Creating Facebook Fan Pages for Social Marketing

Tags: ,

Recently just for experimental reasons and of course to later to generate traffic, I was playing with the creation of Facebook fan pages.

It’s really unbelievable to see some of the most basic fan pages that have thousands upon thousands of fans. So anyway I decided to also create a few fan pages that were also quite general just as a trial to see how far they can go.

What I found is usually people who join fan pages, join because it’s something they also believe in relating to the topic or have an interest in or remembering something about the past. There are hundreds of ideas I have about fan pages, these are a list of a few that I did:

1. Who wore MC Hammer Pants in the 90’s
2. I had a bowl cut in the 90’s
3. Your first job at 13

Of course I have other fan groups that do ok in other areas such as business or for clients, but this lot was purely for fun and as a trial to see how quick they grow.

When creating fan pages I find the most important factors to generate traffic to those pages are by coming up with a catchy titles, adding regular content including videos, and photos so that users can comment on them.

You can actually promote your fan pages further by using the Facebook advertising feature to send traffic to your site that way, or of course using Internet Marketing methods.

Do not get confused between fans or groups, Facebook groups are more for businesses and charity etc. that hold regular events and discussions. Where as Fan pages are more general and everyone is usually invited to be a fan of something!

Does anyone else use fan pages for promotion? What kinds of results are you seeing?

Custom Twitter Backgrounds for Branding Awareness

Tags: ,

Just recently I launched TweetyBack.com a Twitter background website which allows Twitter users to download their own free background and place this in their profile twitter account. The range of free twitter backgrounds I have are much nicer then the standard backgrounds that Twitter has.

Furthermore I have also set up the chance for businesses to design and have your own custom Twitter backgrounds. I have my own design team on standby for custom designs ready to put a professional background Twitter theme together for your business needs. Including logo, and nice description and eye catching layout. You can see this is our first one we did for GSEO.net recently.

By having a professionally designed Twitter profile, you will gain a lot more followers and popularity and will also help in giving clients a better first impression and idea about your business, leading to more lead generation and sales. The price of a normal custom designed theme is $79, but for the first 10 orders to build up our portfolio of clients we are designing at a crazy $50. So please go and order your Twitter background and after doing so, post in the comment box and we will refund you $29 immediately.

Adding Up To 1000 Followers A Day To Generate Revenue Using Twitter

Tags: ,

I have recently posted about Sponsored Tweets and Making Money online with Twitter. Just to go in a bit more depth I would like to show you some examples on earnings as a result of getting thousands of followers per day. I use a program called TweetAdder.

The 2 programs go hand in hand if you want to make money from your followers. TweetAdder allows you to add up to 1000 followers per day and targets specific niches, so for example if you want to follow people who are related to a certain industry you can do so in the search tab. What is also nice about targeting the niche when following is that you get a conversion rate of users who you follow that actually follow you back. So you can tell if that specific niche is worth following!

The great thing about it is you can unfollow in bulk as well and this unfollows users that have not followed you back. If you are following more people then what people are following you this can get you banned over time, so the idea is to have the majority of users following you.

You can see as a result of my popularity now from having thousands of followers, I have gained sponsors on my twitter page. Not only do I use Sponsored Tweets I also use Be-A-Magpie. Here are some earnings from the last few days:

beamagpie

Not huge but the earning potential is high. If I can gain more followers and as a result get more sponsors I could be making $100 a day just from tweets. So my goal is to be making around $50 a day from tweets by early next year and then atleast $100 a day by mid to late next year which I think is very possible.

For anyone who hasn’t heard about Shoemoney, he claims to have made $15,000 in 1 month from his twitter page. Having over 70,000 followers. Bluehost is one advertiser you can see he gets and which I also get, so lets hope they keep advertising with me. Im sure they will as long as they see a good ROI.

Digg Your Way To Success

Tags: , ,

Everybody knows that Digg is one superior social bookmark. This is one of the top and famous social bookmarking sites ever existed here in the internet. It was mostly used by the webmasters and bloggers to “Digg” their blog posts or submit their websites and blogs to Digg. Digg is also considered as a social community or a social network, which you can edit your profile, making lots of friends, share lots of your stuff and many more. You can gain traffic here by means of submitting tons of blog posts that you’ve been published, and let everyone read your blog based on the niche or category you have stored in your blog. Many of the affiliate marketers right now are successful in terms of submitting their sites to Digg, because they know that many people are using Digg right now than the others like StumbleUpon, Delicious, Mixx, Reddit, Propeller and many more.

Digg also has a high PR, backlinks and targeted traffic worldwide. It’s free to join you know and they just need a valid URL of your blog or website which you can choose either news story, image or video. I would rather say we submit our content as a news story, because every time we update our blog and to publish a new post, it’s just like we get some latest news like a newspaper, and we update it by choosing a right category and many categories to choose from

Digg also make sure that you don’t have duplicate contents or any kind of plagiarism you’re attempting to. It’s not appropriate to submit a duplicate content that was already existed in the Digg database, or else you will get banned or removed from the database.

Digg has their own rules you know, as long we follow their Terms of Service (TOS) and guidelines to use them, we have no problem in getting traffic to them. Once you submit the blog or the blog post, it will be seen live in the Digg world, and people there may comment to your blog and to visit your real URL. If there are buyers out there, who are also members of Digg, they can check out your website and to see the products you’re promoting, and you will earn sales and revenue from their purchase.

