subject: How To Get My Business On Facebook [print this page] Social media is becoming the buzz word of the decade, with many businesses asking the question, how to get my business on Facebook? It seems fairly easy on the surface, just make an account for your business and start posting, but will that really produce any real results for your business. A lot of businesses are trying this approach, and soon finding out they are just spending time on Facebook, without generating any real business.
The biggest mistake people make when wondering how to get my business on Facebook, is they draw upon the experience they have with their personal profile on Facebook. Most people have a personal profile, and interact on it daily. This is where most businesses go wrong though, because a business page on Facebook works very different than a personal profile. The other thing that people have to understand, is the mindset of the people that are on Facebook. They are not there to shop, so marketing on Facebook must be done in an entirely different way, than it is done in most other Internet marketing situations.
Facebook has over 500 million users, and is used by 1 out of every 13 people in the world. Out of these 500 million users, at least half of them visit Facebook every single day. Almost half of all people that are in the 18 34 year old range will log into Facebook when they wake up in the morning, and 28% of them also check their Facebook page right before they go to bed.
Facebook users that are in the 35+ age range are growing at a steady pace. In fact about 30% of the Facebook users are in the 35+ age range. Still the fastest growing demographic on Facebook is the 18 24 year old range, which is growing at a rate of approximately 74% every year.
When looking at the Internet users in the United States, there are about 72% that use Facebook. Still, the major part of the Facebook user base lives outside the United States, with about 70% of the user base being from other countries.
This is where it gets interesting, with about 700 billion minutes being spent on Facebook every single month. Almost half of all the Facebook users, access Facebook using their smartphone or other mobile device. Every 20 minutes spent on Facebook, people accept 2 million friend requests, send about 3 million messages, and share over a million links.
