So Facebook can mean results for your business? How exactly?

Hello everyone, Joseph here again and today I wanted to discuss what exactly Facebook could do for you and your marketing goals. Ok, here's the deal. Facebook has over 1 BILLION users, officially, even if that number were cut in half that's a lot of people. My experiences with facebook for generating leads are actually pretty successful. If done correctly I've seen nearly immediate responses from people interested in the great product I have to offer, and the opportunity it presents to build a respectable income:

The link to my site is above, but the fact remains that Facebook presents an avenue fit for exposing your ideas, opportunities and business to millions of people in a short amount of time. The only real issue is how does one correctly market on Facebook. This varies from person to person, usually I would post a picture that either captures people's attention or shows the power of my product, then I would write in a caption with a summary of what the picture is trying to say. I would then tag people in the initial tagging bar (usually people I have gained permission from, or who have shown interest in the opportunity on a previous day, but be careful not to tag your fellow team members if such a group applies to you, they may want to use a similar strategy and it does not help to tag each other, seeing that you're marketing to your partner's audience if you do that.) I would then stop notifications so people you have tagged in the post don't get annoyed by constant notifications from likes or comments. I try to avoid comments because of this very reason as well, basically stating to not comment but to message me for the information, however be mindful that not everyone chooses to read what you actually type, so make sure you pay attention to what's going on in the posts you make. Since you've stopped notifications you don't know if anyone commented negatively or even worse is trying to market their business through your posts. Next but most importantly, after you make the post, it seriously helps to promote it, it costs $6.99 to promote through Facebook and they accept either a major credit card, or I believe PayPal as well. This helps your post stay relevant for an extended period of time which is extremely helpful when generating strong leads, and many likes. The more people that like your post, the more that will see it, so make sure the first thing you ask people to do in your post is actually like your post/status. People like posts on Facebook just for the simple action of liking it sometimes, which gives the post more exposure, and increases your chances of hearing from genuinely interested people.

Once you've promoted it is important that you make sure notifications have been STOPPED. It is also very helpful to tag the actual picture, tag as many people as you can with the most friends, the more friends they have the more people will see it, so it really boils down to how consistent you are, you don't want to tag the same people every single time so it is advised that you add people to your Facebook every day, either by asking people to add you, or adding people you know. It's really a no-brainer once you get the hang of it. My last tip is to try and post around 11:30 am, since most people are going on their lunch break and will be hopping on their phones and seeing your posts at the top of their Facebook feed. This is incredible for restaurant owners because they could definitely gain a lot of people who are hungry and willing to try something new! Seeing your ad or post on Facebook with a delicious meal could make them haul butt to your restaurant to enjoy an amazing lunch, which will give you even more feedback because they will tell others who have seen the post about their experience, they may even comment on the post in support of your service!!!
