7 Reasons NOT to Delete Facebook

Money! MoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoney!

You are leaving money on the table if you don't use the resource that is Facebook today and here are 7 ways how you would lose money by deleting Facebook.

I'm keeping it real here with personal examples as someone new to facebook and who has made money and contacts with minimal effort, so even for absolute beginners to facebook an indication as to what you could be losing. And I'm sure you can add even more!

1. Online forums use facebook: we can log in to the discussion areas on them and when we make comments and get involved in the discussions all the people there can connect back to our facebook and websites - that's a targeted audience usually of thousands of people for your niche.

- Someone from an event recently did connect back to me on fb, friended me as a direct result of a comment I'd made under one of the speakers about improving the marketing and messaged me that he wants to connect to discuss further my suggestions.

- I have had people connect with my facebook profile to enquire about building websites and joining WA as members too and I'm sure many of the raw clicks on my links came from there too as I did not have a bootcamp site the past year.

- I made $138 from one facebook post, I simply made a comment at the Parasite summit that I was going to post some parasite pics on my fb personal page and people could go check them out - I was not allowed post links at the event but people did go check me out and I got commissions and followers who see everything I post now.

2. Private groups use Facebook: for example I attended the SIBO summit and joined their private fb group, now I'm free to comment in there and get updates from members all across that group all the time - that is a HUGE group of people and network that have access to me and my affiliate links for WA and health niche and whatever else I'm offering all the time.

3. Some courses use facebook: eg I did a course by John Assaraf called Winning the Game of Money where his entire platform was run on a private fb group - I did make WA commissions in there. And to this day a number of people from that group stay in contact with my fb page, they are notified of what I post on my fb, and any time I go on to comment or like on one of their posts the social doors are open again, targeted audience ;)

4. Commissions Leaderboard Winner Used Facebook: An online shop owner I know scored #139 in the affiliate commissions leaderboard of a major event - the sort where the biggest players in the health world always win the most commissions and even to appear on the leaderboard alongside them is a major achievement- he got all his commissions from his personal fb page by running little videos every day with commentary, stories about his life like what diet or fast he's trying at the moment, what bugs him, little snapshots that get engagement. And that's another group I can wander into and have a chat with any time, each time I like and engage there my facebook door is open for them to come back and see what I'm offering. Hint, my facebook page is not idle chat, I use even my personal page to promote what I'm interested in.

5. Viral Potential of the Reach: Over 1.5 billion people are using Facebook, each estimated to have an average of 200 friends, so connecting with any one person on facebook tends to have a viral effect as regards your reach, the sheer ability for you to be exposed to other people all of whom can share your content virally too, and all of which can lead to your website or offers. And then facebook itself is geared with some sophisticated technology to amp up that viral effect if you want to play seriously with the marketing.

*I hope by now you are seeing it is an infinite network, dropping us right into the center of targeted audiences for our niches all the time, just by being ourselves and mingling with events and people that interest us we are reaching out and displaying our wares, and that is on minimal effort.

6. The free business pages: are easy to set up and link to our websites. These have even more functionality.

7. Facebook Advanced Features: - magistudios has a series of 6 trainings on Facebook showing people how to use things like boost posts, ads, select audiences, and more.

- I've heard John Assaraf say he spends something like half a million dollars or more on facebook ads every month, which returns him more money than he actually spent.

Facebook has some very advanced marketing strategies available to marketers, some of these using the very things people are complaining about at the moment, Facebook Insights is not something I pay too much attention to, I never gave fb the info it was looking for, I lied about my date of birth etc lol, but as Kyle has said and it is pretty logical, if Facebook can gather this data then they all can and will.

Facebook: Good, Bad, or Indifferent?

There is no doubt facebook has been accused through time as having been a bit of a dictator, there is even an excellent documentary on it on Irish TV, and there had been court cases in Europe to try to make Facebook toe the line way before the latest screams. And if fb were to vanish and create a vaccuum, something else would spring up to replace it for better or worse.

I'm not pro-facebook here, I'm just pro 'not leaving money on the table' when it is up for grabs, and people deleting their accounts simply cuts down our reach. It's up to Facebook to clean up its act, meanwhile it's a resource with a lot of good potential.

There is no doubt facebook has closed some businesses and personal accounts down unfairly in the past, I would not encourage any business to rely on facebook, and many of them seem to use it as an alternative to websites or blogs! NO, it's simply about not leaving money on the table when it's there.

Reasons to delete some of what YOU are posting on Facebook, lol!

Then on the other hand, while we are talking about making money off facebook as a resource and adjunct to our websites and other social media, it seems most people are filling up their personal profiles with personal stuff that ends up embarrasing them and even losing them their jobs if their boss catches it. Best to choose how you use your fb account in the first place, whatever about spying by facebook.

Ok, hot topic at the moment. Just saying, minimal effort maximum reach, shows great potential.
