Of course you do, yet somehow, you have no clue how all those so called online entrepreneurs do it! Maybe they are telling porky pies…Or maybe you are burying your head under the sand, Ala ostrich!

By promoting Brand You and what’s yours. It’s time to let social media work for you. Below are 5 ways you could use various social media for business:
#1- Make Social Media Pay You – Facebook!
In my opinion, Facebook is the cheapest and most efficient way to advertise your business. Why pay exorbitant fees to market your company when you could actually do it on Facebook for a fraction of the price?
Starting from just $5/day (via your Facebook Page) you could advertise your company, platform, product or service to thousands of people. Of course, you should set up your facebook page for Success using the Unlimited Fan page Profits, read our review here!
By the way Could you do us a Favour? Like our Facebook Page will ya…Very kind of you! ?
So, with over 900 million daily visitors, your market is definitely on Facebook! BUT…
YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW to get desired results of course. And we know quite a few amazing ordinary people like you making waves with Facebook. Simply because they realised it’s no good reinventing the wheel, or waiting for the Free gravy train to come home…You want to be like these people.
And we have just the resource to help you get started with this platform and get ahead of the competition!

#2. Make Social Media Pay You – Pinterest!
We love Pinterest, because it is particularly great with brands or business owners who know how to showcase WHAT your product/service/platform does.
So, Why Pinterest? Because it’s simple…and…
It’s always great to show the back-end process and hypnotise other pinners with the benefits…With Pinterest you can post images of your products/services or find pictures of other products. They are called PINS!
These images are Filed away in your virtual filing cabinet called a BOARD.
These boards should be titled your interests and/or Niche. You can also invite others to contribute to the board. Fashion designers, makeup artists and promoters, Chefs, Etsy, Amazon, eBay sellers, Internet marketers, Trainers, coaches, bakers etc are benefiting hugely from having their products on Pinterest.
And it is Julie Syl’s forte, in some circles she is considered a Pinterest expert!
Thing is, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, you need a roadmap to help you totally crush it on Pinterest? We are here to help.

#3. Make Social Media Pay You – Instagram!
This is Facebook’s attempt at being like Pinterest with one exception. You only get 1 clickable link. And that can only be in your Bio! Unless you do an Ad campaign!
If you have a photo or a short video, you can share it on Instagram to 400 million active monthly users.
Just like Pinterest, you can upload pictures of your company, company logo or your products on Instagram, but perhaps the beauty of Instagram is the ability to also upload a 60 second video.
[bctt tweet=”Think about it, that’s like uploading your very own 60 second advert free of charge! #Socialmedia101″ username=”Juleskalpauli”]
Think about it, that’s like uploading your very own 60 second advert free of charge. Don’t make the Instagram Mistakes we made…some of them are pure common sense, but who said its common huh!

#4. Make Social Media Pay You – Twitter!
With twitter, you have 140 characters to wow your Audience and that message is called a Twit! And the best way to be found is using a #hashtags.
A hashtag is not just a funky word, it is actually a searchable keyword or a brand resource. You can use hashtags quite effectively to promote your business, or to follow trending stories, people or businesses.
Using twitter also allows you access to 332 million active users, some of whom could potentially be your clients.
Unfortunately, Twitter cancelled official share counts and made it a wee bit harder to get your Retweets counted unless you use some clever apps! And the best plugin out there to return your twitter share counts is the Social Warfare plugin.
As well as a personal twitter account, you can create a business account using your company name. You can and will, build followers, follow other twitteratti and use hashtags to constantly promote yourself and your brand; just like this – #YourPowerEchoes is a #Podcast about #Entrepreneurship, fun, freedom and Fulfillment.
Again, if twitter is your jam then you’ll love this FREE Twitter training to crush it on there!

And…dont forget to Follow us on Twitter we appreciate that and normally follow back! 🙂
#5. Make Social Media Pay You – LinkedIn!
This is the most serious of them all. LinkedIn has been described as ‘Facebook for professionals’.
[bctt tweet=”LinkedIn has been described as ‘Facebook for professionals’. #socialmediamarketing #LinkedIntips” username=”Juleskalpauli”]
So, where you have individuals posting pictures of their lunches on Facebook, people will post their professional qualifications and seminars they attended on LinkedIn. This means you can connect with other business owners, entrepreneurs, trades, professionals etc. and establish excellent contacts. Remember your Contact List? Yup go build it!
And the beauty is you can Cross Promote and connect all your socials using a FREE tool online called IFTTT and I teach you how to you can do this in an article and video I did a while back.
We love to think we are Professional so you definitely can LinkedIn with us over there! 🙂

Hello Graciela,
Congrats on your first blogiversary..And Keep rocking. Thanks for stopping by!
I’m confused. Doesn’t all this still depend on getting people to see your posts in the first place? On Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or whatever. How do you attract people to you in the first place?
Hi Jill,
You missed the boat. every platform requires presence, engagement, sharing value. Most people do that for personal purposes so how do you make any platform a source of income for you? Find that in all the FREE resources we shared in this post! 🙂 You can make it happen, when you are open to receive the value in the post! 🙂