This is one thing that affiliate marketers are so successful by using Digg, and it’s not yet too late for all of us, we could be like them just to use Digg for our business.

Using Short Links On Twitter

Tags: , ,

Twitter is one of the most anticipating social networks existed in the history of internet today. There were millions of members already who registered in this amazing  social networking program that focuses on one thing, in which they ask you a question “What are you doing?” As you can see that there’s a message board on the upper part of your main account page, not your profile, it’s what we call “Tweet”. It is a unique term used for Twitter itself, and they assure you that you can “Tweet” as much as you want, based on your interests. If you are interested on sports, then you are only connected to a group who are interested on sports only, or if you are interested on business, then you’re only connected to a group who are interested on business only.

As for me, I “Tweet” to promote my blogs, websites, hoplinks, affiliate programs and other programs which I can drive traffic through it. But there are certain things in order to make your link very unique, and that is to shorten your links. But how to shorten them?

It’s quite simple actually, you need to register on the following programs I’ve recommended:

1. TinyURL

2. Bit.Ly

These are sites that will automatically generate your links for sure. All you need to do is to register an account for free, and to insert your long or short URL of your main website or blog..and WALAA! Your short link has been created. It started with the website (Bit.Ly or TinyURL.com) with the respective number after the slash of the website.

More and more people are successful through their “Tweets” by using short links like TinyURL and Bit.Ly, and it keeps on coming until somebody follows you and you will generate more followers than you ever imagine. You can also put your short link URL in your ReTweet button, which will allow them to tweet your article or blog title in your website or blog, and it makes simple for just using short links.

Using long links are not good enough, but instead the shorter your links are, more space will be followed in the Twitter’s message board.

3 Ideas On How Google, Twitter And Facebook Could Double Their Profits

Tags: , ,

IDEA 1
How about this, this is bigger then big! Remember the days when domains came out and even now the huge landrush that is occuring when a new extension comes out. Everyone is trying to secure their company name or even personal name. Well guess what? The same thing is happening already in facebook and twitter, which means those who have missed out on geting the name have missed out completely.
money

Well how about this for an idea. What if Facebook and Twitter made the user that wanted to secure their name lets say www.twitter.com/johnsmith and someone else with the same name really wanted their name but it is already taken. How about if they designed a bidding platform that made users bid for their name. I mean let’s get real here, everyone who has secured their name, I bet you atleast half of them would be prepared to pay for it no matter the cost. I know I would.

IDEA 2
Now get ready for this idea, and I hope your sitting on your chair nice and tight. What if Facebook allowed Google to display search results in their site. They could even go as far as allowing the Google Adwords sponsored listings display in there too. Then of course there is Google Adsense aswell. Can you imagine the click through rate! It would double for sure! Im still surprised they haven’t done a deal on this.

We already know that Twitter approaches advertising differently and are very anal about their ads, but how about if they secure a deal, they were last weeks having talks about displaying tweets in google search results.

IDEA 3
The billion dollar toolbar idea – Google and other companies such as Microsoft are quietly making billions a year from their toolbar. From some case studies they are averaging $20 or more from each user that downloads their toolbar. It’s not a surprise that Facebook now have a toolbar.

But actualy Twitter don’t have their own toolbar instead their are 3rd party sites with twitter toolbars and are cashing in!

Benefits Of Facebook Group

Tags:

When Facebook was introduced to the public, a lot of them attracted to this unique social networking program that competes with Friendster, MySpace, Perfspot, Tagged and so many others.  Facebook is much more different than any other social networking sites right now, because of their many applications, marketplace, message boards, chat rooms and so on.

Facebook Group

Facebook is simply designed as one of the simple but attractive social network companies in the world. Today, millions of users are now getting involved here in Facebook, since Friendster and MySpace took over the heights for the past few years. Now Facebook rules the whole social networking world, which millions of users are now using Facebook for fun, entertainment and business.

Speaking of business, Facebook has applied themselves a grouping application called Facebook group. It is usually designed for Facebook members to form their own group which interests them. Like we say for example, if you create a group about search engine optimization (SEO), then you expect that the ones who may join your group are interested with search engine optimization (SEO), and it keeps on coming. You can discuss with each other there about SEO, promoting your SEO services, giving tips to other groupmates, blogging about SEO and so much more. This depends on the person’s interest. If you create a group about sports, entertainment, music, etc., then you expect that only those who have interests in your niche may join your group.

The benefit of creating a Facebook group is to make more friends which they have same interests with you, rather if we’re talking about search engine optimization (SEO), affiliate marketing, sports, entertainment, music, education……it depends and all matters! Other business related sections here in Facebook are contextual ads and Facebook marketplace.

In that way, you can advertise your own products and services, and even promoting jobs and opportunities. Facebook is simply one of the best social networks today, not only to make fun and always make friends with each other, but also promoting your business and services which can be applied by creating your own Facebook group. Some members of Friendster, MySpace, Perfspot, Tagged and other social networks have shifted to Facebook because of their amazing simple features, compare to their old ones.

Right now, Facebook has many signups daily rather than Friendster, MySpace, Perfspot, Tagged and other social networks. Paid social networks like Apsense, Frenszone, Yuwie, PeopleString are also competing with Facebook which members are paid to do anything, but not really promising as usual. Nobody beats Facebook as of now, through Facebook groups, you may be benefited with lots of friends and potentially making your business successful in the upcoming years.
