Here are the simple steps that you need to do and know how to do:


1.Set up your facebook profile.Your profile should be all about you, not all about your business. This might seem strange, but trust me, if you'r all about sell sell sell and people don't find something of value, they will hurry to another page. Nobody likes to be sold on the first date! There are 3 important parts of your profile page that you need to set up. First it's the picture. The picture obviously should be of you. Choose a picture where your smiling and that is pretty close up. Under the picture there is a small box for you where you can write a mini bio. Make it short and describe yourself to the reader. What is you profession, what do you like about it and what are your expert fields. The last important part is the URL field where you can put your landingpage, your blog or a link to your twitter profile.


2.Adding Friends. Off course if you want to generate leads you need to add new friends. Be careful not to add to many or facebook will block you. Go into a profile of a person that is already your friend and that is in the same business as you. Simply add some of their friends. Doing this you will find people that have the same interest and people that will find your opportunity or you as a person interesting.


3.Facebook Groups. A really good way to get out to your target audience and to generate new leads, is to set up a facebook group. Facebook lets you invite all your friends to that group and as people join this will become a highlight on their wall, so that their friends can see it and join as well. Other members of your group can also invite all of their friends. What's really great about facebook groups is that when you'r the admin of a group, facebook lets you send out a message to every member of that group. In that way you can, lets say once a week share something of value to your group members. You should also join other groups and share comments, pictures, links and videos to these groups.


4.The News Feed.This is what everyone sees on their homepage when they log in. Here everyone can post whatever they like. You can share a texts, photos, links and videos. Off course you need to share something to your audience. But what to share? The number one rule here is to share something of value for the reader. Share a good quote, a link to a informative article, a good video that you found on YouTube or your view on a news story and so on. You can also share something fun. It's very effective to share a joke or a fun video. What you want to achieve with your posts is getting people's interest and their comments. If people like what you share, they most likely will go ahead and check out your profile. Share something your grandmother would be proud to read!

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
