Top Three List Building Mistakes You Are Making On Social Networking Web Sites
Lots of people are joining Facebook and Twitter (and some of them are probably in your target!). And since people in your target market are using Facebook and Twitter, you should be using these social networking web sites too. Participating in these web sites is great for inviting people in your target market to join your email list.
If you are a heart-based service professional, and you are looking for the best ways to find more clients, then you must get started in growing your list. And social networking web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, are some of the best places to invite people in your target market to join your list.
If you are using social networking web site, such as Facebook and Twitter, but are not able to use them to grow your list, chances are you making some of these mistakes. Here are three list building mistakes you are making on social networking web sites and how to fix them:
Mistake #1: Having An Ineffective Social Networking Profile
When you are networking with people on social networking web sites, and they want to learn more about you, where do they go? They go to your social networking profile, of course! But, if your social networking profile is not effective and doesn’t let them know more about what you do, they will move on to the next one.
How to fix this: Make sure that your social networking profiles on web sites such as Twitter and Facebook have information about what you do and links to subscribe to your newsletter. If you do not have any information in your profile, how are people visiting your profile going to even know that you have a newsletter?
Mistake #2: Being Completely Invisible On Social Networking Web Sites
Sometimes service professionals create accounts on social networking web sites and stop right there. To get results from social networking, you must take the next step and start participating and becoming visible. If you are not involved and visible on social networking web sites, people will not be able to connect with you. And if they cannot connect with you, they won’t join your list.
How to fix this: Get involved, become visible and start building relationships with people who you meet on those social networking web sites. When people who you are connected with on social networking web sites talk to you, learn from you and see that you are an expert at what you do, their natural next step is to learn a bit more about you through your profile. They will go to your profile and if they see information about your newsletter, they will at least check it out.
Mistake #3: Not Sharing About Your Free Gift And Newsletter
If your profile is the only place where people can learn about your newsletter, then you are losing subscribers every day. In order to get more subscribers, you must share information about your newsletter using your status update, as well as your profile.
How to fix this: Use your profile updates from time to time to let your social networking connections know about your list and your free gift.
