How to Use Facebook to Promote Your Business.

Facebook Marketing Begins with Your Profile.

If you are using Facebook as a social site as well then you can use privacy lists to determine who sees what and so still ensure that your professional contacts see a professional profile. It is from here that most of your other Facebook marketing techniques will flow.

Using Facebook Pages to Promote Your Business.

In addition to your profile page you can also have a number of 'Facebook Pages' which are specifically for advertising your business and building your list of professional contacts (or fans). Facebook pages can generally include more advertising as it is all about your business. For starters you should have your business name as the title, information about your business (such as what you do, when you started, etc.) and some contact details and your website address. As with Facebook profiles you can also add applications that further extend the usefulness of these pages for marketing.

Facebook Groups.

Once you have set up your profile and pages you may want to consider either joining a few Facebook groups or setting these up yourself.

Whichever way you decide to do it, Facebook groups are useful for promoting your website and business.
