I wanted to some top tips for maximizing Facebook Business page to get more visibility and explode your direct sales and network marketing business.

BRAND YOURSELF

So the buzz around direct sales reps lately is about branding. I have been getting swamped with emails and messages from you guys asking me about branding.

Does this sound like you?

“How do I brand myself, I am not tech savvy.”

“What font or color do I chose?”

“Do I need a logo?”

Your brand is much more than a logo.

Your brand is what you communicate to the world.

Your brand is what people think of when they think of you. What do people remember you for?

Your brand is actually the soul of your business…it’s your client/customer’s total experience with you and your products/services. It’s the thought that pops into people’s mind when they hear your name.

When it comes to building a brand, there are 3 really important things that you need to know to build a truly authentic and magnetic brand that will convert prospects into customers.

1. Your Brand should be something that no one can take away from you (unless you choose to sell it).

2. You Have To Know Your Ideal Client BEFORE You Build Your Brand.

3. Your Brand Follows You Everywhere.

Your communication and social media content should be aligned with your brand. This is WHO you are and WHO you help and WHY. Your brand informs everything you do and why you do it. Your brand is what builds the “know, like and trust” relationship between you and your audience. Brand discovery is SO important so don’t skimp on it.

GO LIVE

Facebook has given us the ability to go live for the past year or so and it has been a huge game changer for millions of business owners. Why? Live streaming has higher conversions and has a larger organic reach. Facebook prefers live streaming from the app over static images and will show your live videos more often and to more people on the time line. It is just that simple. People crave authenticity and real faces. If you have not been using Facebook Live, what are you waiting for? I have rounded up some epic tips for you to help you get started and go live like a boss.

Here are Leslie’s notes:

1. Make a nice timeline cover photo using Canva, or upload a video to tell who you are, what you’re about, and include pictures there as well about any promos or upcoming events.

2. Make sure on your MAIN FB page under “about” you are actually linking your business FB profile spage under “work”

3. Use the big search bar at the top of FB and search something like “pages liked by fans of….” I typed in “non-toxic products & healthy living” and found a bunch of local FB groups to join that I didn’t know about.

4. This one is KEY. Overly promotional posts will get LESS priority in News Feed. The FB algorithm will not make your posts visible if they are purely promotional. Best practices ~ posts that are REAL, PERSONAL, HAVE VALUE, and are SIMPLE. Post personal pictures too, and non professional pictures – ones you take with your cell phone, not always from social shareables – people like to buy from real people.

5. Engage with other pages and watch other live videos from other business pages, engage with up to 10 accounts before and after going live or posting an image to your page.
