Is Facebook Just a Waste of Time? Part 1

If there is one thing I have learned since joining the world of Internet Marketing, it is that Facebook plays a pivotal role in my business maybe more so than any other ways of marketing.

Facebook launched in September 2006 and has literally taken the world by storm and in January 2009 a study ranked Facebook as the most used social network site by worldwide monthly active users with MySpace coming in second. Funnily enough despite the fact many of us Internet Marketers out there use this site for work purposes, it is common practise in the work place to ban Facebook to discourage staff from wasting time!

Well since nearly everybody I know has Facebook you might be thinking that I'm a bit slow off the start to actually be writing an article about a networking site everybody already knows about! However, I have wrote this article to emphasize just how essential this site actually is to budding new Internet Marketers who have little or no marketing budget, and to stress the importance by revealing that many successful Internet Marketers out there actually made their first sale (and several sales thereafter) from Facebook.

So why is Facebook so important and not to be viewed as a waste of time? Facebook allows you to actually make friends with potential customers or colleagues and this is hugely important because people buy from people (not businesses) that they like, know and trust. It also allows people who are interested in your business to see what you have to offer as a business person and as a mentor. Many people underestimate the importance of building friendships online which is what Facebook is all about, you get more of a sense of the person in a way that perhaps you wouldn't from the likes of Twitter for example.

I have found the best way to make the most of this highly popular networking site is to not sell, sell, sell to people. You don't make friends with people by constantly hounding them trying to get their money! This is also mutually beneficial because it allows you to connect and share useful information with other perhaps more experienced Internet Marketers, and you can't knock help like that! People will buy from you because they actually like you and you will buy from them because they have helped you in the past and you have helped them. What more could you ask for from such a wonderful and powerful tool?!

In Part 2 of this article I will giving away my strategies on how I have fully utilized Facebook to the max! So stay tuned...

It Takes Dedication to Be a Success Online, Have You Got What it Takes?

Many people come across Internet Marketing while surfing the net looking for business opportunities or simply looking for ways to make money, but the fact is many of these people had never even heard of Internet Marketing before they stumbled upon this Industry! In this industry today more and more people who have no previous experience and no expertise have dedicated themselves to this business and are now earning an incredible income from this business. The only question is; is Internet Marketing right for everybody?

There are many reasons why people should go for it when it comes to starting your own Internet Business, but only one reason not to and that reason is that this business is not a get rich quick scheme. If anyone comes across this business and thinks that work is not involved then simply put they have been fed false information. It takes dedicationto make this business work.

So many people are finding huge success from the Internet and have completely turned their lives around, these are the people who have dedication to educating themselves and will keep learning continuously in order to become a better teacher to others. They surround themselves with positive people and others leaders in the industry in order to learn and grow from them.

Secondly the dedicated Internet Marketer will be persistent and consistent, this is emphasized so many times by top earners in this industry and is so important that it needs to be reiterated. The Internet Marketer that reaps huge success from what they do, does so because everyday they have put some effort into their business whether it be large or small.

And lastly, the dedicated Internet Marketer will never give up. The most dedicated person wants to achieve their goals, they can see the end result and are willing to keep working at it until they crack it! These are the most successful Internet entrepreneurs and are of the mindset that there is no obstacle they can not overcome and nothing that will stop them in achieving their dreams.

So even if someone has never heard of Internet Marketing but wants to make a change in their life for the better, then with a little bit of dedication there is nothing that can not be achieved.
