The best way to successfully advertise on Facebook and other social sites is not to advertise directly at your audience.
Be Social.
Post items of interest, personal news, good thoughts, ideas, things that are happening to you or around you.
Share your experiences, thoughts, etc.
Post good deals you have found (TripleClicks for example) or ??
Post scenic or other great photos and videos.
Use your imagination.

Then, every few posts, at the end, leave a link.
For example:
My blog: http//..........
Visit here: Http//........
You might find this interesting: http//.....
More like this here: http///......
View More: http//........
(use URL shorteners or very concise brief actual links)

The idea is not to sell. Become a part of the community you are developing
and just drop a link now and then.

Hope you enjoy this idea.

All my facebook friends are friends and not prospects. Therefore I use a strategy that is two fold.

1. I soft sell. I share common links and videos and websites of interest but embed my SFI ads in the share. Here is an example:

What a great day we had with family here. This is the Songkran holiday season. It is a wild and crazy holiday. It is like a city wide water fight. You cannot go out of your house without getting wet. Here is a great video of what happens, check it out. The video is the town where I live. It is amazing.
http://www.syrwebdesign.com/y/geo/Songkran

Now I use a tool offered on TripleClicks that will embed my SFI ads into the website I am sharing. They get to see the Tiger Kingdom and get exposed to my ads. Soft Sell.

2. Whenever a special moment occurs I do not just say congratulations, I say here is a reward, a free $12.00 gift card you can use in my store. I do this on Linkedin when someone starts a new job, or has an anniversary, or a birthday. I will also go to TripleClicks and, knowing them, I locate a product that they would have interest in.

As a result I now have, as of this writing, 612 PRMs.

Advertising on Facebook and other social media is not as easy as it was in the beginning of its creation. Social media users are not keen to banner social media advertising nowadays. They’re simply bombarded with tons of ads, becoming de-sensitized and inclined to block out ads and content that don’t relate to them.

How to advertise successfully on Facebook and other social media?

- Know the facts and trends of Social media users.

In Facebook, people like to share opinions about companies and brands. This opinion sharing creates exposure, builds knowledge, generates attitudes and eventually prompts purchase.

- Use innovative ideas in your advertising.

Put into use the interactivity, visual and video capabilities, and multi-platform availability of social media. Create your ads effectively – and as amazingly entertaining – advertising. These types of ads can influence your viewers toward products, services, and actions through the power of their unique take on life. They leverage brands through association with a whole new array of cool ideas and events. You’re demonstrating real creative quality of your ads by amusing, entertaining or adding value to your viewers’ lives.

- Employ unique, social-story content.

Telling a story is an optimal way to engage constituents on social media. The very heart of social networking comes from the idea of sharing, and storytelling is probably the most ancient form of passing along information. In this short video story, let your viewers know, how SFI/Tricpleclicks profoundly changed your life. It should be short enough and interesting to watch that your viewer’s will contact you.

With these facts above, you’re on your way to advertising successfully on Facebook and other social media.

Facebook and Twitter block SFI/TripleClicks links. They are regarded as spam, not because of the nature of SFI, but because of SFI's popularity; there are just so many affiliates using, or attempting to use, their gateways on social media.

One great way to get around this is, like so many have already mentioned, write about SFI on a blog, then post the link to the blog.

There is another way that I am using: buy your own domain name and set up subdomains.

It would work like this: buy a domain e.g. www.myinternetbusiness.com, set up a subdomain e.g. secondincome. Your link would then look like this: http://secondincome.myinternetbusiness.com

Make sure that when you set up your subdomain, you set it up as a 'cloaked' or 'framed' redirection, otherwise FB/Twitter/Pinterest will see the SFI gateway behind it and continue to block it.

There are forwarding/shortening link providers like bitly, but they often do not do the 'cloaking', which is why they are often not suitable for SFI links.

I bought a .com domain name for only a couple of dollars, and can create up to 100 subdomains on it, so I can use a separate subdomain for each of several internet businesses I have, including all of my SFI/TripleClicks gateways.

I also use my main domain name for my website/blog, using the free hosting package I got as part of my introductory offer with the web hosting company.

I hope this helps. Best wishes :)

Successful advertising can do two things: establishe your SFI business/products in the consumer’s mind and it encourages consumers to take action to buy from you.

So, how do you successfully advertise on Facebook and other social media?

As you are aware, when you post something through social media people who like/friend/follow you will see it on their feeds. So the more you post, the more they see. However, there is no need to flood their feeds; too many messages can irritate people or be considered no different than spam. It seems from looking at what other companies are doing, 2-3 post per day is a good number. As an example, look at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Flordia USA - there are at most 3 post going out per day on their social media sites. Check out other organizations too and use their frequency of posting as your guide for your SFI business.

Another important consideration is the timing of social media postings. Your postings will depend on your target audience - what works for their schedule. In general, when looking at other companies, early morning and early evening are ideal. Most people leave for work just after 8:30 and get back after 5 pm; therefore,posting around 8 and 5:30 would show up for these people when they check their social media accounts before and after work.

