Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, or Youtube, almost everyone is on some sort of social media network. The problem is most people have no idea on how to harness the power of these networks to grow their business.

A few years ago Perry Belcher coined the phrase “The Party Principle”, and described how that principle applied to social media networks. The video above describes “The Party Principle” and how you can use it to grow your business.

The real key is to view the social networks as a party. Be a likable person that shows an interest in other people. As people get to know you and like you, you can direct those people to your other sites such as a blog. From there they can get more information by directing them to a sales page where people can place an order for your products and services.

The one major mistake people make is trying to make a sale directly from the social network site. Doing so can be the kiss of death, if it’s not done properly.

Keep in mind that some people will have no interest what-so-ever in what you have to offer, and that’s okay, because if you adhere to The Party Principle, people will still like you, and that’s not a bad thing.

In my opinion, the number one mistake magicians, entertainers, and other small business owners make is failing to keep in touch with our customers. Every year over half of my business comes from repeat clientele. These are people that hire me year after year, and they are pre-sold on my services, but the one thing we have to remember is that our customers do not buy from us when we want them to buy. They don’t buy from us when we are in need of cash flow. Instead, they buy from us when they want to buy. They hire us when they are in need of our services.

So how do we know when they are in need of our services? We really don’t. So it is our job to stay in touch with our customers. We can do that in a variety of different ways. We can send out monthly postcards and newsletters. Our newsletters can be sent through email or regular mail (I recommend doing both). If you are on a limited budget, you can start a blog and direct your customers to your blog. The best part is a blog costs nothing, It is free.

The most important point is to stay in touch with your clientele, so when they are in need of your services they know to call you and not your competition. If you follow this one tip, you will notice that over the years yours business will grow exponentially.
