For the network marketer who truly wants to master the art of Attraction Marketing, the use of social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube is a game changer … but only if you learn to use those social media sites the right way.

Social Media Changes The Rules

The emergence of social networking sites on the Internet has resulted in a huge paradigm shift in terms of how and what business is. Business has become more than simply the exchange products and services.

An enduring business depends on the relationships you have with your customers. The advent of the use of the Internet as a conversation medium and the incredible growth in popularity of social networking sites have changed the rules about the nature of that relationship. Partly because of its “social nature” and partly because of the Internet’s unprecedented reach, Social Media has become a key catalyst of a shift towards transparency.

We live in a world of transparency and, in business, it is rapidly becoming an expectation. If a prospective customer is unhappy with something you are doing as a business, they can tweet about it, or post a message on their Facebook page, or write about it on their blog and can reach tens of thousands or more with a press of the “enter” button on their computer.

On the other hand, if they like what you are doing, you can have a raving fan’s testimonial in front of a massive audience in a heartbeat.

This has profound implications for you as a network marketer — and presents a terrific opportunity. That’s because as a network marketer, you are your business; the product you are really selling is you.

Social Media has created the opportunity and the expectation of a two way conversation between you (your business) and your customer or prospect. The quality of your conversations will strongly influence your personal brand reputation, your potential market reach, and ultimately your customer loyalty.

So there is a real advantage to you learning the art of being authentic and using Internet social media well. When you do that, Social Media can serve as the foundation of your list building activities and lead to an ongoing stream of highly responsive prospects, customers and partners for your network marketing business.
