely to check out what you have.

Rule #3 Be a part of the conversation….because it’s going on right now.

An old adage in marketing is to “get inside the customers head and talk to what they are thinking and their problems are”.

On places like Twitter or Facebook, people are ALWAYs talking about their problems and what is on their mind at that moment.

“My kids are sick”

“I can’t get any leads for my business”

“I feel so tired”

“I hate pestering my family and friends in my business”

And silly little things like that.

If your business or product can help them alleviate any pain, or achieve any kind of pleasure that they are going on about, and you are present there with information to help them out (again, not spam them), you have found yourself a very eager buyer.

So, go out there on those Social Network Marketing sites!

Hey Josh,

Thanks there. Yes, Social Media seems to be all the “craze” right now and so many are out there proclaiming how to get “100,00″ twitter followers and thinking that is going to help build your business.

Social Media is really just another venue to connect with others and to allow them to get closer to you and your business.

To your future success,

Hey Kurt,

Some good points there, and I am digging that Jim Carey goofy picture! lol

I find social media a good place to connect with your list, it adds another dimension instead of daily email blasts.

Great Post.

Hey Wayne,

LOL, yeah, very goofy picture there. Sometimes you’ve just gotta let loose and use some humor in your business. Set’s you apart.

Make no mistake…social media IS powerful, but kinda like anything else, if you go about it the wrong way, you are gonna have trouble with it.

To your future success,

Kurt Henninger
