Does anyone have a fan page on Facebook?

You mean fan page of products or people ?

Fan pages are WONDERFUL ways to separate your work and real life identities. Actually its a MUST.

Use your Fan Page as your primary facebook tactic - keep things separate

They call them "Like Pages" now. I'm in the process of setting a page up promoting an ebook with an opt-in form on the page.

Hi!

I use fan pages as a way of getting optin leads and generating my list......so if that counts as a money making device then yes

If used right fanpages can be brilliant sources of optins.......as the pretty much advertise themselves as long as you keep interacting and adding content.

Chris

I'm actually planning on setting one up in the next week for a new site I'm working on. Now just to find the time to figure it out. I'm not really a Facebook person, but my market for this site is, so ...


Leslie

Thank you for the offer, Chris, I'll keep it in mind

Anyone know good ways to find fans besides using friends?

i did create one for my friend....it was fun
but deleted it later on....although i didnt make money out of it

I have a fan page but I am still learning how to make money from it.

Is a fan page a new product or some type of extra service Facebook offers or is it just making another facebook page?

Agreed with most of the people above, nowadays a Fan Page is a must regardless of your personal feelings towards facebook. When you have a big enough userbase, you can start monetizing them directly from the fan page

Grab a fan page, market it, capitalize it with CPA Offers. Perpetual income.

I use Fan page to build my list

In the testing stage now.

There must be a way to maximize my lead capturing effort. I think squeeze page is an important factor to get people to subscribed to your list.

Yeah it's great.

I have it linked to Twitter which is then linked to my blog - so everytime i make a new post it gets tweeted then posted to my wall - so all my fans can read it. Of course they start hitting the like button so it then shows on there wall and then their friends see it and like it or click it and so on and so on.

Can usually get hundreds of visits just after posting a new post without having to link it anywhere!

Created a facebook fan/like page around 2 weeks ago for a new site of mine. It is actually pretty easy to create. Easily done in 3 or 4 steps. It will give you the opportunity to link the page to your twitter page too, so you will be easily targeting facebook and twitter users alike with one post.

Yeah I got one but i really dont use it for money (at least not at this moment!) I read some ebooks on how to use fan pages to get a big list and stuff but I dont think I can separate my personal page to money making yet.

I got 3000 fans in there at the moment and all I do is to post updates about a "certain" star. We are growing alright. I heard fan pages are the best option we got to profit from CPA.

Got one up. Timepiece Photo's Page @ FB. 'Don't have th' foggiest of the url, but supposedly one can look me up under that, my Bus., or as H R Ingram III, my profile page. 'Haven't seen either settin' my world on fire; but I do post t' both @ least once a week.

I am having incredible (and surprising) results for a facebook ad I put up for a niche. The issue is that there is a different mentality with fb users. You must be willing to commit the time in to give your fans information that they want to interact with and continue following you. I really do not see using FB as a way to sell in to more than say 5 niches, as there is a time requirement to post every day (yes every day).
For now I am recommending that before you try to make money in any niche, you do a facebook campaign first. With the ability to laser target your market by interests, gender, ages, locations, if you can't get fans or make money there first you are never going to be able to expand past FB.
I am actually keeping track of my successes and failures and hopefully will have a nice free wso coming out soon to help everyone like me try to figure this out without paying the latest guru $1997!

Hey bgmyk28,

Here is my like page that I have been working on. Still have some details to finish up.

Internet Marketing For Newcomers | Facebook

I have several that I created after maxing out at
5000 "friends."

They do generate business for me although they
are not set up to maximize the results. For example,
I need to add video and some type of opt-in.

Right now, most people contact me via direct
message on FB, but it's usually people seeking joint
ventures or a joint venture broker... so a valuable
connection most of the time :-)

Thanks for all the answers everyone! Hope to hear more. Also can someone let me know how to put a signature up. I've tried, but no luck. I'd appreciate the help, thx! Mike

Not making money with the fan page per se, but using it as a way to stay in touch with customers, share sales, ask them to share new freebies with their friends, etc. I don't see it as a way to "make money" and I think a lot of others would agree that you need to go at it as relationship building and list buildling...the money should then follow if you do it right!

Yes, I have a Facebook fan page. I also have a standard Facebook account. I build relationships through my standard account and then ask them to sign up for my Facebook fan page. Most people are responsive to my requests for this.

hello
I am trying the same thing. My page doesn't have any followers yet but I am hopeful.

I do. And i'm earning some few bucks and I can say that it's very lucrative.

I have 2. One is over 12,000 fans, the other one is about 9,000. I build my list with them and also promote cpa offers on them.

They are simple to set up once you learn how. First time doing anything always takes the longest.

Go easy on them and don´t promote too much or you will lose them. I lost several because I was marketing too aggressively on them. One post a day should be good.

