Facebook is a great way to use the power of the Internet to connect with the people in your community.

There are more than 800 million people on Facebook. Facebook provides a huge network of people, people who want to talk to you. Most of your current customers are probably already active on Facebook. Having a business page, or fan page, on Facebook is essential to your online marketing success.

Social networking is all about making connections and establishing relationships. When you start a Facebook presence for your business it isn’t only about having a Facebook page. It’s important to be active and maintain your presence. You want your customers to see that there are real people manning the page and not some unemotional robot. Make regular updates that appeal to what your target audiences needs and wants, it will keep people coming back for more. An important note, keep your photos, videos, and information current and fresh.

A cool feature of Facebook is the ability to share links on your status. These links are then posted on all of your fans’ news feeds. You can share an article that you found interesting, any company news, special promotions, and events. If you have a blog you can post the title and link it back to your blog drawing traffic there. Plus links are great for SEO and will help your online presence.

On the other side, it is a good idea to make it easy for your customers to share information about you with their Facebook friends by adding “share” links within your own sites. Facebook brings your business together with your existing and potential clients.
