Did you know you can use your Facebook page to “build your list?”

If you know us, you know we teach that social media – in general – comes from the opposite mindset. It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. You want your followers to know you, like you and trust you – not “hate your guts you f*$#ing spammer!” LOL

But there are Green Island-sanctioned methods for using social media to increase the people in your network – ie, build your list.

Method #1: Tweet your aWeber Broadcast Messages (we’re getting lots of traffic today, so please be patient with how long the video takes to load)

Method #2: Put an Optin box on your Facebook Page This gets a little techy so I’m gonna go fast. If you need more explanation, leave a comment at the bottom. And to see an example of what I’m talking about, check out either mine or Chris’ Facebook Wall – see the box, under our Friends in the left-hand column, that asks for your email address? That’s an optin box, and that’s what I’m about to show you how to do.

1. Do a search for “MyInfo” on Facebook – you want the app developed by XtremelySocial
2. Click on the application name; then in the upper left hand corner click on Go To Application
3. Click Allow
4. Now you’re on the app page, and they’re giving you a big box in the middle of your page, ready for your html code.
5. Go to aWeber, create a form, copy and paste the code into this box. TIP: use the header and footer to create a full explanation of what the heck this thing on your Facebook page is. (again, check out one of ours to see what I mean)
6. The “preview” shows your form full-width but dont’ worry – it shows up column-width on your profile page
7. Click Update, and the app will take you to your profile and ask you if you want to keep it or not.

Voila!
