Learn How Facebook Can Help You Advertise Your Business

By Wilson Resturbee


If you're active on the Internet, you probably are on Facebook. In a conversation about online activity, the question of whether or not you are on Facebook will generally come up. The reason for this is that this social networking site has grown beyond every other site in its area. Your Facebook page nowadays is the equivalent of your online identity. But, what does this mean to marketers? Basically, Facebook provides a prospective market that you can reach with your product or service.

There are a variety of activities that keep the millions of Facebook users coming back over and over, including playing games, meeting new people, and chatting with old and new friends. All of this makes Facebook the most popular way to interact online. Imagine the potential traffic that you could bring to your website when you convert this large audience through advertisements on Facebook, ones that they all can see. In this article we'll go over some of the ways you can use Facebook to your advantage.

As soon as Facebook exploded and got millions of users, it started to become monetized. Social Ads was launched, which allowed businesses to put ads on Facebook to promote their service or product. Other service like Google Adwords are harder to use than the simple format that Facebook has developed for you. These ads can get a good response because you have an option to target them to users according to their age group, interest, gender, etc. People randomly clicking on your ads, when they are not really interested in your products, can be a problem with these type of ads. That's the advantage of the precise targeting, which means that only your chosen market will see your ad. You can get an increase of traffic on your site by making sure you have a higher click-through-rate. Another great way to get your ad noticed is to add a relevant picture or graphic that will grab your audience's attention. Ads appear to be more professional when they include a relevant picture, making people more likely to come to your site.

Now, as an alternative to spending money on ads, you can also promote for free on Facebook by creating fan pages and forming groups of followers. If done correctly, you and your product can gain popularity and a large audience. Members of Facebook love joining groups or becoming a fan of products or media they enjoy. So in turn you should take advantage of this fact by creating a fan page or a group and urge your customers and visitors to join. Best of all group pages allow members to invite other Facebook users to the group. However, in order to get the most out of your fan pages is to advertise and promote them through the use of Facebook's Social Ads and other marketing tools. Facebook groups and fan pages can get thousands of members overnight, but you have to know how to convert them into traffic to your site.

Try out Facebook if you want to surpass the efforts of your competition and speak to an audience much larger than the one you have now. It will do nothing but assist your company in reaching new heights. Not everyone likes taking risks and experimenting, but ultimately that's what determines how far you go.
