Facebook Marketing 101: Everything You Need To Know

2/2/2015

 
Facebook is among the Internet's most popular sites, simply because it works to keep friends and family connected in a simple way. Because of this, Facebook is also an effective tool for marketing a business. The following advice will show you how it is done.

The key to all marketing is to understand why you're doing it. What is your end goal? Once you have that figured out, you can more easily create a plan to bring in exactly who you want to turn from Facebook like into customer. So start brainstorming today - what are you marketing?

Think of Facebook as a dialogue. A lot of people when they begin Facebook marketing, talk AT their audience. You need to talk WITH your audience. Feel like you are having a conversation with them, not like you are announcing things to them. Remember, Facebook is a social medium. You need to be social.

Try using Facebook ads. Paid ads via Facebook can help your business because they let you target your audience in various ways. You are able to specify the gender, age group, location, and more of your audience. You can be as narrow or broad as you like when specifying their needs. Set campaign budgets and bid prices to test as many headlines, images, and ad copy as you like. If your campaign doesn't work, you can stop it right away so that you don't overspend on it.

There is nothing wrong with posting links to content on your website from Facebook. People think that Facebook fans want to stay on Facebook all day - this is a myth. In fact, they're quite happy to visit your site as long as you offer them something of interest, so give it a try.

There are plenty of resources you can use to learn more about Facebook marketing but keep in mind that the methods recommended by Facebook marketing gurus might not be adapted to your target audience. Learn as much as possible about Facebook marketing and choose the methods that seem to be adapted to your audience.

Put together a Facebook contest. People love fun things like contests and quizzes on Facebook. It's one of the things that makes the social media site so very special. It's not that hard for your company or brand to put together a contest, and it can really open up the engagement level of your community.

A good way to convert visitors to your page into followers is to hide content from non-fans. If you have an area of your Facebook page hidden so that only followers can view it, you will be able to convert the casual visitor into a follower. Take care just to hide a small bit of content, so that you do not undermine SEO opportunities.

Rather than boycotting Facebook and the benefits that it can have for drawing attention to your business, realize that Facebook marketing is very effective! No matter if you're a start-up or small business, you can use this marketing to better your success. Use this advice to take advantage of marketing on Facebook.
