Over the last week or so, Google has announced Google Search Plus Your World, an effort that tightly integrates Google+ into the search results in ways never before seen. Because of these changes, I believe that we need to start taking Google+ more seriously.

I'm talking about traffic - a topic that internet marketers, like myself, LOVE to talk about. More specifically, I'm talking about something I'm calling Momentum Marketing, and how it is responsible for giving me more traffic to my Biology Website than I've ever gotten on any website - resulting with over half a million views on my Biology Youtube Channel and tons of traffic to my site.

That's the big thing that most people have the hardest time with when it comes to online business. One of the best ways of getting traffic to your site is by having Joint Venture (JV) Partners - People who already have an audience and are willing to promote your product/service. This is invaluable because it's traffic that you don't have to generate yourself. But here's the problem - Most people go about trying to get JV Partners the wrong way - by sending them an email asking them to promote their product. The likelihood of that succeeding is close to 0%. I've gotten a number of JV requests from people who want me to promote their products, and I've never accepted any of them. Why? Because my list is EXTREMELY valuable to me, and I don't want to take the risk of exposing them to something that I'm not 100% confident in. My list has grown to trust me as a source of reputable info, and that's something I'm not willing to compromise. Not only that, but there are so many well-established products out there that there's no real reason to promote a random product that someone sends you, without having an awesome reason for doing so. With all of that said, there's a right way to go about getting joint venture partners, and that's what I deal with in this episode. You will learn . . . How to get on the radar of big bloggers in your niche How to nurture relationships with them How to get them to promote your product Now, there's no guarantee that every big blogger you approach in the way I talk about in this episode will promote your product, but if you do it the right way, you will increase your success significantly.

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?
