If you haven’t been living in a cave for the last couple of years, you may have heard about Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Stumble Upon. These are very popular social media networks that have quickly cornered the market for engaging with people online.

With these social networks, you can generate ways to connect, update, or tweet out your messages to your followers and friends that you develop over time. In addition, you can also get their emails (be sure to get their permission) and you can add them to your list.

There are two effective ways that social networks like Facebook and Twitter do for you that other modes of interaction cannot — it extends the time you have with your potential customers and it allows you to build a real relationship with them.

Unfortunately, many people fail at social media because they are in such a hurry to “sell” that they turn off their new “friends” and instantly create distrust between those that stay. Developing a real and trustful relationship requires time.

It also means that you need to provide bits of helpful information without selling people anything. You have to generate ways to help people solve their problems. This allows people to develop trust in you and credibility for your posts and messages.

YouTube is another great social network that can help people build trust by getting to see it in action. Creating a small video about your product or service can dramatically affect how others see you. Solving problems or entertaining people will allow people to come back to your website or continue to watch future video posts.

The trick here is to solve problems for people. One of the best ways to do that is to arm people with the information they need. Information in our day and age has been used as a tool. If you can provide people with the right information tools, people will buy from you.

One of the best ways to do this is by reselling e-books. Selling e-books can either fit into your current website or business and complement your income, or you can sell e-books directly as a primary business for yourself. Either way, both are good ways to make great money online.

E-books with resell rights can provide you with 100% profit margins, which can add up quickly to your bank account. Essentially, once you buy them, you can resell them over and over again without having to pay for inventory or shipping.

Selling e-books using a variety of methods on social networks can help develop future customers, great referrals, and easy access to their information, like emails. All of these combined, add to your “list” of customers that you will sell to.

Thousands have jumped onto these social networks and leveraged the benefits to sell products and you can too.

By no means is this the only page you’ll be visiting today. However, you can still leave with a personal gift that’ll make a direct impact on your income.