I tried using Facebook, but most of the times banned. Couldnt add more than 10 friends one go.

no
am not having it on the face book

I have got around 7 Fanpages and well their conversation rates vary. Although I do get user participation on all my pages but turning an FB user into a customer is tricky (at times).

I have been reading a lot lately about fanpage can really boost your business. I am not a big FB kind of person, but I think its time for me to make fanpage for my blog. I heard its a really good way to promote and increase traffic to your blog.

I have one... Why not give it a try for yourself? After all you'll have nothing to loose then, instead it will boost your online presence and help you promote your page.

If you're into online business, then don't limit your horizon... try every possible ways and methods that can put your business on top.

I don't know if that is really possible. As far as I know you can only use fanpage to get traffic...

I experienced setting up one and also managing another group. It's a great experience and yes, It's a great way to separate your personal to a business-level presence online so making a page is highly recommended.

We just created our own custom fanpage & competition to win a page design, which might be of interest to some of you guys

How weird, I just came onto the forum with the objective of asking exactly the same question! must be pychic lol

I have had a few signups to my Facebook opt-in form/squeeze page, but it isn't proportionate to the number of fans I have though unfortunately.

When you create a page, you don't necessarily have top become a fan = anonymity

Not from fan page actually, i am making money from facebook application.

Lots of warriors have them. Set one for you to to gain its benefits in terms of marketing.

I have a FB fan page as can be seen in my sig file. The reason you need one is if you look at the stats on time spent on faceboook you will see that between it and youtube they are sucking all the oxygen away from google. I can see that in my referrals from google. Faceboook is becoming a intranet that people go on and stay on without surfing elsewhere.

The beauty of faceboook fan pages is that you can send a status update or email to what is hopefully targeted customers,a feature that is built in to their system. You should however capture and build your email list which is another reason to be there.

Start by going to fiverr and add some "likes" to look like you are up and running.

One way to get traffic is by doing youtube commenting on subjects relating to your fan page and having your faceboook fan pagelink on your youtube channel page. Comment should be a tease to look at your channel.

I am getting about 50 channel views per day and growing.

I am using my faceboook fan page to give out free SEO information and plugging an infrequent offer.

Joanthan Budd has 20,0000 fans and is selling blue sky there all day long.

I have other ideas just havent had time to implement.

I've recently started a fan page for my Kettlebell Fitness site and boom - I have a whole new community of users that I can interact with, sell my stuff to, give freebies to. it's great! There really isn;t an easier way to build a relationship with your potential customers (and what's more, if they like what they see they will pass on your page to friends and before you know it, it's gone viral.

I have 2000 fans on my fanpages for my website I have to say it's a very good way to earn money with CPA zip/email submit

Most of the paid fans convert very poorly. They are mostly generated account or someone who could careless what you offer.

Damn I am posting once per month on my fan pages ...

Yes, Facebook fans are loyal visitors to your site. They will definitely earn you money. I use it to get traffic

Anyone making money on Facebook?

I have heard about this that people are making money of their fan pages but I don't know for sure how they monetize their fan pages with if not the affiliate links. Maybe it's possible if the fanpage has lots of fans and then monetize it with cpa offers.

Fanpages are great for local business owners. Not sure if they are any good for CPA stuff, haven't dabbled in any of that.

Dave

Can anyone tell the best way to go about making Facebook fan pages with no cost? and how to generate likes and traffic and make money at the same time?

is it anyone in this thread had any experience with big fans on it fanpage/ fb group? how could you monetize it?

Hello All,
I am new member for this forum and also very interested in internet marketing

almost everyone on this forum has fan page on facebook,

I make money on facebook with fan pages directly and indirectly.

I mean I have some where I offer help directly and then every so often post a link directly to a buy now offer.

Other pages, I offer help and then get them on my emailing lists where I offer more help and upsales then.

And for a few offline businesses, I have created fan pages where I build client bases for them and I get paid anywhere from $100 to $350 per new client who walks into their business one time. (I might add, I do not go directly after offline clients. They have come to me via friends or having seen my other fan pages.)

One doesn't simple make money with Facebook fan page alone, because your affiliate is already have their own fan page. Fan page is useful for anyone who wants to promote their product using Facebook, though it needs a lot of time to get many fan. Get ready to spend some bucks, but I can promise you, the traffic is really targeted, and once they've become a fan, they will follow your status every time they open their Facebook.

I have a couple (currently 7) successful fan pages in different niches and i've made money from them. I've also coded a couple of the page customization software out there, own a social search engine and numerous social autoresponder/CRM integrators.

To answer the questions:
1. Yes, you can make money off fan pages, but you have to realize a page is better at getting prospect than getting sales. FB is great at letting people know about your existence, but just having the page is not going to cut it. You need fans, you need to engage them, make them feel something: happyness, sadness, whatever... bind them to you in a way that best fits your product.

