In 2009, video traffic has been growing rapidly and is here to stay. Facebook allows you to either shoot a video instantly or upload videos. More you share the videos, better it is. Do share your videos about networking events, funny incidents, achievements and any other video that could have a positive impact on others.

A short video describing who I am and thanking for friendship2. I use instant Facebook video recording option to wish birthdays to friendsFacebook GroupsGroup in a Facebook is same as your inner circle of friends. Group positions you as a leader and displays the value you can provide to fellow networkers. Facebook users who join your group can be converted to prospects for your biz by using effective attraction marketing strategies. It pays to establish a group and providing value to the members of the group through emails, invitations to an event etc. I also use groups in Facebook to identify like minded people and to promote my posts. Facebook EventsFacebook allows you to create a public event ( viewable to all Facebook members) and provides you URL that can be used to communicate on other social networks like twitter, myspace etc. I send an event invitation via email to all the members of my group. Event feature tracks the user status (attending, not attending, may be) about the event. I see an increase in numbers for the event when I blast a reminder email to people who were not sure or were planning to attend. Facebook Wall postsEvey user in Facebook has a wall where he posts messages and moderates the comments made. If you are a core Facebook user, I am sure that you must be posting and promoting your content on your wall. However, It is worth much more to learn how to post your content effectively on walls of the users having a huge number of visitors. It can be done by providing a lot of value that could be beneficial to the users visiting the page. Facebook will disable your account if they see you spamming. So, be cautious while using this approach. Facebook NotesDo you have a self hosted word press blog? If no, I would highly recommend you to start blogging and provide valuable content.
