Facebook is another in a long list of social networking
sites. There's MySpace, LinkedIn, Ryze, etc.
Certainly too many to join and keep up with AND run your
business at the same time. So what's a busy entrepreneur
to do?
I spent some time playing around on Facebook this weekend
and wanted to share some of high impact, low effort ways
you can easily market your business using it -- without a
lot of time or effort:
1. Include your website/blog link on your Facebook profile
page.
By including links to your website and blog, you invite
anyone who visits your page to quickly and easily visit
your website, opt-in page, blog, etc. You can even include
a screenshot of your website, blog or any other URL to give
visitors a "sneak peek".
I even link to my MySpace page.
2. Post notes just like you would in an online forum.
Have something to share? Post a note on your or someone
else's "wall" and watch the responses come flooding in!
3. Invite people to your events.
Have an upcoming teleclass? Invite your friends, and their
friends.
A friend of mine is holding a teleclass later today and she
got about 45 registrants from Facebook alone (makes it
worth the 5 minutes to post a notice!).
You can then blanket email everyone who "accepts" your
invitation and send them the event info through Facebook.
4. Use an RSS feed to show your blog entries.
Not only is this another effective way to repurpose your
blog entries and reach people who may not have known about
you otherwise, it's done automatically for you!
Set it once and forget it. You can show either your blog
post titles or a summary of each posting.
5. Set up groups which relate to your business, hobbies,
etc.
You can join others' groups or set up your own and invite
your friends to participate.
As much as I enjoy MySpace, LinkedIn and some of the other
sites, Facebook has won me over as being the simplest to
set up and most fun network out there.
