How To Use Facebook To Earn Money And Improve Your Business

Rewinding back five years was a time when Facebook was popularized for personal use only. It was designed mutually for friends. If you tried promoting your product or service on Facebook, your account will most likely be terminated. Boo.

Well, things have change and Facebook now has a facelift. They not only offer advertisers extremely targeted audiences based on their profiles, but also the users themselves.

Private users with businesses soon began to see the potential and power of Facebook networking to improve their business sales. Facebook soon felt pressured to create appropriate ways to do allow such trading activity without infringing on the individual community that was the main attraction of Facebook from the beginning. One result is “Facebook Pages.” Here’s what Facebook itself has to say about why they created Facebook Pages:

Facebook created Pages when we noticed that people were trying to connect with brands and famous artists in ways that didn't quite work on Facebook. We created Pages to offer you a way to accurately represent on Facebook what’s important to you in real life. Facebook Pages help you discover new artists, businesses, and brands as well as connect with those you already love. Not only can you connect with your favorite artists and businesses, but now you also can show your friends what you care about and recommend by adding Pages to your personal profile.

If you are a business, organization, musician, you are more than welcomed to create Facebook Pages to share information, interact with their customers/fans, and create a highly engaging presence plugged into Facebook’s social graph.

These Pages are distinct presences, separate from users’ profiles, and optimized for these presences’ needs to communicate, distribute information/content, engage their customers/fans, and capture new audiences virally through their customers’/fans’ recommendations to their friends. Facebook Pages are designed to be a media rich, valuable presence solution for any artist, business, or brand that can be integrated seamlessly into the user experience with socially-relevant applications.

Don't know what facebook is? Here's a quick overview.

Through a Facebook Page, your friends, customers, or fans can interact with you in a meaningful way, adding content to your Wall, adding photos, and interacting with other customers or fans. You, as a Facebook Page owner, can keep your constituents updated with news, new releases, or just helpful information. It creates a fascinating new type of word-of-mouth marketing.

Before you start to create a Facebook Page, browse existing pages to get an idea of how they’re done. Here is the Directory, from which you can search for a Facebook Page by category or by name.

It’s easy and free to start a Facebook Page. Note that you don’t have to have a personal Facebook profile first, but if you do, this can be your portal to your Facebook Pages. If you DO already have a Facebook account, do NOT create another one – it violates Facebook rules to have more than one account.

Now, let's get started on promoting your business on Facebook!

From one account, however, you can have an unlimited number of Facebook Pages. One blogger said he had trouble accessing all the menu features using Firefox, so you might want to do this with Internet Explorer.

Here are the simple steps:

1. Go to the sign-up page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

2. Choose an appropriate category is for your business. This can’t be changed later (if you want to change it, you have to delete that page and start another one), so take the time to choose wisely. Play with the drop-down lists to see the variety of options. Note that you can make a Facebook Page for a single product and there is no limit to the number of Facebook pages you can set up.

3. Type in your business or product or brand name and click "Create Page."

4. Enter a short description of your business and a Website URL in the "Add Information To This Page" area. If possible, upload your logo as a photo/image.

5. Click on the hyperlink for your business name in the top left corner and click "publish this page." This step is necessary so that others can see your business profile.

ONE IMPORTANT STEP TO MAKE on your new profile page, click "Add to my products" so that you become the first "fan" of your own business. From this, your other “friends” on Facebook will see something on their site like “Andrew Wang is a fan of your business name.” If any of your friends decide to become a friend to your business, then THEIR friends will see a similar message and the “good virus” begins to spread the word about your business, name or brand.

One powerful feature I love about Facebook Pages is the ability of the Page Administrator (Yes, that's YOU) to monetize the Page on Facebook. This can be done through applications (including third party applications), but if you already have the ability to carry out sales transactions on your own Website, simply use a link to send Facebook Page visitors to your sales site.

Facebook suggests that you can leverage the effectiveness and viral distribution of your Facebook Page by adding Facebook Social Ads. “Create an ad creative and attach it to stories in News Feed or in the left-hand Ad Space. Social Ads increase the number of friends who will see the story when they visit Facebook, and you can also target the ads to specific demographics.” For more about this, visit this page.

