Facebook iconGetting your business the exposure it needs, the key is to stay current on the trends of online marketing. One of the best places to find others that have experience in your niche is on Facebook. There are plenty of “friends” to be made that will help your business. The various groups on Facebook focus on the many facets of owning a business and even those looking to start one.

Of course you will need to get an account. These are free to anyone and they are easy to use. Go to www.facebook.com and register for a new account. You may already have one but if you want to keep family and friends separated from your business then I would recommend a separate for your business. You may want to give it the name of your business. Another alternative is to make a “Page” that you can update for your business and get your business “friends” to become a fan.

Being self employed with an internet based business you will always want to learn new things when it comes to online marketing. Now you can start fining new “friends” that will teach you new things about this particular aspect. Find those online marketing coaches, gurus and those willing to share their experiences. Find groups that focus on tips and tricks of online marketing. Read about the group and if the group interests you then join the group. Send a friend request to the administrator and also some of the members. Add a message to the friend request to introduce yourself and why you would like to become friends with them. After joining the group keep going back and exchange ideas with others in the group. Get involved.

Now find other groups and friends that focus on people that work from home, self employed, work at home moms and dads. The possibilities are endless. Find the groups that are going to want to interact with and exchange ideas. Even though some of these groups are not focusing on just online marketing, they may discuss other ways to organize yourself at home or even build your confidence building your business offline. Some may even give pointers to help stay on top of the household chores and exchange a good recipe for the slow cooker. These are the groups that may benefit you in the long run and help to motivate you.

The next set of groups you will want to find are those that will be interested in what you have to offer. Facebook has plenty of groups that are looking for you. Your business are a target customer base and these are the groups that you want to join also. If you are selling health products, there are groups that focus on being healthy. Join to these groups and start building a report with the members. Sharing your experience will get others to open up to you and eventually you will be able to send them your link or they will go back to your profile to learn more about you and this is where you will have a link to your website and products.

Other Facebook users have formed groups that just allow others to advertise businesses. The key to online marketing to to get people exposed to your website or affiliate link. These type of groups could be thought of as classified ads. Groups links are always being rotated in the sidelines of all Facebook pages and chances are someone not looking for a particular group will see these links and find you. Becoming friends with other members of these groups will also allow an opportunity for referrals to those you have not reached or even other groups that you may be interested in joining.

Facebook has become a necessary tool to have when it come to online marketing. Joining different groups and getting involved with them will only benefit you and your business. There are idea exchanges and “friends” that will fit you and help you achieve your goals. Continuously add new friends that will help you grow.