Now, encouraging action to be taken through social media postings can be more difficult. Using "eye catchers" such as coupons and special offers are a good way to encourage action. People often do look for deals and social media is a great way to get the word out quickly.

No matter which social media platform/s you use to advertise your SFI business and/or products you simply need to remember: sent out notices/postings on a regular basis but not to flood or spam, consider the timing of your postings to fit the target audience you want to benefit from your advertisement and try to include an incentive to have prospective customers to act upon what you advertise.

Because Facebook blocks SFI links, the best way to advertise is by making a blog.

That way your SFI gateway link doesn't show up so Facebook won't block it. Put some text in your ad, put your blog's link and some photo and you're ready to go. Just make a blog (Blogger, WordPress, Weebly), describe your offer, add some photos if you want and connect your link(s) to the photos, buttons, etc.
You can go one step further and cloak and shorten your affiliate link so nobody can misuse it (change your ID number inside the link to redirect new members to his or her account).

You can do the same for other social media too, it's safer and it's easier to do and to use everyday.

How to advertise successfully on Facebook and other social media?

First you need to find a creative way to solve Facebook URL blocking issue with SFI and TripleClicks Gateways. This probably happens because of "misuse" of these links on Facebook by some negligent SFI affiliates, which have gone too far with their placement in inappropriate places, and were reported as spam. This is certainly a problem for any beginner, but as Internet Marketer you need to learn to see problems as new chances to achieve something
However, there is a solution.
1. First, consult your sponsor, upline or ask for support groups if you can somehow get subdomein that leads to your gateway for subscription.
2. You can use services that generate new links that lead to your gateways. The most famous such services are easy to find on Internet. When you generate a new link shortening the referral link, you need to do a Redirect with masking (Forward with masking) link. These services mask your original link from search engines, so the new generated links can be used in social networks.
3. You can make your own blog where you can post your links or banners from SFI. All these platforms have certain advantages and disadvantages, but in general on each platform you can make a nice blog or website to build up SFI's opportunities.
4. AS an advanced method recommended by SFI, and internet marketing in general in such cases is to purchase your own domain name. Then, on this domain you can create blog or web page where you can write about your offer here and put referral links and banners.
Finally, especially important!
Follow the SFI ant spam policy.
1. You can set posts with links in the Facebook groups where it is allowed! Look at the groups if their rules allow linking, ads, etc.. Watch whether the group has other advertising and whether it covers the topic related to your business, eg. Online Business, Making Money, Free advertising, etc..

2.Do not place posts in a row in the same group. When there are so many ads that are the same and posted on the same groups, people quit looking at them.
3. Always before you place a link in your ad on social networks such as Facebook, try does it work. Put the link to the post and publish it! Then click on that link and see if it works well.
Cheers!

Thank you for your question.

Social media advertising has both the potential to be a little on the tricky side, but also the potential to reap some of the best results.

The reason why it can be tricky is due to perceived spam. You see, SFI is such a large global enterprise with countless numbers of active affiliates that if we were all to submit our links to Facebook, Twitter, etc., their anti-spam filters trigger only on the domain. Indeed, that is precisely what happened and is why we are blocked from advertising our gateway links on such sites.

There are, of course, legal, legitimate and ethical ways to get around these blockades. The most common, and, I feel, the best way is to establish your own blog. You need to ensure that you are providing unique, quality content on your blog. You could also cater it to a specific affiliate marketing or network marketing niche. You could then post on Facebook, Twitter and others about your new blog and then each time you post on your blog, let your social media friends know about it.

Hope this helps.

Facebook is the largest social media site in the world and most of the marketers quite correctly say that all internet marketers must have a presence on FaceBook. But it is so crowded with people and their promotions.

One must be strategic in order to advertise successfully on FaceBook.

Briefly, here is what I recommend:

Open an account on FaceBook.

Create groups for advertising purposes. Create as many as you can manage and as FB will allow. There are many network marketing related groups already in existence and you can join these but I believe that you should also create your own and invite others to join your groups. In that way you retain administration of your groups.

Post you ads on these groups. With your own groups - always pin your ads. This will ensure that anyone visiting your page will see your ad because it will always stay at the top of the page. With other peoples groups post as often as are allowed on the group pages where the administrator does not pin ads. With the pages where the ads are pinned your ads will away play second fiddle to the administrators ads.

If you are not too worried about pinning your ads at the top of the page, other advertisers can pay for the privilege of having their ads pinned - you make some money that way.

Because of the large number of people posting on groups, ads are quickly replaced and you therefore need to post as regularly as possible, constantly putting your message before the world.

There are auto posters out there that will post your ads on Facebook. These are the best but be very careful how you use them. Facebook seems to arbitrarily limit peoples activities and people don't have a say. They will suspend your account if they suspect that you are a robot or you make too many postings a day. The daily posting limit fluctuates. You cannot communicate with anyone at Facebook to plea your case so you just have to wait out until they decide to un-suspend you. So be Very Careful.

I have focused on Facebook because it is the largest and the most well known.

Good luck with the others as well.
