There are many ways to accomplish this. Most social media sites allow you to create a business page along with your personal page. To fully take advantage of everything social media sites have to offer, you should create a separate page for your business.
Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, StumbleUpon and Twitter are all a must for every serious business owner. There are many other sites, but at a minimum I would recommend these.
It's important to create a business page on these for several reasons, but the biggest reason is to not annoy your friends. No one likes to be constantly "sold" to, so having a separate business page will not have your friends feeling like all you're doing is shoving products down their throat.
It's important to keep all of your social sites updated regularly. If you post something new on one site, make sure they all get updated. Make sure to keep your posts short and to the point. Social media sites are not the medium for outlandish posts that read more like a book. Save that content for your website. Use the social media sites to drive traffic back to your site by raising the curiosity level of your followers. Ask questions to your followers and get them to respond by offering discounts, freebies or information relevant to their needs.
Allow your affiliates to post content on your behalf at these sites. Make them feel engaged in the business and not just another follower. Most sites will allow you to set moderators who can post content, media and create links. By offering your sites to your affiliates in this manner, they will become much more engaged in the big picture, which is your SFI business. Even if it does not lead to direct sales, you're teaching your affiliates how to become involved in an SFI business and not just sit back and follow.
