I created a Poll on my Facebook profile in regard to whether Facebook is really an effective marketing tool; the results were 100% Positive. All those who participated indicated it’s a useful tool for marketing.
Facebook falls under the Social Networking and to some level a Social Bookmarking tool. At first as an internet marketer I was reluctant to use Facebook as I didn’t think there is any commercial value in it. I had a profile created way back (about two years or so). It grew from 3 to about 300 friends. At some point I would decline to accept friendships from people I don’t know, Later this year in May 2009, I set an objective to create a new profile for self branding and for marketing my products.
I started with 7 friends who were not in my previous profile and come July 30, 2009 the friends count had grown to over 1,300 and counting in less than 3 months.
So what are my secrets?
- The Notes Application
I Imported feeds from my blog and every time I would update a new post it was posted on Facebook as well. My blog posts were interesting and actually irresistible so friends would share the notes on their articles and it would show am the original author. This led to an increased number of friend requests since the friends of friends wanted to connect so as not to miss on future posts. If you do not have a feed or blog you can use the one for this blog or try the one for Freelance Jobs
- Facebook Groups
Start a group about something that you believe in or have much knowledge about. Most people make a mistake of starting groups with their business name. However, most users will consider it as interruption as they are using Facebook as a social tool and are taking a break from work, so filling their inbox to join a company group is intrusive according to social standards. Imagine if you went to a social event and you met this person who even before they ask your name they start telling you our company is about this, our company is about that, we have some offers. That’s pure noise and if you value your time like me I guess you would just walk away.
That said if for example you sell health products then start a weight loss Group or Health tips or awareness but no something like “Heath Company PLC”. You can join my group on Supreme eMarketing | Make Money Online and See how I do it there.
- Facebook Profile
Imagine yourself as a product on shelf. Why would one opt to pick you onto their basket instead of someone else? Would you buy a product that is not branded on plain paper or recycled bag. Why am I saying this? I have seen user profiles with pictures of Pop stars and other celebrities. They also put their profile description some funny phrases like, “am just me” or “why do you want to know”. Ok. Let not me dwell the negative but rather insist you need to put a nice profile picture with a big Smile and some brief description of what you are about. If you are an Internet marketer or are already reading this, it makes you one. Then head over to my profile | Mike Ndegwa | and add me as a Friend and learn what else I do to Increase Value to My Internet Friends.
- Messages
Most People start groups and just watch them grow to big numbers. There are no discussions happening in the group. In most cases people who joined want to learn on that subject matter. This makes sending messages to your group vital and not to be feared. I send messages to my groups every 2 to 3 days and am not afraid of a mass exodus of people leaving the group because in every message there is value and I market Value. So my readers thank me for it. If you started a group and don’t have content. I have some 15,000 Private Label articles that you can rewrite to suit your voice. They are in over 250 categories and you can find them listed here. You can use them and even claim yourself as an author. It’s important that your audience view you as an Authority in your field. “People entrust their money with people they trust. The more they trust you, the more they buy from you” Author Unknown.
- Participate and Share
Companies do not have Facebook or Social Profiles but people do. People are social beings, it’s therefore advisable that you relate with others as a real live human. See the trending topics on people’s status, comment on them, and tell people what’s in your mind by putting a more natural status other than get complicated quotes all the time. Be yourself and don’t Spam people.
- Request People to be your Friends
I did this the first two weeks and I got a warning from Facebook. So don’t request more than 5 people a day, in as you much as you might have all the right intentions your actions may appear spammy as judged by Facebook bots and their no no-nonsense algorithms. If people ask you if you have met when you request for friendships, just be honest, introduce yourself and let them know you are networking. Some people consider their profiles and what they share to be very private and you should respect that and don’t be rude.
- Add friends from Lists.
If you have a list of friends in your newsletter or mailing list put them in an excel sheet, maximum 3,000 per list. Upload the contact file and Facebook friend-finder will screen all emails and will let you know who is on Facebook on who is not. I recommend that you only add or request friendship to those already using Facebook and desist from inviting those who have not joined already unless you have a very good and know list relationship.
- Personal URL
A URL is like a special link that takes people to your page e.g. my Facebook link is www.facebook.com/mike.ndegwa I share it everywhere I go, on forums, blogs and article directories.
If you follow the 8 steps above you account will grow and be fruitful on autopilot.
NB: There are many futures and ideas that you can use to make your face book experience awesome and profitable. The ones I’ve listed are those that have worked for me. You can share your experiences by commenting on this post.

