How To Become Known on Facebook

There are millions of people with profiles on Facebook. And there are countless people who are joining the social networking website everyday. it has become a fertile ground for finding customers and prospects. Entrepreneurs have realised what a gold mine it is. 
A lot of People often ask, how can I reach this people, how can l let them know about me? How do get leads on Facebook?

What I find that works is to find something you have in common with that person and use it as a way to turn a cold contact into a warm contact. This could be business event or a training programme. You also try linking up with people you share common sporting interest with like skiing. Bear in mind that people are naturally attracted to people who share common interest with them. So, if the person you are linking up with is into this sport they will naturally want to know other people that share the same passion for skiing.

Another strategy you could use is to find out what your friend's friends are doing. The best way to do this is to read their profile page. This will tell you about what they do, the music they enjoy, if they are passionate about horse riding or about a particular kind of music. If they are involved in the same event that you are active in or are passionate about, this is the opportunity to send him a friend request and mention the event.

You can become the hunted rather than the hunter. You could post on your friends' wall. When you do, your friends' friends will see your post and might send you a friend request. It is important that you post something of value as this will attract people to you.

You could also let people find you. When joining a group, why not announce yourself to the group. It is a good way of getting noticed by the other members of the group. This makes group members curious about you and again some may initiate contact. I have got friend requests simply announcing myself to a group I just joined.

Also, why not try creating a group? This brands you as a leader and gives you respect in the eyes of your contact. It also promotes you as a person worth following.

You could join discussions groups and contribute your view point. You will meet people who are also contributing to the discussions and become friends with them. I look for people who are contributing regularly to discussions in the group or are posting comments on group walls. I initiate contact with these people first before contacting other group members. Why? because I am looking for active people to relate with.

You could also start a discussion on an interesting topic and invite people to join in the discussion. This could attract new people who have view point to share on the matter. This again brands you as a leader.

If you have an upcoming event like a business meeting, you could ask your friends to invite their friends to your events. This is a way to get to know more people.

Basically, if you are well skilled in the use of Facebook, you could use your contact to generate more contacts. One of the things I love about Facebook is that it allows you to be creative in generating leads.

There are other ways to find friends on Facebook which have not been mentioned in this article. Whatever method you use in finding leads on line, It is important is to lead by value. If you give people value, they will naturally be interested in you and flock to you and want to associate with you.
