People are signing up with the social media sites in hopes of fulfilling their dreams of having true success with an online business.
They have been told that social media marketing is the best way to drive free traffic to their sites.
Although this is true and you can build a big following just from your social media friends, there is an art to this.
You've probably heard by now that the online industry is mostly about building relationships.
Some people think it's only a waste of time but let me ask you one question.
How is what you are doing working for you? You see, by building relationships and getting to know what other people want, you can then add value by helping them.
Whether that's from free reports, videos, podcast, conference calls, webinars, whatever you have to offer.
So how do you avoid making big mistakes with social media sites? The way to get people to want to work with you is not to approach them from, "Here's what you can do for me.
" That is the wrong way to go about it..
You need to come from a place of "Here's what I can do for you.
" I know a lot of people get very frustrated and have a sense of urgency about getting people to join their business or opt-in to their site for more information.
But by having that sense of desperation, that makes your potential prospects run the other way.
In order to have success with building relationships with people on the Social Media sites, you have to take you out of the equation.
It's not about you, it's about how much you can help someone else.
You will find more people attracted to you once you realize this.
This place can be very confusing at times but once you learn the right way to go about helping others, it will all start coming back to you.
Just try it, you may be surprised.
