How to Build Your Networking Marketing List Using Social Media

Social media is one of the most powerful platforms to help build your network marketing list.

The reach that social media provides helps massively to build your business if you feel you do not have enough credibility in your network marketing.
As a new entrant in network marketing, social media helps you to achieve the following in a very short time, which is:

• building authority

• building a brand

• and build a following

Results based on case studies done by individuals proudly say that with the help of social media, they keep getting inquiries about the product, about the company, who are the partner companies, how did successful individuals build their business, how do they build their blog, potential leads, etc.

In this blog, I will be illustrating the benefits about how social media is one of the most powerful marketing tools that helps in recruiting business by delivering your message to the target audience –

Network marketers have three target audience – Cold Market audience, Hot Market audience & Warm Market audience.

A. Cold Market Audience (First Target)

The type of people in this category are the ones who do not know you yet. They haven’t heard of your brand or product. Such audiences are the ones who you have to bring into your pipeline and expose your brand. Social media plays a crucial role here for each piece of content put out to attract the type of lead that you want in your business.

B. Hot Market Audience (Second Target)

The type of people in this category are the ones who have prior experience in network marketing. These individuals have said yes to the profession even though they might have been successful or unsuccessful in network marketing. Hence your content here needs to be selective since the audience here is looking to take this profession up as a full-time or a part-time.

Hence, the cold market and the hot market network marketer who has not had success yet are about 50/50 in terms of the potential because, in many cases, the hot market network marketer who has not had success might have had a lot of poor training.

C. Warm Market Audience (Third target)

The type of audience here is the people you potentially know and have had a personal relationship with.

Own a Website

It’s important to have your own blog so that you have a website in order to route your leads generated through social media directly into your website. All contact information can be traced and captured on that website once you have people visiting your blog.

Importance of creating your own list of clients with whom you had healthy relationships over social media.

We all need to know that we DO NOT have a fraction of control over social media. For example, we start interacting with those people who have commented on pages (eg. Facebook) or posts put up by renowned entrepreneurs who are raging success in the business industry which can help attract a whole lot of people sign up with you. The simplest way of doing so it by making a healthy conversation and interact with them thereby building a strong relationship so that they stick with you. Further, you cannot make a list and add these leads into your list, simply because we do not have control over the social media channel in case the said page/post falls apart, in this case, we will not be able to retrieve the conversations we had with those clients that we build a good relationship with.

Hence, you need to ensure that a list of those clients has been maintained separately by you. Maybe a phone list or an email list. Most commonly this list is known as an asset list by marketers.

“When you have a bill, you can send it to your list.” – Russell Brunson.
So, when we have a bill, and we send it to a list, meaning we promote something in that list, that list pays us, and we use that revenue to pay off whatever that expense is. Russell Brunson business ventures are fully funded from the list that he’s built through his marketing efforts.

An email list is not a lead list, in the beginning, it remains as a subscriber list.

The list prepared by you by gathering a potential client interaction list is simply a one-way communication channel. Hence, we need to ensure that we maintain a good relationship with those potential clients in that list by drawing the attention of these clients in that list by either conducting a webinar or by booking a free demo, or else, that list which you have created will simply remain as an email list.

Let’s all take this scenario as a live example. How many of us actually receive emails sent out by various companies which actually is found in junk emails and we overlook that email and end up deleting it?
We also need to understand that people can opt into any possible list and receive non-productive information until they are willing to pay for something productive. So, by only be spending some money we do receive value for the money spent.

Once we have an email list, you start writing healthy content about how to grow your business through network marketing in that free list. Once you receive good feedback, eventually prepare an alternate list where it’s a paid list. You will see that people will start subscribing towards that paid list. For people who have subscribed for a paid list, you need to feed them with regular and healthy content, and not the content you will be preparing to send out on the free list. The subscribers need to feel the value for their money. The subscribers here need to have that personal touch.
Free is the enemy of success.

Free is the pathway to success, but it’s the enemy of success as well, especially when your mindset is one of, “I can get everything for free, I don’t have to pay for nothing, and I can still make it.”
