Less advertising budget. So, need good Return on Investment.

Requested to add as contact, but rejected from a lot of connection, because – they don't know you, or they have nothing to do with your product/service.

Have a social media account, with lots of friends/followers. But, do they really need your product / service ?

Make your Presence Appropiate

Properly input and organize content on your profile.

Use photo gallery – a powerful weapon to make people interested on you/your business.

Import your email contact list to add mass users.

Harvest email list – not to send spams, but to add them in your social media contacts. Emails from social media can not be marked as spam.

Use other methods ( ? )

Harvesing e-mail list

Use search engine to harvest your email list

Go to your Social Media control panel and import the email list to invite all of them together.

You can create email list targeting location, interest etc if using search parameter wisely.

For email harvesting, create your own product, or use a customised product for better result.

Break your email list in smaller segment, eg. 500 per list; so, you don't need to worry about getting banned from the site.

Use Social Media Search

Use social media search engines to find your potential clients and add them. May be you will see a Social Media Lead generation CRM product sooner to make the process simplier ...

Benefits and Future Planning As your profile is already showcasing your product/clients/services on

your posts and profile, you can get better conversion rate.

As you are searching to find potential buyer of your product, you can get even your 1st buyer from Social Media if strategy is right.

As you are already having a good friend/follower list – remember, everyone is watching the update. So, every converted client through social media, will be a gateway for more conversion from your existing contact / friend list.

As you are already in social networks, brand visibility can be easier – as a lot of your clients are from social sites only.

Add your own idea and share

It will increase your social networking reach !!
