Facebook Marketing: Turning Your Likes Into Profits

By Meagan Smith


Facebook marketing is somewhat self-explanatory in how helpful it is, what with the prevalence of Facebook in every day life. By taking advantage of something that people regularly view in their free time, you can tap into a market that would be hard to reach otherwise. Read these tips to make the most of Facebook marketing.

Specially the use of fan pages, marketing through the use of Facebook tabs is an easy and efficient way to get the word out. Why not create a "Promotions" tab and highlight items you have on sale, coupons you've made available or even contests you're running. It's a great way to allow your followers to easily keep up with what's going on. Create a contest on your Facebook page that only fans of your page can participate in. This will make them excited to come to your page. They may even tell family, friends, or co-workers, meaning you will have more visitors coming to your page. Of course, more visitors means more business!

Another tip is to always send people back to your page even if you are replying to comments or tagging people with a picture. You want as much activity as possible in your page, the more activity you have the more chances you have of your page to go viral which could mean huge profits overnight.

Don't think of your fans as numbers. That's a big no-no in Facebook marketing. You aren't collecting numbers, you are building brand champions. You are creating a community of people who love your company or brand. Treat them with the respect that they are due. These people can make a difference for your company.

If you are able to build a large following on Facebook then you'll have access to an unlimited traffic source capable of bringing you thousands of leads for your business. Figuring out how to attract followers and maintaining a large fan base is the part you need to learn how to do. Hopefully these tips gave you some ideas and you are ready to take action.
