Recently I created a Facebook group,  a group in the “just for fun-totally pointless” category. You can see it and join if you like here: 1 Billion People. Anyway, the subject of this post is not my pointless group, it is how to promote a Facebook group.

After I created the group, I invited some of my friends that could be interested in joining, and some of them joined. However, the number of members did not grow in two days any further and I started searching ways to promote my Facebook group.

There are lots of info and tools on how to add friends to your Facebook account, some of them white hat and some of them black hat; however, there are not much things you can do to promote your Facebook group. If you have a big follower base in any platform like your own blog or social websites such as Twitter and MySpace it is easy to promote such things. Else, you need to find other means to promote your online existence, in this case your Facebook group.

I found a website called Facebook Bay, and what it does is simply promote your Facebook group, at least as they claim. When I came across this site, I thought about that there is always a clever person who finds what people need and finds an answer or solution to that. I applaud such people.

So, what does Facebook Bay do? It is a community site with members who have Facebook groups and once you join, it asks to join any one of those groups in return of promoting your group. In this way, when another person joins the site Facebook Bay, they will see your group and join if they like. Although this is not a too bright idea, I guess it may help me promote my group. I cannot tell how strong they are as I am new to the site. I will update this post once I get some people to my group.

Twitter is one of the most powerful social networks and if you can leverage it wisely, you can see some good return on investment in a really short time. Recently I read an ebook about successful Twitter marketing and I decided to give it a go and got to my old personal account again. You can check it here by the way: nailyener

This is my personal account and I want to go with it for my main marketing efforts. I don’t have any specific niche in my focus yet but I may promote anything like Commission Junction products or Clickbank products or whatever. I know the right way to go should be to choose a tightly targeted niche, though I can also market with my personal account right?

Anyway, I customized my account and started to follow people mostly from US and the western countries. I carefully chose the ones to follow to be  real persons and not just marketing accounts. Now I have over one thousand followers and I am tweeting both about personal stuff and some marketing in between. I don’t want to piss people off and want to establish my follower base in a healthier way. I didn’t got any sales or leads yet but I am getting clicks on my links, and that is good to start. In the near future I will experiment my Twitter account for list building.

At one point, I needed to unfollow the users which are not following me. This is because I don’t want to fill my following space with the uninterested ones. Deleting those will give me extra space and so that I will be able to follow other people.

I tried a number of tools like Friend or Follow, My Tweeple and finally found Twitter Karma to be the best for my needs. It shows all the people that you are following and also tells who follows you back and who does not. Using Twitter Karma, I will be able to unfollow those who do not follow me back easily.

I haven’t used any automation tools yet and I am not planning to but if you want to automate your Twitter marketing process I highly recommend you read Automation Rules & Best Practices of  Twitter before starting.

That’s all about Twitter for now, see you on another post. Do not forget to share your Twitter experience with us here.
