In the episode I mentioned that there are currently over 600 Million users on Facebook. That number is actually closer to 700 Million. This is where people today are spending most of their time online. Since that's the case, if you are into internet marketing, you want to use Facebook. In today's episode I give strategies for how to effectively use Facebook to Grow your online Brand. What's Going On Tumblr has more blogs than Wordpress.com - 20.8 Million vs 20.7 Million. Wordpress has been around for 8 years, and Tumblr has been around for only 4 years. This is a significant accomplishment for Tumblr, and my recommendation is to keep your eye on them. Read This Article for more info. Now, lets get into using Facebook Effectively. Here are some of the things I'm learning that I'd like to share with you. Don't use a regular Facebook account for your business. Use a Facebook Fanpage instead. It allows you to do much more to grow your brand. Do NOT use a Facebook group unless your main purpose is to share things within your team. Groups allow members of a group to connect with each other. Fan pages are for organizations, business, public figures, musicians to connect with fans. What's the difference between a facebook fan page and a group? Groups allow you to send Mass Messages, impose Membership restriction and do Inbox Messaging Pages have many of the features of regular accounts. When you post to your page, it shows up in your fans' news streams. You can use Facebook Apps, can track Engagement metrics, and can get vanity urls if you have more than 40 fans. How to get people to Like Your Page Give them a reason. Use the Fanpage Generator to generate a landing page that will make people want to click like. Add a Like box to your website. Use Facebook Ads (however, this costs money). Tips for how to encourage engagement on your Facebook Fanpage Fill in all of your info and have a good, relevant Fan Page Photo Post consistently. My recommendation is for you to post every single day Don't share a bunch of links. People come to Facebook to engage with people, not to be spammed with a bunch of links. If you share links, do so wisely. Interact with your fans. It's all about interaction. When you interact, people get to know you better and become more comfortable with your brand. Make posts that encourage your fans to interact. Posts that say things like "Click Like if . . ." "Fill in the blank . . ." I started using the above-mentioned tips, and it has increased my fan page engagement significantly. If you implement them, it should help you to encourage engagement, and grow your online brand using the social-networking beast - Facebook. Questions? Comments?

Leslie - The Freebie Guy Transcript of Today's Episode [spoiler] Hey, this is Leslie, TheFreebieGuy from TheFreebieGuy.net, and I’m so excited to welcome you to my brand-new podcast. It’s so brand-new that I don’t even have a name for it as yet. But I’m going to tell you a little bit about that in a little while. First, let me tell you what this podcast is going to be about. I’m going to be using this podcast to share my experiences with you, share some of the things I’ve been doing, some of the things I’ve learned, and in a way for you to learn some of the things that I’m doing and you can take action on the tips and tricks and strategies and so on that I’m going to be sharing with you on this podcast. At the beginning of the year, I made up a post letting you know I would be posting to my blog on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the idea was for me to post text entry. But now I’m going to be doing something a little different, because I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts and audio books recently, and wow, have those things really enriched my life. I mean, I’ve learned so much over the last few weeks. And it’s really cool because you can take it with you, you can listen to it at any time. If you’re driving in the car, you can pop it in the CD player or you can put it in your iPhone, iPod, or any kind of MP3 device, and you can learn the content on the go, which is extremely valuable. You can play it over and over. I wanted to do something like this to help you guys in your journey to online success. Now, I mentioned before that the podcast is so brand-spanking-new that it doesn’t even have a name. This is where I want your help. This podcast is going to be about internet marketing, online business, doing stuff to grow your business, and just sharing tips and tricks and strategies. I’m going to be interviewing some people that are doing what you would like to be doing, what I would like to be doing, even, and sharing those things with you. And I need a name that kind of summarizes all of these concepts. I want it to be short and catchy. So I want you guys to help me with that, and there are 3 ways you can help me with it: You can leave a comment on the blog and give me your suggestion. Just shoot out some ideas. I want to hear these ideas because this podcast is for you guys. You can call me on the brand-new hotline, and the number is 888 835 2414. Haha! Don’t you just love that? I just brought my wife into the recording studio and she put that together for me and I’m so happy about that. It sounds nice. Anyhow, so you can call that number and leave a message letting me know what you suggest for the