Facebook is not just another social network. It is the definitive social network – the granddaddy of all social networks.  By far the world’s most popular social network, Facebook has just about as many members as the United States has citizens!  Any real marketer without a Facebook presence is missing out on a veritable treasure trove of MLM leads.

Those who know the secrets of Facebook – the power users of the network – are able to generate 20 to 30 leads every day, just by leveraging their presence on the network. With access to so many people, Facebook gives you the ability to exponentially grow your network.

Want to harness Facebook for your own revenues?  Here are the tips that the power users employ to generate leads using Facebook.

Use Facebook for What It’s Meant to Be

Facebook, like any other social network is about one thing: social networking. Do not view Facebook as only a marketing tool. People join Facebook because they want to connect with old friends, form relationships, keep up with college buddies, or find dates. They don’t join in order to be someone’s marketing target. Keep it that way. Make friends. Form relationships. Find dates if you want to, but most importantly, don’t be a marketing nag.

Add Value and Have Fun

Use Facebook to enhance other people’s life. After all, since they are there to be social and have a good time, go ahead and socialize and have a good time. You can send marketing messages, of course, but you don’t want this to be what defines you. Make sure that you are enjoying Facebook. It is not primarily a focus of business activity. It’s more like a hangout for friends. Enjoying Facebook as a social outlet is the best way to translate the relationships into business.

Connect with New Contacts

When you get new subscribers or make new connections on other venues, find out if that person is on Facebook. If they are, send them a friend request and jot them a personal note. This small gesture of “thinking-of-you-and-wanted-to-get-connected” goes a long way in turning that relationship into a warm lead.

Now that you have their connection, you have exposure to them. Every time you post an article, upload a video or make a business move, all your connections get reminded. You’re not annoying them. You’re just staying active on Facebook, and your friends and connections get to watch.

Facebook will surprise you with its value. This simple social networking site is a hotbed of leads, prospects and marketing activity.
