There are many different ways to engage your Affiliates on one or more of the huge number social media sites:
1. First and foremost, explain the rules, especially for Facebook. Every SFI affiliate needs to know that certain gateways, if used too often will get us all blocked from using ours on Facebook too. I've found that it's mainly the ones for SFI, not TripleClicks that lead to problems. If you use your own blog site, website, or the "Share-it" Buttons on SFI and TripleClicks you'll be safe.
2. Explore the sheer multitude of sites, other than Facebook and Twitter, for a larger audience. Invite your acquaintances, friends, family etc. to join you. There are also business groups on Facebook that you can join that allow you to do advertising.
3. Let your affiliates know what sites you are on, give them the url address, and ask them to join you (like or follow you.)
4. Ask your affiliates what sites they are on. Like and/or follow them and make comments on their site if they allow you to. Always ask for permission to do so.
5. Explain to your affiliates the "Share-it" buttons, where they are and how they can use them to promote their business. Share a personal story that was successful. The "Share-it" buttons are safe to use, although with Twitter, there may be too many words, so you'll need to shorten it down. On Facebook you should add a personal note. It's a great way to get free advertising. You can let your friends know when a special auction is on or something you have had success with, to name a few.
6. If you have a large team, you could start a special Facebook page exclusively for your PSAs. They can go there to learn, ask questions, and get to know each other.
7. Tumblr is a good social media site where all your comments can automatically be posted on your blog or website, if you have one.
8. You can set up your own blog for free on Word Press and Blogger etc. Use key words and links that lead your reader to your TC Store, SFI and TripleClicks. You can also use your blog for your group and offer contests, encouragements and special information.
The sky is the limit using social media today. Use it to your advantage!
