Social Media can be a great way to grow your network marketing business. It doesn’t matter which type of Social Media you are using whether it is Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace —  there are many different networks to choose from.

No matter which type of Social Media you choose, remember your online personality is not only part of your overall brand, it becomes an interactive experience for you and your business.

There are different combinations that you can use to make your online presence known. Here is a list of some Do’s and Don’ts of Social Media to help promote yourself and cut your overall time online.

When one minute turns into one hour and BEYOND…
Have you ever checked your Facebook account and before you know it you’ve spent the past three hours playing Bejeweled? You need to focus on using it to build your business NOT playing games and wasting time.

You should use your time building up your profile, creating your fan page and building relationships with other network marketers.

DON’T spend all your time doing everything that you never planned on doing, that includes getting caught up with all the applications that just cause distractions.

DO make connections with people in your niche, this will help you build a STRONG social network. It’s a great opportunity to learn from others around you, especially the heavy hitters in your industry. It also gives you a chance to socialize with others and not make it look like you’re always trying to MAKE A DEAL or SELL SOMETHING.

DON’T forget about the other person. There are many times when you would make a connection and right away not take the time to get to know that person. You should learn about the person you are connecting with. This is something you can do by: Reading their profile, it is important to learn about them. Writing something on their wall. Take the time to make a video introduction. You don’t want to spam others’ walls with advertising yourself. DO remember there are people around. SO…be careful what you write on people’s walls, pictures that you are posting and the groups you are joining. You don’t want the wrong information out there, it can damage your reputation.

YOU CAN make your profile private, but that really defeats the purpose of using Social Media. It is extremely important to consider what you should and shouldn’t do when using Social Media to build your network marketing business. The main idea is to continue using your current methods and slowly incorporate your Facebook and Twitter tactics.

And remember…YOU control what you will share in your account, it can make a HUGE difference in your business when promoting yourself and in spending your time wisely.
