So I have had a few clients call me and say they can’t find their “Fan Page” we have created for them. Instead of trying to write a Blog post about it, I decided to record a video.

The 7 Things Every Business Needs To Know About Facebook…  I get asked all the time,”Whats the benefit of Facebook, and how do I use it to make money?”  Here’s a quick rundown of the best practices to make Money from Facebook!  Let me know what you think…

1. Know the FOUR Business Goals for Your Facebook Account:

Get found by people who are searching for your products or services
Connect and engage with current and potential customers
Create a community around your business
Promote other content you create, including web pages, blog articles, and your advertising.

2. Every business should (must) create a page, so your customers can become your fans.

The myth is that Facebook is only for kids or Gen Y. It is for everyone. Older people and especially Baby Boomers (the oldest Baby Boomer is now 63 years old) which means most boomers are still working, in pretty good shape, and don’t think or feel old like they are ready for the rocking chair.

3. Profiles are for people, Pages are for businesses.
Do not create a personal profile for your business. This is one point that many people who are successful at Facebook are not even aware of (including me). A Page is similar to a Profile except that it is, by default, public and users can become a “fan” of your Page without first requiring approval from the Page administrator. Creating a Page is completely free but will require your time to build and maintain. To get started, visit http://www.facebook.com/pages

4. Make Your Page Easy to Understand

Use Tabs (The Tab Interface) - This allows you to group the content and applications as per your requirements. Not only you can edit the default tabs, but you can also add new tabs giving you complete control in its customization.

You can freely drag them to arrange in required order. With new Facebook application standards in effect, almost every new application (internal or 3rd party) can be integrated with Facebook tabs. This opens endless opportunities to create customizable tabs with your choice of third party applications.

5. PROMOTE - PROMOTE - PROMOTE
Know the Six Best Ways to Promote Your Page

Draw on your existing network. Start promoting your page to your own customer list.
Although Facebook is a do-it-yourself type of endeavor, have your webmaster make sure your pages are indexed just like your website pages. The results are amazing with this little fix.
Create Events, Discussion Boards and/or News Flashes about your business and community.
Join the various networks of people who would have an interest to buy from you.
Buy a Facebook Ad. For some reason this is not as widespread.
Every quarter, create a poll to get your fans’ feedback about their views on various pages or page elements.

6. Schedule a block of Facebook time (15 min?) each day to monitor your account/keep up with things/add new content.

If you are looking for ways to economically target internet traffic and promote your business online, launching a YouTube.com video marketing campaign is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to generate massive traffic to your website.

Video is Easy!

While this is exciting in itself, the really exciting thing about online video marketing on YouTube.com and other video sites, is that videos posted on these sites rank extremely well in the search engines.

In short, by posting a free video on YouTube.com, you can take advantage of the immense size and search engine power of that site to boost your own website and your own business profile on and offline. - Justin Jones

YouTube.com recently announced that it shows over 100 million videos each day. Imagine if you were reaching only a tiny portion of that crowd of viewers, say much less than one percent. You could still potentially expose your business to over 5000 viewers a day!