You can school yourself more about how to set up and use Facebook Pages by going to the HELP area and see all the most frequently asked questions. Of particular interest if you already have started a Facebook Group, it can be converted into a Facebook Page. See more about this in the FAQ link just mentioned.

So, start investing some time out now to learn about the powerful features and potential add-ons to make a Facebook Page an effective piece of your overall marketing plan.

Getting More Online Traffic Than You Can Imagine or HANDLE!

It's common sense, to do well online, you need traffic, just like anywhere else in business. Many unscrupulous people are trying to sell guaranteed traffic and lead packages online, which of course, don't work well!

So what are the real ways to get more traffic than you can handle? Let me unveil some secrets for you.

Here are 3 of TOP WAYS to generate enormous traffic.. more than you may even be able to keep up with.

1. Article marketing. I promote articles that are similar to this one and I use them to drive traffic back to my websites. Although articles remain popular, there's still a lot of room left for action takers. Many people write a few articles and then stop. Most stop because they think articles are not working. They do. I'm living proof of it!

2. Ezine advertising. Advertise via ezines! Kindly ask the owners if they'd be interested for a cross promotional campaign, or pay a small listing fee! You get instant traffic, and watch the numbers grow.

3. List traffic. Building your own mailing list and sending out emails is one quickfire way to get super responsive traffic in droves to your offers. Always, always, always, build a list. This is one of the most crucial step to take!

4. Pay per click advertising. This is commonly used by major organizations. Buying pay per click ads on Google and Yahoo is an ultra fast way to start getting traffic to your website. Bear in mind though that it is very easy to lose money if you are not experienced in this area, so start off slow, but scale up once you have found the right combination of keywords, ad copy and landing page offer.

That's all for today =) Stay tuned for more valuable tips in the very near future!

Coming Out With the Right Products to Sell Online!

You've seen it all before, niche products flooding the net market with the inventor or creator reaping in mass profits easily. How do they do it? Well, let me break down three main essentials they all considered to delivering a successful product:

1. Product Improvement

This is accomplished by making improvement to the existing product, and then selling or reselling them. By improving areas of flaws you caught on the previous author or creators work, you're then one step closer to making a better product.

2. Identification of Hot Trends

If you want to create a successful product, it's important to forecast and identify what's in, what's not. How? Read the news. Watch T.V, see what your friends are rumoring about. Search the net! If think that health products are the current trend, then go for it! Only through time will you know if it's a hit or miss! But if you don't give it a try.. you'll forever be missing out.

3. Ask Your Customers

Very few people do this when it's highly effective! It's also a very obvious way of actually getting to know what your potential customers would like to buy. The people who will visit your website will offer you great suggestions regarding the kind of product that you can create. You can then choose from the numerous suggestions on offer and go for product creation around that particular advice or suggestion.

That's all for now.. stay tuned for the next post.. !

'*' How to start a successful online business!!

Interested in starting up a sure-fire successful online business? Need guidance or direction? Well, you've come to the right post, and it's never too late to start!
As usual, I will keep each entry short, concise, to the point, and sound.

FIRST, you have to acknowledge that building a successful online business will require strategic planning, time investment, and patience. There's no such thing as an overnight success.. you might as well hit vegas and work the machines. Information technology is the best business weapon today, so hey, go harness it!

What's next? start setting aims and goals that are manageable for your business. What area of niche are you going for? Where can you search for those customers online? How many leads do you want to get in an average month? What are your profit goals in 1 month, 1 year and 5 years time? How many subscribers do you want on your mailing list?

Thirdly, start driving traffic (visitors and hits to your) opt-in page. This is a simple page designed to grow a mailing list at the fastest rate. Get an autoresponder like Aweber to capture your leads. Then create a simple page with a headline, a couple of succinct bullet points, and your opt-in form. Basically, you grab the code from your autoresponder account and paste it into your web page. It's that simple!

Spend most of your time on marketing. It's the setting up of working, automated marketing systems that separates the pros from the amateurs. Set up marketing systems all over the web that direct traffic to your business, and you'll have a business steadily thriving!