name for this podcast. This is the best of both options. You can go to the blog, leave a comment, and you can call the hotline! The number’s really easy to remember, it’s 888 835 2414. So if you’re driving along in your car, you’re just listening to this on your iPhone or your MP3 player, just pick up your phone, give me a call and leave me a message. I’ll be happy to check out the suggestions you guys have. For today’s episode, since this is the first one of this brand-new series, I want to talk about something that I really hold dear to me. And what I’m going to do to start it off is I’m going to read an e-mail that I received a few days ago from an internet marketing website. I’m pretty sure you guys have received many e-mails, because I get them all the time, but this is what the e-mail says: “How would you like to turn $1 into $20,000 in the next 30 days doing practically nothing? This guy did, and he’s willing to show you exactly how with a free video tutorial. Check it out” and then there’s a link that says Learning With Leslie clean http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2695/4-reasons-why-its-easier-to-run-an-online-business/ http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2695/4-reasons-why-its-easier-to-run-an-online-business/#comments Thu, 09 Dec 2010 21:17:47 +0000 Leslie Samuel http://www.thefreebieguy.net/?p=2695 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2695/4-reasons-why-its-easier-to-run-an-online-business/feed/ 25 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2551/how-internet-marketers-can-change-the-world-by-giving-value/ http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2551/how-internet-marketers-can-change-the-world-by-giving-value/#comments Thu, 11 Nov 2010 05:05:39 +0000 Leslie Samuel http://www.thefreebieguy.net/?p=2551 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2551/how-internet-marketers-can-change-the-world-by-giving-value/feed/ 8 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2452/i-cant-believe-im-asking-this-but-do-you-want-a-forum/ http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2452/i-cant-believe-im-asking-this-but-do-you-want-a-forum/#comments Wed, 29 Sep 2010 15:25:57 +0000 Leslie Samuel http://www.thefreebieguy.net/?p=2452 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2452/i-cant-believe-im-asking-this-but-do-you-want-a-forum/feed/ 43 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2472/the-7-day-bootcamp-is-now-live-start-your-online-business-today/ http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2472/the-7-day-bootcamp-is-now-live-start-your-online-business-today/#comments Wed, 29 Sep 2010 07:44:02 +0000 Leslie Samuel http://www.thefreebieguy.net/?p=2472 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2472/the-7-day-bootcamp-is-now-live-start-your-online-business-today/feed/ 0 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2213/is-freebie-trading-dead-a-look-at-the-past-present-and-future-of-the-industry/ http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2213/is-freebie-trading-dead-a-look-at-the-past-present-and-future-of-the-industry/#comments Wed, 26 May 2010 16:51:30 +0000 Leslie Samuel http://www.thefreebieguy.net/?p=2213 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2213/is-freebie-trading-dead-a-look-at-the-past-present-and-future-of-the-industry/feed/ 30 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2143/podcast-how-rosalind-green-uses-freebie-trading-to-compliment-her-mlm-and-affiliate-marketing-business/ http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2143/podcast-how-rosalind-green-uses-freebie-trading-to-compliment-her-mlm-and-affiliate-marketing-business/#comments Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:03:25 +0000 Leslie Samuel http://www.thefreebieguy.net/?p=2143 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/2143/podcast-how-rosalind-green-uses-freebie-trading-to-compliment-her-mlm-and-affiliate-marketing-business/feed/ 15 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/1373/strategies-for-making-money-online/ http://www.learningwithleslie.com/1373/strategies-for-making-money-online/#comments Sat, 30 May 2009 01:12:32 +0000 Leslie Samuel http://thefreebieguy.net/?p=1373 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/1373/strategies-for-making-money-online/feed/ 19 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/1341/what-is-calistyle101com-and-how-it-can-make-you-money/ http://www.learningwithleslie.com/1341/what-is-calistyle101com-and-how-it-can-make-you-money/#comments Tue, 26 May 2009 17:35:21 +0000 Leslie Samuel http://thefreebieguy.net/?p=1341 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/1341/what-is-calistyle101com-and-how-it-can-make-you-money/feed/ 60 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/1305/podcast-calistyle101s-first-teleconference/ http://www.learningwithleslie.com/1305/podcast-calistyle101s-first-teleconference/#comments Wed, 20 May 2009 00:23:12 +0000 Leslie Samuel http://thefreebieguy.net/?p=1305 http://www.learningwithleslie.com/1305/podcast-calistyle101s-first-teleconference/feed/ 0 Cali Style 101,Calistyle101.com,Freebie Industry,Freebie Trading,internet marketing,make easy money On Sunday, May 17th, Chris Deals and I hosted the first Cali Style 101 (CS101) teleconference for the members of Calistyle101.com.
