4 reasons to have a Facebook fan page
I come across so many people who do not know about Facebook business pages. For many people, Facebook is a place where young people exchange photographs, comments etc and spend hours and hours on computers checking their Facebook accounts! These are the personal profiles.
There is also a place on Facebook for business and Facebook business pages are a thriving community! It is incredible to see what people are doing with their pages and how much business they are attracting. Facebook is such a powerful platform and is a very different way of marketing – the new Word of Mouth marketing!
With over 800 million ACTIVE users – almost every demographic is now using Facebook meaning your niche is very likely to have a ready and waiting audience.
With a business page you can:
1. Explode your visibility: Fan Pages have no limit to the number of fans you have – the more fans you have – the more newsfeeds you appear in – the more the virality explodes!
2. Showcase your business: Customised landing pages showcase your business – include your message, logos, branding. This is also a great place to offer some value to your clients.
3. Engage with people: Everyone who comes to your page is interested in your business. Just like you talk about the weather and what’s happening in the world in an office environment/with your customers – this happens on your Facebook page. The more interest you generate, the more they talk to you, the more interested they are in your business and the more likely they are to tell other people about you.
4. Be found by search engines: Many areas of your business page (info and about sections, custom tabs, page name, etc) are indexed by search engines which strengthens your internet and social media presence.

At last!
I know I should be on facebook, I have a page, but never know what to do with it. This has certainly helped.
Also there’s no point on ultimateblogging if you don’t take the time to look at other people’s offerings!
Why should people bother to read your blog if you don’t read theirs!
I’m glad I’ve looked at other blogs, because I’ve learned lots of useful information. Your blog is a case in point!
Thanks for your great comment! I have also learnt from other blogs – ultimate blogging has been a great experience so far!
I agree with Jo. Do you have any advice on how to get more “Likes” on a page?

Hi Charlie ~ if you go to my Facebook page there is a checklist to download for free and it has some tips in it too! Facebook page is called Social Bizniz and there is a link to it in the last paragraph of this post!
The take up on my Facebook page is pretty low, have been trying to find a way of marketing it more. I’m not sure what else I can do to get it ‘out there’!
