Lately, an increasing number of my clients are asking about social networks.  They have heard that sites like Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, and Google Buzz are important to success.  Nobody has time to do them all. Where do you start?

On one level, the answer is – it DEPENDS.  On who you want to connect with.  A computer programmer looking for a tech job wants a different network than a crystal wielding new age healer seeking more clients.   It’s like that old saying grandma used to say, “Different channels for different folks.”

Most of the readers of this blog are coaches, therapists, consultants and healers of one variety or another looking for more clients.  Practicing what I preach, I recently asked the question “What’s the best social network?” to energy psychology fans on a number of social networks.  The results were clearer than a healing stone.

Facebook is the SECOND Best Social Network

The always lighthearted EFT and LOA guru Brad Yates immediately chimed in, “The Energy field”.   This lead to a number of comments like this one from EFT practitioner Jade Barbee:

Right now, Facebook feels best.  But, I echo what’s been said – the woo hoo freakin’ energy field is where it’s at.  

As someone who is not ADHD enough for Twitter, I really Like Facebook the most!  It goes at my pace. Yet I can reach enough people should I desire to do so.

Coach and Law of Attraction fan Terry Marquez Wildemann had this insightful comment:

I’m on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.  I prefer Facebook because it’s so visual and easy to use.  Linkedin would be my second choice. I was super active on Twitter and over the last few months am on maybe once a week. I was recently told by a marketing guru that the life span of your average twitter person is about 3 months.

Facebook is the Largest, Most Fun and Effective

As has already been said, Facebook is the easiest social networking site to make sense of visually.  It’s also full of fun and high energy people – there are currently over 400 million people on Facebook.  You can find wonderful people to support your success goals no matter what they are.

Like anything else, there are strategies that are more and less effective on Facebook.  I’m curious – what has your experience been with Facebook?   What questions do you have about how to attract more of what you want there?  I’d love to hear your thoughts in the form of a comment below.  Happy manifesting!

As many of you know, I am a huge fan of social media when it’s used mindfully.  For those of you interested in the mindful use of Twitter, my friend Soren Gordhamer wrote a fantastic blog post for the popular social media blog Mashable.  It’s called the Tao of Tweeting and you can read it here.

Around the globe, hundreds of millions of people are involved in social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.  As I write this post, estimates are that there are over 270 million users on Facebook alone – if it were a country, Facebook would be in the top 5 in the world in terms of population.  While not quite as many numbers wise, there are also tens of millions of people around the globe who are passionate about the Law of Attraction.

Law of Attraction and social media

For those of us who share the belief that your thoughts, feelings and actions form your reality, there is a tremendous opportunity here. Combining the Law of Attraction and social media offers anyone with access to the Internet a chance to directly interact with just about anyone else – from Oprah to spiritual leaders to important business decision makers.

What does mean for spiritual people? It means that through the conscious combination of the Law of Attraction and social media, we have the ability to tap into a source of creative support that previous generations could only dream about.

However, not everything that is happening on social media sites is helpful to the conscious creator. In fact, much of it is not. Here are 4 tips that will help you combine the Law of Attraction and social media in useful ways:

1) Be clear about your intentions. Chatting about what you ate for breakfast or the actors in the hottest movie isn’t likely to lead to what your heart of heart wants.  Deliberate creation is built on a foundation of knowing your intentions .  In order to attract people who can help you attain what you want, you need to be clear about what you are looking to attract.

2) Practice the Law of Reciprocity. Spiritual people throughout the ages have said that you need to give in order to get.  To attract people who can help you, you need to explore ways to help others.  Look for ways to share your knowledge, find a resource that will help someone else, or just say an authentic kind word to someone who needs to hear it.

3) Build real relationships. The human nervous system is hard wired to want to help people we know and trust.  Social media is a relationship building tool – not an empty numbers game.  Find people who share your interest and get to know them.

4) Have fun! Joy is one of the most attractive emotional states there is.  Spreading good news and creating smiles attracts positive, helpful people.  And, remember that the Law of Attraction says that feeling good comes before getting what we want.

The Law of Attraction and social media are a natural match.  I have seen people use this combination to increase their success, find a new home, attract a wonderful partner, and much more.  If you’re looking for ways to have more of what you want, I encourage you to follow these tips to help you put the power of this combination to work in your life.
