How To Market Yourself To The World Using Facebook

Whenever most of us think of Facebook we tend to think of a social network for teenagers to get together, have pictures of them and their friends up, and tell the world what soda they’re drinking at the moment.... Blah Blah... 

Some tend to think of Facebook as a way if hanging out with your friends, without actually hanging out with your friends. I know I use Facebook for friends and family far away to say hi, get out my thoughts, and share a few memes with. 

But as a business entrepreneur and For professionals, it’s important to know that Facebook is also a very easy and genius way to market yourself into the world. Using this method of social media in a similar way to how you would use a blog is the key to getting yourself out there.

I have seen Facebook pages for almost every kind of Products services or thing. The key to creating a good Facebook page for marketing is not only to make sure your page is up to date and accurate, but to keep posting attractive and Useful Stuff or information on your Facebook page.  

What’s the point of all this when you already have a blog on your website? Facebook is different from a blog because people check their Facebook pages or Accounts almost constantly throughout the day, Some people don't even Log Out. Have you ever watched a teenager play with their phone? Teenagers and kids are constantly social networking. 

Not only do they look for cool memes to show off to their friends, but they’re telling their friends what they are doing, what they like, what they don’t like and who they are with and Many more stuff.

“Facebook is a continuous way to keep in contact with your friends, Family and partners.” What exactly does this mean for you as a business person? This means you have to get in with the cool Young Minds. The quickest way to market yourself is to make sure you have a Facebook page. There are two things you need for your page. 

The first is an actual Facebook page for your product and the second is a profile page for yourself. Your Facebook profile is the place people are going to start when they’re looking for you. In other words, almost everyone uses Facebook.

 I am definitely one of those Facebook people myself and not only to market my own Products and services, but  also to Read News, Updates and (here’s the most important part of it) like things. Liking things on Facebook is the most important part of this social network. It might seem like such a trivial thing, but when you like something EVERYONE else sees it and they might get interested. Here’s a scenario for you. Let’s say you are an avid Football Lover. It’s your favorite sport, it keeps you happy, and you can’t get enough of it. 

Now, let’s also say there’s a Football page on Facebook (which ofcourse there are so many Football pages) With Teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool,Barcelona, Juventus, Swansea, PSG, e.t.c. and you click “Like” on it. What happens next?

Your dear friend Mike sees that you liked the Football page and says to himself, “Wow, I didn’t know Jim liked watching Football Ball or that team, I’ve never seen him watch or talk about it, when was is it?” Mike then clicks on the Football page, reads it over, enjoys it immensely (as you knew he would) and then clicks “Like” on the Football Facebook page. Now, Mike’s friend Stephanie sees he liked the Football page and decides to see for herself what it’s all about. 

Do you see the string of events happening here? The Football page has just become liked by your friends and their friends and so many people are now watching or reading about Football or the page, you all get together and have a fun watching Football tournament. Words spreads quickly on Facebook like wild fire, which is why it is important that you should have a page for your product. 

Once you have established a Facebook Profile for yourself as a person, a profile where you can say who you are and what you like, a page where you can show people “I own this company or Business” Then you need to establish a page for your product and show off your products on that page.

The personal page is also one that allows you to blog without actually “blogging”. One of the most important things you can remember here is this: “People will see your blog when they go onto your website,but they’ll see your Facebook posts every time they go to their own Facebook profile through the News feeds.”  

As discussed earlier, they’ll go to their own profile page a lot. I can say, on average, many people visit their Facebook account profiles two or more times per day to update their status or check on their friends, e.t.c. 

Make sure you have a Facebook profile you log into and update at least once a day (keeping it  as clean and professional as possibles, but still fun and entertaining” as well as your professional page for your business, Services or products.
