Reasons to use Facebook for your Business, Part 2

Here is part two from an except from Mari Smith's article Top Ten Reasons Businesses should use Facebook.

6. Develop your personal brand.
The lines between business and personal have become blurred. You can reveal as much or as little about yourself as you wish, allowing you to personalize your brand.

7. Target your niche.
Users volunteer vast amounts of information about themselves that you can readily access. These kinds of demographics, psychographics, and technographics would previously have cost fortunes to access. Author, John Battelle, calls Facebook a “database of intentions.”

8. Get rapid top Google placement.
Create a Page for your business and share information with your fans. Pages (for business) and Profiles (for personal) are indexed for optimal search engine positioning. Facebook has a page rank of #5 according to Alexa. Related post: On Facebook, Profiles are personal. PAGES are for Business.

Reasons to use Facebook for your Business

Here is an except from Mari Smith's article Top Ten Reasons Businesses should use Facebook.

1. Meet your peers.

Facebook is not just for college kids anymore. Members are typically older and more mature than on other sites, and there are more affluent and more educated white collar users.

2. Find business contacts.

With more than 100 million active users, and predicted to be 500 million by 2011, not only are your friends on Facebook, so are your prospects, your customers, your JV partners… and, of course, your competitors. You need to be on too.

3. Instant gate opener.

Facebook members are open to connecting. You can easily begin a dialog with highly successful—even famous—people who were previously otherwise unreachable.

4. Build relationships.

By engaging in conversations with your prospects and customers, you can better adapt your marketing and business services to meet their needs.

Turning to my expertise, putting multiple videos on Facebook about you, your business, products and services helps in a non-threating way to inform, educate and turn those prospects into customers.

Sorry for the delay

Wow, I guess the human ability to loose track of time has set in. Meaning, I forgot to keep my blog up-to-date. I need to to practice what I preach. Anyway, in an attempt to keep all my sites up-dated lets touch on social networking.

If you are going to do it - keep it current. Ok, now that I have broken that rule, lets remember when you get a following, you must keep them fed or they will wander.

No excuses but I have been working on getting on the social networking cycle. Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, Merchant Circle, You Tube (since we do video lets show off what we offer). This I have found to be time consuming at the least.

For now follow me on one or more of the above social networks. Have a great day and God Bless!
