\"\" <\/a>If you use social media you might be under the <\/strong> misunderstanding that you can\u2019t really do much \u201cbusiness\u201d on Facebook.\u00a0 That just means you haven\u2019t been exposed to the now famous fan <\/em> <\/strong> page.<\/p>\n

You are correct in thinking that Facebook has rules about not selling on your <\/strong> main profile page, but all the rules change when we start talking about your fan page.\u00a0 You might also hear these pages referred to as business pages, or a few other terms, but now, they\u2019re all typically just referred to as fan pages <\/em> <\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So, the big advantage of having a fan page is that you can do a lot of things you <\/strong> aren\u2019t allowed to do on your profile page.\u00a0 First, you can actually sell your products and services on your fan page if you chose to do so and Facebook is 100% perfectly ok with you doing it.\u00a0 (Don\u2019t try this on your profile page; you will get shut down).<\/p>\n

Another big advantage of having a fan <\/strong>page is that the search engines like Facebook fan pages and people may, in fact, be able to find you through a search engine, and join your fan page.\u00a0 Using good key words and key words phrases in your posts and in the other information you have on your fan page will also help the search engines.<\/p>\n

<\/strong> You also have the ability to have an opt-in box on your fan page, so people can <\/strong> opt-in to your free offer and then get on your main list where you now have the ability to market to them in additional ways besides just on Facebook, or the other your other social media platforms you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n

Another neat thing about fan pages is that you can actually set pages other than <\/strong> the main info page as the \u201chome page\u201d of your fan page.\u00a0 So, instead of potential followers just ending up on your main wall page of your fan page, you can program your fan page to take them to an introduction page, or an opt-in page \u2013 which is what we recommend you do.\u00a0 Another good way to use this feature is if you have a special event or something going on that you\u2019re promoting this would be a good place to do that as well.<\/p>\n

So, how does all that translate into dollars for you? <\/em> <\/strong> By being <\/strong> \"\" <\/a> <\/strong> able to sell directly on your fan page, that <\/strong> brings in money (that one was more obvious than some of the other ways). The use of opt-in boxes and the key word density issue really now comes down to the key to making money with any social media and that\u2019s that because you have moved them from social media to your main list, you have the ability to market to them via email, direct mail, and whatever other media you might be using.\u00a0 And, if you integrate that marketing with your social media posts, the effects you have on your clients and prospects is expanded, increasing the chance of them spending money with you is.<\/p>\n

As a final reminder, it\u2019s important for you to remember that one is always the <\/strong> worst number in business and marketing so never use only one media in your business. Things change rapidly in today\u2019s world and when those changes happen, you don\u2019t want to be caught unprepared.\u00a0 (If you don\u2019t think this applies to your business, think about what happened to people who only used fax or the phone as the way they sold and prospected when those rules changed).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
