Changing the Landscape of Direct Selling by Utilizing the power of Social Media!

What better way to get the word out for a new product then by having someone share it with you.  Regardless of the company or industry you have been involved, the strongest method of marketing is the “referral” – no matter what the product or service.  Personal recommendations are more powerful than reading it in a magazine, hearing it on the radio, or seeing it on TV.

So how does this relate to the new phenomena of  ”Social Media”?

Until now, very little has been accomplished by using social networking to market products on sites like “Twitter™” and  “FACEBOOK™.”  Due to the nature and power of social networking sites like “FACEBOOK™,” you can easily assemble a network of “friends” that normally you would not have connection to or communicate with on a regular basis.  People that have not spoken with for many years can now connect and exchange information on anything – kids, family, old school friends and so on…;  keeping in-touch and actually participating through a variety of avenues.  This type of activity first started with Internet Chat Rooms, instant messaging, and email.  However, social networking has taken this activity to a whole new level.  The Internet and Email provided the mechanism for the connection, but chat rooms are now passe and email is a little too cumbersome to managed if you maintain a large circle of “friends, family, and acquaintances.”

It is this power to connect with people that provides the opportunity to build your “network of friends”.  This connectivity also yields the possibility to share your experiences in regards to products and services.

There are still many just discovering the potential that this can have.  Using the capability of social networking, your referral base can grow.  Even through the latest, “micro-blogging” sites like “TWITTER™” you can become a participant with “one tweet” (a short text message) that is will be seen by one to a thousand or more.

Let’s take it one step further: What if you had access to an application that engages people with activities and these activities are posted to your friends and their friends’ pages on a social networking site…  This posting activity that will create more interest and participation in using the application and interest in the product.

How would you like to take advantage of that? 

Just think of the possibility of linking the activity to the sale of a product that you will receive a share in the sale, and receive a commission on that sale even though you were not directly involved.

Does this peak your interest?  Are you intrigued with how this can work for you?
