Why Join Facebook

After many many years of listening to people telling me I need to use facebook to promote my website and drive traffic as well as being told to join groups I am wondering why did I bother.

I joined a couple groups that are in my niche only to find out I can only post in the group as myself not as my business page. So tell me why bother joining a group if we can't post as our business.

Watching old how to videos on youtube I know people used to be able to post as there business page in groups.

What does everyone else do?

    Facebook is a massive player within the social marketing arena. So I always recommend people take a look at it.

    Now each social media strategy will be different depending on the platform you are using. Get to know how facebook operates, and learn how to become social on their platform.

    When you learn how to master FB I am sure you will regret not starting on it sooner.

    Now posting as a yourself instead of a business can be an advantage. People will rather do business with a real person instead of an unknown business. Connect with your audience on a personal level.

    Show them that you are a real person. Give them value, and then you can tell them to check out your business page.

    I hope this helps you my friend, and I wish you the best!

    You may use facebook Ads Campaign for website promotion. You already made business page, so ad campaign is better way.

    Having FB ad campaign is better than posting on every group for you. But if you make a good appealing profile of your own and sharing and commenting on groups can work too, as people would love to hear from a person than business.

    Congrats. You should have listened sooner. You're too late, it's dying. Invest your energy in Twitter instead.
