I can't say enough about facebook and what it has done for me personally and for my business. I don't use it like most. I don't do paid advertising, I don't do fan pages or any of those things. First to understand how it benefits me, you need to know I am huge on the laws of attraction. I believe like attracts like.
I don't promote money making products by the way. I am into relationships and the dating niche. Pretty competitive. I started with a small group of friends. If you have read my blog, you know that I am not out to get rich quick and I take the slow boat instead. I still am hovering just under 600 friends, but these friends I find are like minded individuals. Somehow I have attracted them over the last year. My market is targeted so to speak and it is growing daily, slowly but surely.
Just today a facebook friend posted this "I have grown to love this book of faces. Last week, when I was feeling badly, I felt lifted by the support here. With the right intention, FB is a perfect place to bridge to humanity and to work together to elevate and enhearten consciousness. Out in the world, the unconscious media can muffle our message, but here, they can't stop the soulnami of goodness from inspiring humanity. Sacred purpose, everywhere...".
The above says it all for me. The people that have come into my life and my path are amazing. I have had complete strangers mail me offering support, seeking advice, and encouragement. It amazes me.
On my wall you will find all sorts of things. From gratitude, to struggles, to inspiring quotes and yes all my articles and Squidoo lens post there when I update or publish. People actually read them. I think they read them because they have learned to trust me.
Another amazing thing that has helped me so much in business is the groups I have been invited into. Motivational groups, intentions groups, dating groups, all sorts of groups that allow me to get my message out. I never spam. I contribute more to these communities in the form of posts and get to know the group members more than anything else. I build relationships and these relationships build my business for me.
Yes this is a slower way, but it works for me and I can sleep at night because I know what I am doing is right. I know I am giving back to these communities. I love facebook, that much is very very true. I love my facebook peeps and fans and I think they honestly feel this, therefore, they trust me. It's real.
So maybe I am not a technical guru on facebook and maybe I don't do all those marketing tricks, but facebook makes me about $700 dollars a month with just under 600 friends and all I do is have fun and post and interact. In honesty, I think facebook has enriched my life more than I could ever make in money.
I started all of this a little over two years ago with this little thing here. One week marketing. Today still it is still my main cash earner.
