To engage your SFI affiliates on social media sites like Facebook you should start a group and create a fan page. I have both. I try to interact with my constituents at a few times per week. With a heavy work load, this can be challenging to say the least. Never the less to maximize your social media experience you should post as often as you can and avoid posting only affiliate links. Remember that social media sites are first of all social.
Create social content using tags and hash marks to make your content searchable. Post things about yourself, local news of interest, world events, things you like, celebrity news and the like and mix in a promo every 5 to 8 posts. Optimal social sharing is achieved by posting consistently and as often as possible.
Secondly, these are media outlets. People love to listen to music, and watch videos. I have a you tube channel and I subscribe to a music channel. Share the videos and music you love and build a following. The key is consistency and frequency.
Putting all of this together gives you a dynamite way to connect with your affiliates as well as prospect for others. When you can connect with other people's interests, and culture then you truly create the most dynamic social engagement. People like people who like what they like. Don't be afraid of liking someone else's page or retweeting someone else's tweet on twitter. To do so will only inhibit the very thing that you are trying to achieve through your social media outlets and that is engagement with your audience. So have fun tweeting and retweeting; liking and posting on other peoples wall and achieve not only the goal of engagement but also the goal of creating a huge and loyal following.
