There are a number of ways you can begin learning how to use Facebook for business. Facebook offers a variety of methods, free and paid, that help you gain more exposure for your company. This is especially helpful if you have a brand new website that you need to promote, but you don't want to spend a lot of money in doing so.
Here are some ways you can start promoting your company using Facebook. Remember, you can start small. You don't have to use the paid options if you don't want to.
1. Make a basic Facebook fan page: Just clicking the "Create a page" button on Facebook will launch you on a three-step process that's very quick and simple to complete. All you have to do is input the name of the website or company (which cannot be changed, by the way, so make it right the first time!), upload a photo or company logo, and add a company bio or description. Voila! Your page is now up and running.
2. Network with your friends: If you don't want to learn how to use Facebook for business by paying other people to promote your page, than promote it yourself. Ask your Facebook friends to "like" your page, and offer to like one of theirs in return if they have one.
3. Pay for others to get likes for you: Many start-up web developers and freelance consultants offer services on the side that involve collecting Facebook likes on your behalf. Some offer as many as 500 likes, depending upon how much money you pay them and how much time you give them to go out and get those likes. This is generally a fairly inexpensive endeavor. For instance, some people charge just a few dollars to collect 25 to 50 likes.
4. Pay for ads: Advertise your Facebook page by paying Facebook to post your ad alongside others' profiles. Select an eye-catching photo that will grab their attention, and write a few words of copy. You might even offer a special deal to those who like your page within a certain time frame. Everyone loves getting a deal, and the more deals you offer in return for likes, the more likes and fans you'll receive.
5. Trade promotions with a similar business: Instead of making your competition your enemy, make them your friend. Offer to promote their page in a status if they'll do the same for you. Your page will be promoted amongst their followers, and their page will get exposure amongst your followers. You can even "like" each others pages. These likes will show up on the left side of your fan page, so that when fans visit the page, they'll see that a company has liked yours and may be inclined to like it as well.
These ideas should help you get started in learning how to use Facebook for business. Remember to start off with the free ideas, then move to the paid ones as you see fit.
