Grow Your Business with the Power of a Facebook Page

metropolisFB Grow Your Business with the Power of a Facebook Page

If you are not using Facebook for your business, you may be missing one of the best available tools for engaging with your current clients, generating website traffic, leveraging SEO opportunities and reaching out to potential customers.

I am asked all the time about “using Facebook for business”, so I thought I would share some of my own success with you, as well as what I see working for others.

At Train with Shane, we use workshops and seminars, corporate training, motivational speaking, a weekly radio broadcast, emails and monthly e-newsletters to engage our clients and bring them relevant information they can use on a regular, consistent basis.

Since discovering the power of Facebook Pages for our Metropolis Toolbox, we’ve been able to leverage our marketing in ways that are both cost effective and far-reaching.

Facebook – A Powerful Tool for Business
Our Facebook Page gives us the ability to:
•    Stream Blog posts right into our page
•    Promote our weekly radio broadcast
•    Add photos from events and other gatherings
•    Add video training materials
•    Conduct surveys, polls, and get a feel for our clients
•    Encourage others and have meaningful discussions on relevant business subjects
•    Offer promos and make announcements

The beauty of it is that all of this is FREE on one of the world’s highest-ranking social networking sites.

Using Facebook to Streamline Your Business Efforts
Facebook is a powerful tool that we use to disseminate timely news relevant to business trends, updating business skills, insights on social networking and sales, motivation and so much more. Anything added to our Facebook Page becomes part of the Facebook stream and is instantly available to subscribing fans in real time. This provides a fast and efficient way to communicate with fans.
Connect with the World
Individuals and businesses from all over the United States have connected to the Train with Shane Tool Box on Facebook. We advertise our Facebook page on our website, and in our monthly newsletter and email communications. Every time we send out a newsletter, we make new connections and gain fans to our Facebook page. These individuals have a direct interest in what we have to offer.
Learn to Engage Your Community
You can post links to surveys on your Facebook page and allow your readers to respond to those surveys. This can provide you with powerful insights into the needs and interests of our readers. Anything posted to your Facebook page can be seen by all of the other subscribers to that page. Can you see how this can spark discussions and connections?

Squeeze Every Ounce of Value from Your Newsletters
By adding links from your newsletters to your Facebook page, you can gain additional exposure and extend the life of your newsletter information as well. This can drive extra traffic to your website, your tutorials or any other business offerings. Everything can be interconnected through your Facebook page.

Making social media connections is a “must do” in today’s fast paced, virtual business world. Engage your community, make new friends, build your readership by delivering value.

Connect, connect, connect!
Give, give, give!
Listen, listen, listen!

And then, watch what happens!

PS – Here’s some great resources I’ve found to help you understand all of the concepts I’ve presented above:
