Facebook Formula For Traffic To Your Blog

Facebook is not generally thought of as an internet traffic machine but in the business world, it definitely is!  Many marketers will tell you that it is fast becoming the most powerful marketing website in the history of the internet.

Even Google recently published that in their estimation, Facebook is their one and only competition.  Why?  Because of Facebook's data base. (More about that later.)  If you understand Facebook Marketing, you can generate a LOT of traffic to your blog.

Create A Business Page (FAN Page) On Facebook

Facebook Pages can be very targeted so that when you post a link to your blog on your page, it is more powerful than posting a link on your profile.  One of my Facebook Business Pages called Terrific Training has an app for several pages that make it work like an entire website:
  • the "Wall" which is your own little FB community page
  • the "Info" page, which is where you can blatantly post a mini-commercial about your business
  • the "Photos" page, a chance to create photo albums about you, your products and services
  • "FBML pages" where you can set up a lead capture page
  • the "Video" page where you can teach, coach, sharing tons of valuable content
  • and much more
Go to https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=175 as soon as you can and look through the material Facebook provides marketers.  Create your first Fan Page (business page) and then watch my little video to help you with your FBML app.  Enjoy!
