Using Facebook For Business

Facebook is a social networking service that was created by Mark Zukerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moscovitz and Chris Hughes, in the year 2004. Facebook was initially a platform for Harvard students to communicate with each other, later it opened up to other colleges in Boston, and then to high schools, and eventually to anyone over the age of 13. Facebook shares began trading on NASDAQ in the May of 2012, and currently has over a billion users worldwide. Last year Facebook generated 5.1 Billion dollars in revenue and joined the Fortune 500 companies at position 462. Facebook users are required to create a personal profile and add other users as "friends", to exchange messages with them. Users also get notified when their friends update their profile, add a new picture etc. To use Facebook for business, you need a Facebook page. A Facebook page (also known as a Fan Page) is used by businesses, non-profits, celebrities, and any other public figure. With a Page you get "fans" not "friends"! To effectively use Facebook for business, you should join other groups and individuals with common interests. It is possible to use Facebook as a marketing platform, and make huge sums of money. Once you establish a niche, connect with people with the same interest, and provide value to them, you can eventually present them with your business ideas and sell stuff, or recruit them into your MLM company.

It is imperative to read and obey all the guidelines and rules associated with Facebook, or face being penalized by the system. For example you can't email everyone, all the time, if you do you will be unable to email anyone for some time. If you send too many friend requests or spam other groups also you can get in trouble with Facebook. They have very tyrannical advertising rules as well, but you don't need to advertise if you just spend some time interacting with the right people, and approach them properly.

Having said that, and I know you don't want to get your business activity limited or shut down, I encourage you to get sometraining. I am always interested in learning more, specially in the areas that I am not familiar with, and I recommend some orientation on how to effectively use Facebook for business, before you attempt in doing so.
