I USE FACEBOOK TO PICKUP DUDES...I MEAN PROSPECTS!
How are you using Facebook? There are millions of people on Facebook daily. Some are farming on imaginary farms, some are feeding their web pets and others are connecting with old high school friends. Most importantly, some are finding the advantages of using Facebook for their business.
You can setup Fan Pages easily on Facebook to promote your business or product. There are tons of Fan Pages out there for almost anything you can think of. This is the best way to grow awareness on Facebook for your business. I currently maintain 6 different Fan pages for everything from my real estate practice to my blogging group. Fan pages allow you to keep your fans updated. They are public pages versus your profile, which is more private. You can have unlimited fans on your Fan Page where you are cutoff at 5,000 friends on a profile account.
Some of the benefits of Fan Pages: - They Are An Extension of Your Profile
- Can Have Unlimited Fans
- They Are Public
- Can Be Used to Send Messages To Large Groups to Keep Them Updated
- You Can Share Links and Data on Your Page
- Engage With Fans
On my regular Facebook profile I add everyone local to my market area. Once they are your friend, you can invite them to become fans of your pages. I strive to keep my profile page interesting, professional and quirky to my style. People really get to know my personality from reading the posts on my wall. I like to keep it positive. This attracts more involvement from others than having a negative page.
When trying to attract more friends:
- Be Positive - More People Enjoy Good Messages and Vibes
- Be Yourself (As long as you're not offending others)
- Try To Stay Neutral
- Add Anyone Local to You That You Could Do Business With (You can always make separate groups to keep some things private if you wish)
- Join Groups and Start Conversations With Them
To keep track of who drops you as a friend you can use an application on Facebook called Friend Drop. It will tell you whether someone has deleted your or they just deleted their profile. If you post too often, sometimes people with smaller friends lists will delete you because you keep showing up and they're not interested. I try to post 1-3 posts per day and this includes my blogs that feed through to my wall.
Whatever you are doing on Facebook, enjoy it. It's great technology and I love it for more reasons than I can count!
