What is Facebook?
Facebook is a social utility for connecting people with those around them – friends, family, co-workers, or simply others with similar interests.
Facebook started in 2004 as a closed community for college students (requiring users to sign up with a valid university email address) but has since expanded beyond that to high schools, corporations, regional networks, or any user across the world.
Facebook allows users to connect and share information in a variety of ways.
Worldwide, there are over 1.39 billion monthly active Facebook users (MAUs) which is a 13%
increase year over year.
890 million people log onto Facebook daily (DAU) for December 2014, which represents a
18% increase year over year.
6.5 billion likes generated daily as of May 2014 which is a 67 % increase from August 2013 .
five new profiles are created every second.
Age 25 to 34, at 29.7% of users, is the most common age demographic.
Average time spent per Facebook visit is 30 minutes. Every 60 seconds on Facebook: 510
comments are posted, 293,000 statuses are updated, and 136,000 photos are uploaded.
4.75 billion pieces of content shared daily as of May 2014 which is a 94% increase from August 2013.
Facebook doesn’t have any constraints of time or space
More public – easier for other people to listen in
74% of marketers report that Facebook is critical or important to their business.
32 Million local business pages have been created as of May 2014 which is a 100
percent increase from 16 million in June 2013.
Facebook has a multiplier effect…Of implied TRUST!

How to Get Started
Personal Profile vs. Business Page
Set up a Personal Profile first and then create a Business Page that you will administer
Personal Profiles have friends (mutual acceptance) and Business Pages have fans (one-way opt-in)
04/14/23
A Page is similar to a Profile except that it is, by default, public, and users can Like and become a “fan” of your Page without first requiring approval from the Page‟s administrators. Creating a Page is completely free but will require time to build and maintain. To get started, visit www.facebook.com/pages/create.php (Note: you must be logged in to create a Page). Facebook will then walk you through a simple wizard to create your Page.

10 Tips For Promoting Your Business
Tip #1: Create an Engaging Page
EventsVideosDiscussion
sPhotosBlog
Articles
Create an engaging Page. Use applications like the discussion board and YouTube video box to add more interesting and engaging content to your Page. Give users a reason to become a fan of your Page and engage with you.
Tip #2: Go Viral – Leverage News FeedNews Feed shows
updates on your and your friends’ activity
First thing you see when you log in
Your updates show on your profile “Wall”
Allow users to engage with you – each activity is shared with their network
Tip #3: Draw on Your NetworkYou most likely already have email subscribers and blog readers – so make sure they know that they can now become a fan of your business on Facebook. Consider emailing your opt-in mailing list, including a link to your page in your email signature, blogging about your Facebook page, and posting a link or badge to your page on your website or blog.
Tip #3: Draw on Your Network
Tip #4: Optimize for Search
Facebook SearchBased on # Fans
Make your Page publicly searchable. By default, your Page will be public so that it can get indexed by search engines and give you the opportunity to drive organic search traffic to your Page. If you don’t notice your page showing up in searches, make sure you have set it to be publicly indexed and searchable. Go to Edit Page and then Settings and set your page to be “Published (publicly visible).”
Tip #4: Optimize for SearchPublic Search
Check your settingsChoose good URL
Tip #5: Advertise on Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/advertising/
Create Your Ad
Advertise a website or
something on Facebook (Page,
Group, Event)
Target Your AudienceTarget by Location,
Gender, Age, Keywords, etc.
Set Your Budget
Choose Pay Per Click or Pay Per
View(Click through rate
on Facebook is LOW! Go PPC)
Tip#6: Introduce new products on Facebook first. People who sign up to be fans of your Facebook page are likely your most loyal evangelists and customers. Reward them by giving them information about a new product/service/feature before everyone else. If you do it right, they will help you promote it to others.
Tip#7:Welcome new page visitors. When thinking about Facebook, a new metric comes to mind: visitor-to-like. As a B2B company, you ultimately want to maximize the percentage of people who visit your Facebook Page and click the "Like" button. One important way to achieve this goal and establish expectations with new fans is to implement a 'welcome' landing page that invites new visitors to Like your Page.
Tip#8: 'Like' other businesses’ Facebook Pages. Remember that social media is, well, social. By Liking the Pages of business partners, valued vendors, and customers, Facebook will notify the administrators of those Pages. In return, some of them may also decide to Like your Page, which will also expose it to the individual fans of their Pages. Think of this as leveraging Facebook for co-marketing efforts.
Tip#9: Create contests on Facebook. Contests are a fun and engaging way to encourage participation from fans and even generate new fans. For example, in order to enter a contest, one company asked people to comment on a thread announcing a giveaway in Facebook.
Tip#10: Integrate traditional advertising with Facebook. The Facebook icon/logo is well known. Add it to your print ads to promote your Facebook presence. Another great idea is to use traditional ads to promote contests that encourage people to sign up on your fan page.