2. The best way of getting targeted fans is through FB advertising in the very beginning. I filled up the last page i started (a month ago) until 200 fans with advertising, cost me around $100, then i started posting content and I grew since then with average 40 likes per day, for free, without promoted stories. Whenever I promote a story i get 20-30 extra likes per day, not worth it for my pages at this point.

3. You can get 1000 fake fans for close to nothing, I've done that too in the beginning, but in my experience they will:
a) make your stats completely worthless and unreadable, so you dont know if 50 real fans just unliked your page or if it were the fake ones.
b) slow you down, it's better for you to know you have real 50 fans and work harder than have 1050 and slack off.
c) boost your page's complaints rates, they just like you for an offtopic incentive, but will unlike/complain when you're posting stuff they're not interested in
d) mean nothing to your real fans. Your real fans check how many of their friends are fans, not how many fans you have, at least not on the scale you can get dummy fans for anyway.
In short: don't do this if you're serious about your business

I don't make money directly from my fanpage. But fanpage is definitely one of the ways that allows me to communicate with my customers and build rapport.

BIG FAT YES !!! Not only for myself but my clients. We build mini websites within the Facebook Tabs and either take people to shopping carts for a sale or collect a lead and convernt them into a sale or new client.

FB pages are great - they don't actually show up on your own FB unless you Like your own page.

Don't be tempted to "buy" fans - real ones are what you need. Also remember people will only like genuine things, not crappy eBooks or other junk - this ain't 2010 anymore.

One of my friend is using fb and she is earning a lot from there. Besides that, pininterest will another place for you to promote your products. It works better than fb.

Is there anyone who DOESN'T have one?

Hi..i'm new in this forum..just wanna know,does anybody here plan on selling their facebook fanpage? or you have interest to buy fanpage from Malaysia(my country) to broaden your business prospects around the globe? let me know about it..

I have a fan-page up, I am in the process if putting up a lead capture page which is essential to get leads and get people to your offers. I believe that once you have a good offer to promote with exposure on your fan-page then sales will start to come in...

Hi
I have a fanpage with 500k , Pm me for more details

I started a fanpage on Facebook recently and have been getting a lot of attention from it.

Rent-IP | Facebook

For me,facebook fanpage is a new way of marketing your products online..The concept is just the same as email marketing where you send promotions to your customers through email after you got their email address.But through fb fanpage,u just need to attract people to LIKE your page and that's it,u got a new customer easily..

I am learning how to make money from it.

Yea I make money with my fanpage. I use to to communicate with potential customers, offer discounts, and sometimes for support / questions.

First Social | Facebook

I'm surely gonna make a facebook "Like Page" soon...It works very adeptly with your business...especially the whole "cycle" of social network sharing now-a-days...It's basically becoming perennial with your company...covering all seasons, etc.

Am I right in thinking that if my fan page 'likes' a persons comment/reply on someone else's Facebook page they get notified that I have liked their comment?

Also, How can I keep my business fan page and my personal one TOTALLY separate?

Thanks for your help guys !

Ya I have. I use the page to promote my site and it is working well. I have got good PR recently.

I' m curious with this topic. couldn't wait for more answers

yeah! i am also facing same problem. more then 10 friend are not allowed on go

I do. There is a link to one of mine on the left there. I'm not really earning much money from it though. Oh well.

I don't advise you to try to make money with your Facebook fan page. It's a great tool to attract fans and give them free information. It's a well-known fact that social media is for communication, creating loyalty, improving customer relations... Basically it's a great instrument/platform for developing and improving relationships with fans/clients/members.

In fact, it's not recommended to use social media directly in order to promote sales. It's not part of the selling process... (except for a few cases when you might let members know about promotions, special offers).

You can still make money otherwise, e.g. through a well-developed website.

Good luck, mate!

I have earned money with my fan page on Facebook. I used adds to earn some of the money that I have while the other half is from personal inquires from prospective clients...

Facebook Page is really important for any business.

Any one having business or services can increase the brand name using

facebook page.

So that people can like your page and update the status to get the conversions.

Yes have a fan page on Facebook. but my motive is not to make money. Its just for fun, sharing thoughts and pic.

Fan page of Facebook is a good idea to promote your products. i am creating a Facebook Fan page named OSSCube and got a good response by user within short period of time.

Yes. I think its important to have a Facebook page so people can easily get in touch and to send your inquiries of your products and services.

Until now facebook do not have publisher account where people may publich their ads from their well known FB Fan you can only publish your ad and pay Facebook but alternatively if you have ad running on your website just iframe the page of your website that mostly receive the most visits per day - use the iframe plugin and have it run on FB fan page then people can just click any posts or pages and be directed to your website.

Isn't FB limiting fan page/like page posts to a fraction of the fans? They are wanting fan page owners to pay for full distribution of your fan page posts.

No! Have to create it soon...
