power promoting your business using facebook

Here's one way of getting friends, customers and your facebook network to power promote your business automatically.

Using a directory or recommendation service like grwps.com gives you a facbook connected page. This is extremely powerful because it automatically posts comments onto other peoples walls.

Here's how it works.
1. A visitor / fan / customer visits your facebook connected page on grwps.com
2. They post a comment
3. The comment and the link to your grwps.com page gets posted onto their wall and is seen typically by over 100 people (their friends)
4. Their friends visit your facebook connected page at grwps.com and when they make a comment, all their friends get the link on their walls.

The result? It looks like your initial commenter / customer is endorsing your product.

Here's an example product which has been commented on by 6 people

The 6 people have a total of 1713 friends. As a result of just my initial page and the 6 comments, 1713 people have had the link displayed on their facebook wall - as recommended by their friend. Much more powerful than an advert.

Now imagine if you have a product, service or business to promote. Do you know 6 people who would be willing to make a comment on your product or service? Do you know more than 6.

This gives you the ability to gain comments from facebook users and for them to post links promoting your site, services, products or business automatically.

This looks like they have recommended the your products to their friends.

Using Facebook to promote a product, service or business

Here's a selection of tips on how to promote your business using Facebook.
Mark Hopgood, we entrepreneur explains. If you want I can do all this for you.

Your personal presence
Make sure you actually have a facebook account - this will be the 'you' or 'person'.
Create a personal profile. If you want, you can create a secondary profile for business. I do. Some of you know me as Mark N Hopgood, some as Bunny Tick.

Create 2 facebook groups
Why 2? Well you want 1 for the actual product, service or business and one for admin.
Having the admin group can be useful for resellers, affiliates.

Create a facebook connected web page
Here's where the fun begins. Using a directory or recommendation service like grwps.com gives you a facbook connected page. This is extremely powerful because it automatically posts comments onto other peoples walls.

Here's how it works.
1. A visitor / fan / customer visits your facebook connected page on grwps.com
