By Meagan Smith


You already know how big Facebook is in the social space, it's actually the #1 social networking site on the internet. With millions of people in the site everyday there is no doubt that you can use the massive popularity of Facebook to build a bigger targeted audience for your business.

The first thing you should do is create a business page, this will be the place for you to engage your customers by replying to their posts as much as possible. This means you've got to monitor your wall regularly. Reply to them, especially if it is someone who needs customer service or has a complaint. Keep your page creative and different from other pages. Adding great photos and unique color combinations really helps. Users on Facebook are attracted to these pages over plain ones.

Consider Facebook a type of content-sharing venue. It isn't just informal chit-chat, it can be a large content format. Treat it as a marketing medium. Post real blog posts to promote your posts from other media channels to your Facebook page. Traffic volume to Facebook pages tend to be quite high depending on what type of content you share.

There are many people who do Facebook advertising the wrong way, while others think that they need a big advertising budget to get started. The truth is you can get started with as little as $5 per day and slowly increase your budget to $10, $100 or more depending on what type of results you are generating from your advertising. When it comes to targeting Facebook is very flexible, they allow you to target individuals by age, sex, interests and anything you need to target the right visitor for your website.

Keep in mind that you should also focus on growing your Facebook page organically by sharing and posting content that people will like and share. You can also offer discounts and offer prizes to fans for sharing and inviting others to check out your page. There are many things you can do with Facebook but remember that taking action is the most important thing, don't be afraid to test the waters and see how you can use this giant social network to your advantage.
