How to Maximize Ad Groups

To be honest, when I first started in Networking Marketing, I didn't post in Ad groups.  I looked around some, but I never saw any interaction or interest.  I saw a lot of pictures of money being flashed around and promises of outlandish income.  And I thought it was kind of hard to distinguish a scam verses a true opportunity.

If you have a Network Marketing Team, there are ways that Ad groups can be used to your benefit. What turned me off, is the exact thing you will be working to change.

• Research which ad groups you would like to participate in.  Try to pick groups that are between 20,000 and 1,500 members.  In any group of 20,000 or more members your posts will get buried very quickly.  Those particular ad groups really won't help you grow your business influence at all. In groups of 1,500 members or less, interaction is better, but not as many
  
  people will see them.  
• So now, make sure everyone on your Networking Marketing Team are members of these same groups.   
• Make a post introducing yourself.  
• Comment on others posts.  Post about how you like their graphics or their ad copy.  Try to stay more on the leadership qualities instead of their company or products.
• Post a few tips.  Post some encouragement.  Create graphics of a tip of yours or a team members.
• Establish leadership, positivity, and team spirit.
• All along, let your Network Marketing Team comment on your posts, share your posts, hold conversations in public.  Do this for all team members.  This will increase each members influence in the ad group.  Also be sure to respond to the people commenting.  Seeing these engagements should encourage others who are not in your network to start making connections to you.  
• Then post an ad.

The key to success is not how many ad groups you are a member of. It is how effective you are

within the groups you are members of.  Are you supporting your team members?  Are you interacting and share other team members posts?  Are you posting material that isn't ads?

You have to have a strategic plan in place for this to be successful.  Being concentrated in a few groups (10 or under) is like being a sniper.  If you are in too many and everyone is not being active in all of those groups, then it is hit and miss, probably mostly miss.

One important note.  If you see someone trying to post links in the comments, when your post did not request them, state in the comments about how that is not proper etiquette.  Let more of the team comment in the same way.  Show people ya'll know the proper way to do it and you are not afraid to show people the right way.

IPA - Internet Information Curation Tools

Your time is valuable.  There is only so much of it to go around.  So how much time do you spend researching topics for blogs or posts that could be spent on more productive things like with family?

How would you like to have your own Social Media Assistant?

There are two apps I have found that can speed up this process in no time.  Both of these apps curate internet information based upon parameters you enter.  You can have several groups set up to pull information related to your Network Marketing Company and Network Marketing Tips or anything else you can think of.

One is Hootsuite Suggestions.  This is an iPhone app only.  I have searched high and low for an android version but I haven't been successful.  You can find it on iTunes.  Since I can't actually download this very useful app, I don't know the exact price, but I have been told it is free.  Hootsuite itself is $14.99 per month though, so you may have to have Hootsuite to get Suggestions.

By entering parameters that you use to Google a subject, Suggestions will search the internet and bring back the most popular items.  You can share straight from the app or you can schedule it to post at a later time.  The scheduling function is built right in.

The other is Crate.  Crate has the same functionality as
Suggestions, but it works on the computer with no mobile. After you set up an account, you create a New Crate.  By entering in the exact parameters that you need to look for and naming your Crate, it will build a list of the most popular items for those parameters.

Crate is built for Twitter, so you will need a Twitter account to signup.  But a great benefit is it also connects to Buffer.  You will be able to push the Crate information straight to any account linked to Buffer including Twitter, Facebook Groups, Pages, and Profiles.

Crate does have a scheduling function built it, but it will only post to Twitter.  There is a free version for you to try, but it doesn't connect to Buffer.  But it still saves a bunch of researching time. The next tier up is $19.00 a month.

Now you have two more apps to chose from in helping you automate your Networking Business.
