In today’s computer world there are a lot of opportunities to promote your product or services and Social Networking could be one of the best ways to do it. Unfortunately, most people in this realm of marketing are so hungry to succeed that they may be making huge mistakes. If you are on some of these well known sites like, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and others… you may have noticed other people or maybe even yourself making these common rookie mistakes.

Opportunity or Failure. It's Your Choice!

Social networking is first and foremost a place to build relationship. If people don’t build any relationships, they are highly unlikely to be successful in promoting any business. These people could have the best thing since sliced bread but if people don’t like what they are doing, it’s not going help them open any doors. Just remember, people are more likely to join a person vs. any business opportunity they have to offer.

It seems as though everyone out there claims to be an “EXPERT” on Attraction Marketing techniques but there are only small percentages that really “walk the talk.” Most of these so called experts are so desperate to be successful; they are the ones making most of these rookie mistakes.

Here are a few examples to make my point.

1. Twitter: Thanks for the follow! Want to get 20-50 leads per day?

Check out my site: (Example) tinyurl.com/I_can’t_but_maybe_you_will

2. Twitter: Thanks for the Follow! Looking forward to your tweets! Make money online, grab your free report (Example) Please_Please_Please_Read_My_Report

3. Facebook: Thanks for accepting. Looking forward to our new friendship.

Been telling others of a new energy drink that facebook is soon to promote. Product E

(Example) productenergyclub.com/preview/
(Example) myproduct_is_the best.com/drink

Then they go on and on about the product or what a great opportunity this is… Then if that wasn’t enough, they go on to tell you how they can help you grow your business. After all, they are very successful and they how help you since they just finished reading a 40 page e-book.

And they complete with “Thanks for being my new friend! John & Jane Desperate”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? They actually try to start selling me from the very first opportunity and then call themselves my friend. Think about this, would you seriously say “Now this person is person I want as a business partner.” No! Probably Not! You are more likely to get turned off by this marketing technique.
Let’s take a look at this from another perspective. Let’s just say that John Desperate owns a car dealership and he gets invited to the neighborhood picnic. Everyone there is having a great time eating, playing games and just getting to know each other better.

But John Desperate see’s the huge potential of making money off all these new contacts. So here’s what John does… Everyone John meets the first thing he tells them is how he owns a car lot and they should come see him because he has the Best Car Lot and Prices in town. Now, John goes on telling them about everything he knows about cars, financing and how they would be a fool to not look at his latest deals. It’s all about ME, ME, ME while passing out his business card while he goes on from one person to the next. We’ve all seen this approach and think about how many of these people you actually did business with. Probably not too many, Right!

As you can see, this sales method doesn’t work and people shouldn’t use it in your Social Network Marketing either. In order to be successful, people need stand out from the rest of the pack.

In today’s world, using a different strategy people could actually stand out from over 90% of the crowd. So at this point you need to ask yourself, are you using John & Jane Desperate methods or are you truly building relationships for future SUCCESS?
