So, here goes; 5 marketing steps to building your home based business on Facebook...
Decide on your target market
Don't make the mistake of trying to hit the 5,000 friend limit in record time by simply adding anyone and everyone to your home based business marketing hit list. If you are building a home based business then work out who your target market is, ask yourself who is looking for a business to start from home, who might actually be interested in what you have to say and then send that person a friend request which will help to introduce you to your potential CarbonCopyPro customer in the right way.
Join Groups
Find groups which fit the interests of your home based business model. If it's a small business you're building then your potential business partners will most likely be in groups about internet marketing, networking,network marketing, mlm or any other entreprenuerial type of group.
Facebook has literally thousands of groups with no upper limit on membership size, so you should find just what you are searching for without too much difficulty. If you don't know how to search for groups on Facebook then simply enter your chosen keyword or search term into the small box on the top right of your home and profile page, click on the search symbol and Facebook will generate an extensive list of options to meet your particular search term. Next, hit the left hand side of your results to narrow the search down to groups,pages,people or posts and this will provide a more targeted list of search results to work with.
Be sociable
Easily said, but often forgotten. Facebook is a social networking platform where people go to socialize, so don't spoil the party, don't be annoying and show some good manners, entertainment and interraction and your home based business ambitions will go a long way. If you're building a home based business business, take the time to get to know people before hitting them with your business proposal.
Nobody wants to be put under pressure to start a business from home, so play fair, allow people to see the real you and let them make up their own mind if your home based business is what they are looking for or not. An easy way to do this is to create a simple link from your profile page to your website or whatever home business you are involved with and a call to action above the link to suggest to people who view your page to take a look at your business opportunity. Remember, this is marketing and people don't want to be sold, so provide value, put together a welcoming profile page and let them make up their own mind about whether or not to join you in your opportunity and your business will start to grow.
Add value
People who chose to join you in your home business do so because they have chosen you as much as the business model itself. Don't get me wrong, they need to feel confident that the business will work for them, but they equally want reassurance that you have what it takes to add some value to the overall deal. After all, it's you they will be working with. So, provide value in the form of posts, notes and comments that you make in groups, on people's walls and when putting together your own Facebook note.
If you have a good understanding about a specific area of marketing then write about it and share it on Facebook, adding a few people who will hopefully enjoy your note, add a comment to it and maybe even share it themselves, so that their own contacts and Facebook friends will see it. This is simple but can be very powerful if the note is well written and well targeted.
Don't know what to write about or where to get started? Okay, whatever business you are building from home, you will need to develop certain marketing skills, so start with one and become an expert, read a few articles on that topic, watch a selection of videos and then write your own note with your own take on the topic. Don't plagerize though or people will see straight through you.
Build Pages
Pages have become a great way to brand your home based business on Facebook, so take the time to review a few pages on Facebook to see which have managed to gather a following and which have not. There is more to building a presence on Facebook than simply throwing up a Facebook page - it's all about marketing remember, people don't want to feel sold, they want to believe they are part of the whole sales process and a Facebook page that works will take this into account by asking questions, interracting with its audience and offering useful insights.
Facebook is a great way to build your home based business and a useful weapon in the overall internet marketing war and one which is fast becoming more powerful than Google in your armoury. So, if you want to start a home based business in 2010 and are wondering where to start to grow your business online then Facebook should be right at the top of your internet marketing address book.
