5 Easy Steps To Market Your Social Network and Earn Money From It

by Mario Djivanovic marketer

The interesting and favorable thing about social networking is that it has a sizeable market. There may be quite a field of aggressive competitors out there but there is always a fair chance to enjoy even a small portion of that market. And definitely this will translate to earnings.

How do you vie for a portion of that income from the social networking market? How will you go about marketing it? Here are some tips for you to follow:

1. Choose a specific category or market.

Decide which niche you can cater to. It can be focused on particular group or category like college students of a community, single parents, baby boomers, and the like. You can save money by focusing on a single niche instead of wanting to get everyone to join. Potential subscribers will always have the inclination to join in networks of people with like interests and background.

 

2. Joining other social networking sites is also another great way to market your site.

You can invite your network of friends and contacts in other social media sites like FaceBook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc. to join your own social networking site. There won't be any need for you to sell your site. Casually mention your site but give it a human voice to your friends and contacts. They will be interested to join hearing about your experiences and the perks that your social site offers.

3. Another method is Link Exchange.

You can link with related sites to promote your website. You can have an arrangement with these sites by putting up their banners or other ad types in exchange for your having adspace with their website.

4. We also have Affiliate marketing.

You can have your ad placed in a related site with you paying them a commission or percentage for each signup you get through clicks on your links from their sites.

5. Last but not the least, we have article marketing.

You can submit articles about social networking and related topics to article directories. Through these articles, you can give tips, advice or information with your link to it as a way to promote your website.

There are still other strategies in selling your site to potential subscribers. However, there is one best thing to do - to try as many of these ways as much as possible and see which ones work to popularize your social website.

Hi Mario I def. agree with you there are so many ways to get yourself out there but first things are first you must learn your niche & your target market & focus on bld realtionships & value with that specific grp. I think that this is so much more simple than going out everywhere trying to get everyone from everywhere to join you that by itself can be very overwhelming!

Well to tell you the truth Im in online marketing for more than a half year, still didnt earn anything and still in the phase of learning how to become succesfull. Always looking and reading articles and trying to learn from those. I think Im making good friendships and I agree that is the basic to become succesfull, but I still didnt find anyone who will show me exactly how to find a good product and how to make first payment. I think that im jumping from one prog to another and I listen wrong people from outside. They offer me a help and false promises and I always fell on that. I think that the right people are here in apsense and I will try to hang out with you guys here and learn from you.