3. Personal auto-responders for members to use as they wish.
You may have heard the term “the money is in the list,” referring to email lists. Well it is, but traditionally, you would need to purchase an auto-responder system separately to be able to efficiently stay in touch with your email lists. Teamwork Revolution Power System includes a personalized auto-responder free of charge.
Auto-responder features:
- Automated email sequences that will be sent out as you personally schedule it.
- Mass email your opt-in contacts for news or announcements.
- Easy integration to capture-pages.
4. Pre-made capture pages.
It has been proven through research, and is well known among all top Internet marketers, that obtaining a prospect’s email address through a capture page and keeping in touch in with them (such as through the auto-responder provided by TWRPS) can boost your productivity by up to 66%.
Capture pages are important to initiate desire and anticipation of prospects
who can opt-in to our company auto-responder (explained below) for more information and be added to your auto-responder list as well. The second you sign-up as a Teamwork Revolution Power System affiliate, your personalized capture pages will be automatically created on the fly. Branding yourself is an integral part of marketing, and with our service, this is done instantly, saving you time and effort. Your marketing can be executed immediately.
Your pre-made capture pages will include:

- Continuous automated email marketing sequences through our company auto-responder, sending targeted promotional emails to your prospects to assist you in recruiting them. Every email address “captured” though your pre-made capture pages will be entered into our system, added to our company’s auto-responder list, and be sent a series of pre-written emails to greatly enhance your marketing efforts and fill your downline as quickly as possible.
- The ability to ‘remember’ you as your prospect’s sponsor for 90 full days. You will still receive a commission even
if the prospect signs-up as an affiliate 90 days after first visiting your capture page, as your information will be stored as that prospect’s sponsor.
5. Ability to create your own capture pages.
With our easy to use sitebuilder, you can create your own capture pages that can be integrated with your own personal auto-responder, included at no extra charge.
Alternatively, you will be able to choose from our wide variety of tested ‘high conversion rate’ capture-page designs to create them almost instantly.
6. Company Auto-responder.
As explained above, every single email address “captured” by your capture pages (whether using the pre-made capture pages, or your own personally designed capture pages) will be entered into our company auto-responder list. From that point on, your prospects will begin receiving a series of promotional emails, pre-written by James Al-Oboudi, inviting them to become members of Teamwork Revolution Power System. This is an extremely valuable service for those who simply don’t have the time to market or stay in touch with their prospects in an effort to recruit them. The lack of continual contact with prospects can lead to a dramatically decreased productivity rate, which makes this service indispensable. With the combination of our pre-made capture pages, company auto-responder, and home landing page, 90% of your job as a marketer is done for you by us.
7. Online conference rooms.
Experienced marketers fully understand that keeping in touch with your downline is crucial to maintaining success as an affiliate marketer.

This is a tremendous tool to greatly assist you in building a strong downline of powerful Internet marketers.

Furthermore they have an affiliate program where if you introduce two people below you: all your subscription costs will be taken care of:
I would like to privately invite you into something that can change your financial future forever, as it already has for so many others. It is called Teamwork Revolution Power System. It has designed to be mathematically superior to every home-based business or matrix program that has ever been created, or ever could be created, and I would like to privately invite you to join me in this history making opportunity, as what has been done by this company has never been done before.
In virtually every way, this program is mathematically unbeatable. It allows all members to break even and recoup their monthly membership fee WITH ONLY TWO REFERRALS (which is mathematically unbeatable), provides the fastest spillover rate mathematically possible, has a payout percentage of 96.8%, and allows all members to earn an average of 450% more money than the owner of the company.
It is a 2×8 forced matrix with a monthly membership fee of $29.95 that pays out 96.8% in the following format:
Level 1: 2 people x $15 = $30 (Already in profit with only 2 referrals)
Level 2: 4 people x $1
Level 3: 8 people x $1
Level 4: 16 people x $1
Level 5: 32 people x $1
Level 6: 64 people x $1
Level 7: 128 people x $1
Level 8: 256 people x $8
Total monthly income = $2,330 with only 510 people in your downline
Compare this to other popular programs that require more than twice as many downline members to earn less money, require far more people to break even and recoup your monthly membership fee, and provide much slower spillover rates.
As you can see, with this system you are provided with a mathematically impossible to beat rate of spillover, a mathematically impossible to beat “break even” point, an industry leading and virtually unbeatable 96.8% payout, the ability to earn $2,330 with only 510 people in your downline, which you’ll achieve at the fastest rate possible due to the mathematically unbeatable spillover rate, while earning an average of $4.50 per downline member, which is more than 450% more money per person than the owner of the company makes.
I don’t think I need to explain to you how revolutionary and unprecedented this is. This is something that has never existed in the MLM and affiliate marketing world before, and in all honesty, can’t be beaten, therefore making it impossible to happen again.
This is what the multi-level marketing and home-based business industry has always claimed to be, but has never delivered upon. It’s about serving YOU….not the owner of the company. I invite you to accept my private invitation and get in on this explosive business that is taking the world by storm as soon as possible.

Q. Have you been negatively impacted by the economy?
A. Chances are the answer to that question is yes.
While we can blame the current economic crisis on many things,
there is one thing that has existed throughout history that has
always kept average men and women like you and me down,
and that is the fact that we’re always working and sweating
our butt’s off to make someone else rich while we only get a
small fraction of what the guy we’re working for is making.
Well, get ready to hear something amazing.
I know you’re going to think there is no way it could be true,
but I’m telling you, it is absolutely the truth.
I just got started working for this company that is paying me
an average of 450% more money than what the owner of
the company is making. Yes, you read that correctly.
450% MORE MONEY THAN THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY.
If that weren’t enough, the company has been set up
to get people into profit and earning a minimum of $2,330
a month ASAP with as little work as possible.
In fact, it has been designed to be a mathematically perfect
program and is completely set up in every single way to help
people like you and me first, and the owner last.
If you’ve been hit hard by the economy, or if you’re just sick
and tired of working like a slave to make someone else rich,
