New Money Blueprint

I’ve been using Twitter to connect with more people and attract more prospects to my network marketing business. This is just a part of an overall strategy to generate more leads, and it is an important part of the strategy. You can connect with other people out there that are interested in network marketing opportunities. That is if that is your target market.

Building Relationships
Network Marketing and building business in general about developing relationships. There is a lot of information on the web and in books related to building relationships. One of my favorites is Bob Burg’s “How To Cultivate Relationships”. I actually have this one as an audio book that I listen to when I am in my car. This same information can be applied to building relationships on the Internet. Part of building relationships and networking in general is to give before you get. Kind of like “Seek to Understand” instead of seeking to be understood.

Posting Relevant Information
You need to add value and not just pitch your opportunity. If you are always pitching your opportunity, people will just start ignoring your posts and may even block your posts. Adding value may be passing a link along to a resource that may be of value to the people with  whom you want to connect. Or it might be sharing something you learned that helped you in your business. I know that Twitter doesn’t give you a lot of space so you will have to write relevant articles and post a link from Twitter to your article. The article can be on your blog, something you posted to Squidoo or one of the many articles websites out there.

What Do You Have To Share?
You are probably asking yourself, “What Can I Share”? Share an experience that you have had or something that you recently learned. People are hungry for information, but it has to be useful information. For instance, I recently learned more information about how to create an effective YouTube video using Camtasia. I shared that information and have helped quite a few people that have viewed that information.

Connect With Like Minded People
Be a little picky with who  you connect with. You want to connect people that are on your path. Like Minded People. These are the people that you can relate to and will find in an interest in what you are saying. Your Twitter account should remain on topic. Start following some of the major players in your industry and other people following them will connect with you. Then you’ll see them show up in your twitter account. You now have the opportunity to follow them back if you so choose. Check them out first and see what kind of information they are sharing.

Twitter Lists
I’ve recently discovered the power of Twitter lists. With lists you can basically create categories of information that you want to follow. You can add people to the lists that you want to zero in on. You might do this because the amount of twitter messages will build and there might be someone specific you are more interested than others.

Keep Posting
Just keep posting, make it relevant and make it interesting, but by all means be consistent.
