Hi!

While I am knowledgeable in internet marketing, web design, video marketing, html layout (dreamweaver) etc i.e. not really a 'newbie', I regretfully have ZERO knowledge of Facebook marketing i.e. fanpages etc.

Can anyone suggest an up-to-date training course, ebook (i hate video but will watch them if necessary) that will get me up to speed with up-to-date methods for using Fanpages/Facebook for marketing of products.

I don't mind spending money but I don't have time to read hundreds of pages of peoples life stories etc :-) A 20-50 page ebook with a few examples would be really good.

(Note that I HATE black-hat methods!!!! :-)

Detailed help/comments appreciated.

Thanks

Mik

    I have had the best luck in the past with facebook by offering something FREE of VALUE that the potential subscriber is likely to share with his/her friends that will win you a bit of viral traffic. The main objectives of facebook marketing is viral traffic, and getting your fans subscribed to your list and down the sales funnel.

    From my experience products posted directly on fan pages do not perform as well as luring list subscribers with free items and selling to them later down the road. Hope this helps.

      That's some pretty interesting insight.

      I too haven't gotten into FB marketing yet either.
      It's on my to do list for sure.

    In that case I would start by creating a fan page. Visit facebook .com/pages/ and click on "create page"

    This guide on mashable does a great job of walking you through the entire process.

    Once you create a page you will want to add a welcoming tab to your page

      Those are good suggestions, however I would recommend just sticking to the basics above ... it's easy to get lost in the fluff of a lot of the ebooks that are available out there.

      For now I suggest taking action on the basics, and learn the advanced along the way. It's so easy to get wrapped up into the "learning phase" and forget to take action.

      When looking for facebook traffic, keep in mind that a large % of internet users ARE logged into facebook, sometimes cheaper traffic sources are just as effective for capturing leads from facebook as buying the traffic from facebook itself.

    I am really good at getting 1 to 5 penny clicks and getting thousands of fans in a short amount of time. My problem is monetizing. Send me a message. Maybe we could partner up. I help you with FB Fan Pages and you help me in getting set up with email campagns etc.

    @ TeriAlvim- swap you! You teach me traffic and I'll teach you monetization. The method I'm dying to try out would suit you down to the ground.
