Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Friendster, MySpace, Multiply and a lot more are very famous nowadays. Almost everyone has an account on one, if not all, of these sites. In fact I can not even name a person who does not have one. This is very reason why some people venture in social network marketing businesses. Because aside from it is totally free and you get to advertise, you also build connections - a network, at the same time, which is a very important tool. Connections allow you to market your product or the services you offer easily. The underlying principle is that the more people you know, the higher the sales potential.

And so if you already have an account on one of these sites or much better in all of these, then take advantage of it now. However, if you do not have one, better sign up. I know a lot of people who actually make real money by using these media sites in promoting and selling what they have to offer. If they can do it, there is no reason that you can not. Let us take a closer look on how you can actually do business using these social websites.

Let us say for example you are into fashion, perhaps engaging in an accessory making business. Instead of actually going from one house to another to sell your product, all you have to do is, take beautiful and creative pictures or even make videos of your products, making sure it is of the trend. Next upload it on your site, tag your friends if you are using Facebook about it and post a catchy, concise but informative description of what your product is all about, if it is an accessory, you might as well include the materials that you have used. Also in Facebook for instance, you can create a fan page for your business, allowing people to like and give feedback on it. You can tweet on twitter and entice people to follow your page; you can do soft selling, and then eventually persuade these people to purchase it. And you can as well utilize the blogging features of MySpace. Sometimes if the product is so good like a limited edition headpiece, people will most likely bid to get it.

On the other hand, if you are not selling a product but rather offering services like tutorial classes, dancing lessons, etc., you can still very well use the social networking sites for promotion. The steps are pretty much the same with product selling but you should put a detailed list of the skills and the services that you would have to offer.

See? Using this so-called social media sites as your tool in earning cash is that easy. It does not require producing buckets of sweats. And best of all you get free advertising, promotion and actual selling transactions without hassle and with higher chance of profit returns. It is a lucrative business indeed but earning money online is not just limited on using these social networking sites. There are plenty of stuffs that you can actually do.
