Why a Facebook Business Page, do you ask?

By
Real Estate Agent with KW United | Alexandria/Kingstowne

You should create a Facebook Business Page for Real Estate if you haven’t already. By creating a Facebook Account to locate and connect with family, friends & associates. It’s place to meet before you meet. It would be wise to create a personal page and a business page to separate the two. You may not want everyone to see the vacation that you when on to the Bahamas or your outings with friends. It’s up to you but understand that what you post on Facebook everyone can see unless you prevent them from doing so which I will explain later.

I was curious to see which pages in each alphabet category had the most fans. Here are the results:

  • A – AKON over 22 million
  • B – Bob Marley over 24 million
  • C – Coca-Cola over 27 million
  • D – Disney over 22 million
  • E – Eminem over 36 million
  • F – Facebook over 40 million
  • G – Green Day over 15 million
  • H – Harry Potter over 23 million
  • I – iTunes over 14 million
  • J – Justin Bieber over 27 million
  • K – Katy Perry over 24 million
  • L – Lady Gaga over 34 million
  • M – Michael Jackson over 32 million
  • N – NCIS over 11 million
  • O – Oreo over 19 million
  • P – Paramore over 19 million
  • Q – Queen over 9 million
  • R – Rihanna over 32 million
  • S – Shakira over 29 million
  • T – Texas Hold’em Poker
  • U – Usher over 18 million
  • V – Vin Diesel over 23 million
  • W – Will Smith over 17 million
  • X – Xbox over 9 million
  • Y – YouTube over 33 million
  • Z – Zara over 8 million

My Facebook Page: DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia Real Estate - call 703.474.1754 over 135 fans

It seems like the pages with the most fans are celebrities. So, how did they get to over a million fans!!! Marketing and PR that’s how without no one would know that they exist. Make yourself viral with video on Youtube, find a niche that you can dominant (everything is a niche – specialize in assisting college parents housing for their children instead of dormitory living. It’s a tax advantage for them too.), just be aggressive and make yourself visible and unique.

Also, I believe that the search engines look at the FB business pages, but not the personal pages...

Hi Liz - This is true. It's based on how you create you search whether you want a page or a personal page.

Reshawna - keeping your business and personal Facebook persona's apart certainly is a must ..... there are too many weirdos out there and too many of your friends who say to much of a personal nature to share with the world.

ReShawna, This is a very informative post. It is amazing to see Facebook Fan pages with millions of fans. It goes to show you how powerful Facebook is. BTW, I just went and "liked" your fan page.

Rehawna -- I had no idea some pages had millions of fans. I don't keep up with any of those -- guess that's why. They also have hundreds of people promoting them, so that helps. I only have one.....me!

Thanks Barbara. That's true. We all need mini-promotors for us. I guess for now word of mouth will have to do by our friends and family. Enjoy your holiday weekend.
