The biggest problem with network marketing and marketing in general is running out of qualified prospects to market your business or product to.

Positioning yourself professionally within some of the social networking communities outlined below can be a significant way to increase targeted traffic funneling through to your website.

Here is a basic checklist to keep in mind when creating your profile within any social networking community:

• Within the body of your profile tell everyone your story about yourself, as little or as much as you wish to openly share with the world. Tell everyone who you are and why you're here. You DO NOT want to create a profile solely targeted on your opportunity or product, as it's considered "spammy" and won't net good results.

• The whole purpose of your profile is to get people to click on your link so you can get targeted traffic back to your website. Nothing more, nothing less. People are interested in learning more about people versus a product or opportunity, which everyone else and their mother are trying to shove down your throat nowadays. The point is... be different from the rest and just be you.

• Be sure to have a clear background so that your profile text is clear and easy to understand and read. The last thing you want to do is attract highly targeted visitors to your profile that are instantly turned off and leave.

• Keep in mind that you want to professionally represent yourself on your profile, so avoid using absurd music and crazy images that may limit your niche audience. It's best to keep your profile simple without any music, as it can be distracting to your prospect.
