It is not necessary(and is in fact against the rules of Facebook) It makes sense to create a page from your ownpersonal profile because then you can invite those of your friends who may have an interest inyour online business. If they "like" your page then they will recommend it to their friends and so on.Manage Your ExpectationsSet realistic goals for your social media marketing. Dont expect to get thousands of "fans" withinyour first 30 days - it very rarely happens. Think about some realistic numbers such as a fewhundred to get momentum and then if you achieve more than that you will be very happy.Schedule Facebook TimeCultivating a Facebook presence doesnt need to be a full time JOB or something that takes uplots of precious time in your online marketing schedule. If you are just starting out then set asidesay an hour a day to begin with to work on your business page, post updates, share information ofvalue and generally communicate with your fans and through doing so gain even more fans toyour page.Improve your Facebook KnowledgeTake time in your "Facebook Marketing Schedule" to check out the pages of people you know inyour industry and whose pages you "like". See things that they have done and find out how youcan do the same. Facebook have an amazing resource of information in their Help Center and ontheir blog blog.facebook.com You might for instance find a great App that they are using and wantto install that App yourself - take networkedblogs for example which automatically allows your

blog content to be delivered to your Facebook fans.Post Interesting UpdatesUsing your "personal profile", post interesting updates which will encourage your "friends" to joinyour page. Posting questions is a great way of doing this especially if you are going to provide theanswers on your page. Keep these updates light-hearted and fun and a proportion of your friendswill jump over to "like" your page. Your friends, your community will also most likely comment andlike your status updates if they are interesting and this is just the sort of social proof you want.Respond to and Engage with comments on your PageIf someone has "liked" a post on your page or made a comment or asked a question make surethat you engage with them and answer them - preferably within 24 hours and pay attention to whatyour fans are saying!Dont SPAMThis is the big one. DO NOT, repeat DO NOT SPAM. Your friends and community will not like youfor it. There is so much of it going on and it just takes over the news feed so much so that peoplejust blank it out anyway. Stand above those who do this. If you have something to say that is aboutyour business make sure you say it in the right place (your page). Your fans and your friends willdefinitely like you for it.Use Facebook AdvertsWhen you page has a good number of fans and some great content then think about usingadvertising to get more fans to your page to learn more about your business. Because of the waythat Facebook advertising works it can be very targeted to those looking for what you have. If youneed to know how to do this it is best to seek out someone who has done it before to show youhow.Use your Mobile deviceDont forget that most smart phones can access Facebook through one of the Facebook Appswhich makes "checking in" to your page and posting updates, sharing photos and videos veryeasy. Dont forget to do this.Promote your Social Media LinksMake sure that it is easy for your website visitors and subscribers to find you. Have links to yourFacebook Page on your emails and use plugins on your website so that it is easy for visitors tofollow you and also to interact with you on your blog, sharing your content, leaving comments(social proof) and liking your website and/or content.Facebook is constantly changing and evolving. Recently the new Timelines were introduced topersonal profiles as well as the subscription button which has completely changed the way yourfriends and community can look at information - even going back to the day you created your

account! It will only be a matter of time before Timeline is introduced to fan pages which will bevery exciting for marketers who have established a community on their page already.Chris and Susan are internet entrepreneurs and mentors specialising in showing beginners how tocreate a sustainable business online leveraging their passion and the power of the internet.
