Facebook has dramatically changed the way people communicate with one another. It has created a platform for people to connect with family and friends instantly and keep them up to date on their lives through status updates, videos and photos.
Facebook has also brought in its wake incredible opportunities for marketers. Facebook provides business owners with free, referral-based viral marketing.
Viral marketing is simply a fancy way of referring to the "word of mouth" technique. The Fan Page, or the Like Page is the address for business and public figures to promote themselves or their products/services. The key to a successful fan page is to make your landing page similar to a web page that offers a special discount for fans or offers a free information product for signing up to the page. It is advisable to put in an opt-in form on the landing page so in case Facebook ever decides to change the rules and regulations for communicating with fans, you will still have your own e-mail list of those interested prospects.
You can easily use an RSS feed to link your blog to your fan page which will ensure that your fans will receive fresh content on an ongoing basis. Contests are a great way to get the word out to the millions of Facebook users. Getting fans to "like" your page is easy due to the fact that 5.5 million users already belong to groups and pages that they are interested in. Just browse those groups in your niche that offer similar products or services and begin to friend the administrators of those groups. Once you develop relationships with other like-minded group leaders and members the word will spread quickly to others when they see their friends "liking" your page. Just make sure you call your fan page something catchy that piques people's interests and makes them curious enough to visit your page.
