Why Internet Marketers Should Use FaceBook, How It Can Help Grow Your Business And How To Get 500 Friends In 30 Days!
Introduction: Why Use FaceBook?
In marketing circles, there is a great deal of talk about FaceBook. FaceBook is a social
networking site that came quietly into the Internet scene in early 2004, when it was
founded by Mark Zuckerberg. Mr. Zuckerberg was still a student at Harvard University at
that time, and FaceBook was geared towards college students only.
Within the FaceBook interface, users are able to create their own profile, complete with
personal data, professional data, and a picture. They are then able to add other users of
Facebook to their circle of friends. They can add people they know or request to add
complete strangers, therefore widening their network, or circle of friends.
Friends – or strangers soon to be friends – can be located with their email address, by
region or city, by profession, by their school, or numerous other options. Once a person
has joined your circle of friends, you can interact with them by sending them messages
or leaving notes on their profile, which is essentially called ‘writing on one’s wall.’
As stated, FaceBook was initially designed for use by college students – first those
attending Harvard, and later those attending other ivy league schools.
A lot has changed
in four years, and now anyone over the age of 13 can open a free account at FaceBook
and start interacting with others. Today, there are more than 80 million people using
FaceBook.
Since FaceBook has become open to non-college students, some of the most famous
Internet Marketers, including John Reese, Mike Filsaime, and Willie Crawford have
found that the social networking site is more than just a way to connect with old friends
and to meet new friends, it can also be used as a valuable marketing tool.
Internet Marketers around the world have found that FaceBook allows them to interact
with people on a more personal level, which in turn builds even greater trust and
stronger relationships with customers and potential customers. It has even been said
that social networking, especially through a site such as FaceBook, is more effective
than marketing to one’s opt-in list in many ways.
FaceBook is no longer a ‘little known secret.’ It’s been blown wide open, and it is
essential that you start using it and including social networking in your Internet Marketing
endeavors – just as the most influential Internet Marketers are already doing.
