Marketing on Facebook

21 replies
Hello, so after a few days on Myspace, I've realized that's not going to do the job very well. I was wondering what everyone thinks about marketing on Facebook. Are there any useful third party programs or tools for it? I don't have my main site online yet, so I need to put SOMETHING online as soon as possible.

      go for FB Pages there are a lot of free courses on how to make good FB pages and how to market it. the like feature is an easy way to build a list coz one people like your page, you can send updates to all of the people who clicked like on your page.

      create an offer and a reason why people should hit like to your page.

      tip: google up FB Fanpage reveal tab. awesome stuff.

    I think Facebook is excellent when you need to target users demographically. I've used it to taget younger males who likes iPhones/Apple/iTunes etc. This makes the add highly targeted.

    On the other hand, you need to think what state of mind the user is in when browsing on Facebook? It's obvious that people using Facebook are not in the same decision making state of mind as those searching on Google. This is why I'm focusing my efforts on Adwords. But Facebook is definitely improving and many has had great result with it.

    facebook is better than myspace, you need to start your business with a fan page, if you get lot of fans, probably you are lucky.

    The main thing is niche,If your site related to entertainment or you want to showcase entertainment related ads then it is easy to get success,Because youths like music and ringtones.If it is different niche i opt for google adwords only.

    A fan page is by far your quickest and easiest route here. However not having your main site up and running will be slightly detrimental to your campaign. However with the right backing you could quickly get a large following. Using facebook search to your advantage might be a beneficial avenue.

    fan page, I tried to create one, but I am not much of a designer.

    I got a warrior to do one for me, and I was flabbergasted how good it turned out.

    I think the better the fan page looks, teh more people will keep coming and checking it out.

      Agreed! As a seller of facebook fan services, there is no doubt that the better the landing page on facebook, the better conversions you will see.

      It looks like hit and miss with Facebook. It's still a social place where people just check in. As mentioned above, it takes a lot of work and targeting to get converted sales. This isn't for the beginner, that's for sure.

    Use facebook as it is meant to be. As a social tool for you to keep in touch with your friends and fans.

    I use facebook as a way to distribute content and create trust with my customers. This is the best use when marketing with facebook.

    MySpace is dead. All they can hope for now is that someone buys them and knows what they are doing. Facebook is a goldmine...if you do it right. You can't just get on there, spam your own page and think someone is going to bite. Facebook is a social media website. The keyword there is "social". Go, get to know people, let current and potential customers get to know you and what you have to offer. Engage Engage ENGAGE! BUT DON'T SPAM! Remember, you are not the center of the universe. Post interesting topics, questions, polls, ask questions, be, well, social.
