How to Use Social Media to Become a Six Figure Mama

We live in an amazing day and age where anyone can earn six figures or more by using the internet. Never before was it possible to reach thousands of people who want exactly what you are offering without leaving your house. 

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest aren't just time suckers, I use each of these to build my business and meet new people. There is a ton of great advice on how to build your business on each of these platforms just a GOOGLE away! (and if you join a network marketing company, your team may already have free trainings on this - my team does - so ask before you commit)

I love social media because I'm not a face to face person.  It's not that I'm shy, I just have a hard time opening up until I really know someone.  It's also frankly easier to take a "No" online than in person, so in the beginning when you are building your business and it's harder to accept that rejection, you don't take it so bad. **Note that everyone gets rejected every day in life. It's no big deal!

So if one of your big excuses is "I don't know very many people" or "I don't want to just hit up my friends and family about this business/product" (by the way, you shouldn't "hit up" anyone - this is sharing the product and the opportunity and seeing if it's right for people not icky sales) then guess what YOU DON'T HAVE THAT EXCUSE ANYMORE.  90% of my current customers and the coaches on my team are people I didn't know before I started my business 3 years ago.  Most of them I met online! And they have become great friends and partners.

Here are some QUICK TIPS:

#1 rule in social media - keep your profiles PUBLIC so people can find you.

Facebook - be yourself, don't post links to your timeline, re-engage with friends from your friends list each day and ask them about their lives, NOT your business. Keep business related posts to 1 of every 5 posts.

Instagram - connect with people who like your photos, go to their profiles, like 3-5 photos and comment on a few that you find interesting. Ask questions. Start a dialogue.  Ask them if they want to connect on FB after several exchanges. Do not go around and post on every photo related to your business "hey want to connect on FB" or "here's my website".

Pinterest - always include a link to your blog or website in the description of your pins. You want to drive traffic to your website or offer page.

Twitter - use twitter search to find topics that relate to your business and respond to tweets and ask questions.  Give information and offer value - don't sell.
