Web Training Wheels
teaching you how to market your business online
Small Business and Marketing on Facebook
In: social media
25 May 2010
Head over to Small Business CEO to read my guest post on “Facebook Strategy For Your Small Business.”
I discuss the reality of using Facebook to market your small business organically – which is that it’s difficult! Facebook’s primary concern is creating revenue through their Ads, so they deliberately make it challenging to organically promote your page to a new audience. I provide some recommendations for shifting the way we use Facebook for small biz marketing and I let you know where I believe Facebook fits into a small business strategy. Take a look and of course let me know what you think, and what your experiences with Facebook have been.
