Top 4 Reasons to Use Facebook!
Facebook is the fasting growing social media site on the web today
. According to Facebook they currently have in excess of Four Hundred (400) million active users with over 50% of those users logging into their accounts in any given day. For many people the question isn't necessarily do I want to join Facebook but what do I do when I join?
1. Facebook can be fun! There is nothing wrong with having fun on Facebook. You can become a farmer by using some of the most popular applications on Facebook - "Farm Town" and "Farmville". There was a recent survey that said that people who farm live longer lives. They probably meant in the real dirt but for some people this can be very relaxing substitute. You can collect hearts from the application "iHeart". You can take quizzes like the personality quiz from "What's Your Personality Type". Just remember that not everyone of your friends wants to see that you are farming or taking a quiz. It is not a requirement to post this information to your feed. When it comes to the question that says "post to your profile or skip" you can simply skip it. Remember - most people work hard and to have a little balance there is nothing wrong with playing hard as well. A great idea is to give yourself a time limit though or you spend a lot of time rearranging your farm.
2. Your connection with friends and family can be quite different. Facebook is an excellent way to catch up with family and friends that may not live close to you or maybe you have lost touch with. Think about it - you have those family members that you only see at Christmas parties, weddings and funerals. We all do but Facebook is the great equalizer. I have a lot more interaction with family members that live out of state and I hate to admit with some that live less than 5 miles from me. So how do you connect?
Read all the updates on your feed. Make a point to click the like button on the ones that you like and comment on the ones that you have a comment for.
Check your inbox. Some of them prefer to talk privately through the inbox.
Check your notifications. At the top left side of the Facebook screen you will see a globe with a number when you have notifications. It tells you if someone has commented on something you commented on or liked. Then you can click on that to continue the conversation. It actually notifies you of anything that happens in Facebook that has to do with you. For example, when your friends put a picture on their site and tag you in the picture it will tell you and you can go to their site to see it.
Make a point to click on peoples names in your list to go to their wall to see what they have been up to. Not everything they do shows up in your feed and it is great to see what they are interested in etc. You can also look at their photos and info.
3. Facebook is a great tool for connecting with other like-minded people. Facebook is a great way to meet and get to know other people who share your interest and hobbies. You can meet them through groups and pages on Facebook, through tele-seminars and you can be introduced to people by your other friends. If you are a blog reader a lot of times you will see the "Connect on Facebook" buttons. You can met some truly wonderful people and connect with them through comments and "likes" on their updates and supporting their fan pages and groups. Be a sharer and tell your friends about other interesting people.
4. Use Facebook to promote your business. Wow! The opportunities are endless for promoting yourself or your business on Facebook. You need to know that Facebook has lots of rules about this and they are very protective of their members - which is an awesome thing. That is probably the reason that this does work so well. If they think you are spamming their members at all they will kick you off - and I like that.
The best promotion method for social media is what I call Relationship (or Educational) Marketing. People only buy from those they trust so to promote to these people you must nurture the relationship. Think about this - Are you more likely to buy something from someone who takes the time to provide value to your life and has earned your trust or someone who just keeps pushing and pushing and pushing you? Promotion in the world of social media is changing the way people think - it is truly about the relationship!
Facebook has created Fan Pages (Business Pages) for businesses to use to promote their products and services. It is a great way to get your vision across to your friends and fans. You can have a direct relationship with people who are interested in you and your product. If you don't deliver value into their life they can easily "unlike" your fan page. That leaves the ball in your court to provide the type of information that makes people think, laugh, smile and love. Make a point to be a fan of many pages and look at those that are successful to see how they are doing things. Why reinvent the wheel - if it works just roll with it.
So now you know how to FACEBOOK! Use it to bring your family closer together, to have some relaxing fun and to promote your business. Remember that it is a great tool to use to add value to other peoples lives!
