Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners



Introduction

Marketing your business could very well be the most essential thing you can do to keep
your doors open. There are only two ways a business survives, bring in new customers
to your business, or make money on the customers it already has. In this report, we
are going to show you how a Facebook Fanpage, or Official Business Page, can help
you with both.

As a fellow business owner, you already know that marketing is important for business
growth and in today's climate that's especially true.

More and more, your prospects are turning to social networking websites like Facebook
to locate businesses in their own backyard, or to ask their “Facebook Friends” for
product and service recommendations.

When it comes to marketing and communicating with your customers, the worldwide
popularity of Facebook has had a direct impact on how you should market your
business. The benefits of reaching people all over the world to share your business
with has caused many businesses to ride the social networking wave and get their
business on the hottest social networking site in the world, Facebook.

When Facebook was originally created, the motives for this social networking site were
not geared toward helping small business owners, but with its evolvement of linking its
members through fanpages, photos, links, etc., there are many ways in which your
business can benefit by having a Facebook fanpage, or what they are calling an “Official
Business Page.”

The opportunity for your business to take advantage of the low cost to get a fanpage
created to promote your brand or product is one of the many advantages of using a
Facebook Fanpage, but beware, prices are rising everyday as this is becoming a very
hot marketing tactic.

The ability to get really creative with your fanpage by using a variety of applications is a
very popular trend. Our company wants you to take advantage of every opportunity to
get people talking about your business. A great way to do this is by adding coupons,
sweepstakes, interactive videos, polls, etc.

We also would like to introduce you to Facebook advertising, a low cost way to get
immediate traffic to your fanpage today. We can help you narrow down your
advertising to the appropriate demographics and tracking numbers so you know exactly
where your marketing dollars are going.

In this report, I will cover how you can easily have your business in front of millions of
people in no time at all. How easy it is to get a fanpage created for you that will get
people involved. What businesses are using fanpages? How you can get additional
traffic to your fanpage? Plus much, much, more.

The creators of Facebook understand what people want and need in a social network
and they are continually updating and adjusting Facebook’s many user functions and
constantly adding fun touches and great new ways to connect with others and enhance
the Facebook experience. For the millions of Facebook users who log on each day,
Facebook is a part of their daily routine, and catching up with friends on the other side
of the globe in an instant is just a normal part of their everyday lives. Facebook has
revolutionized how people network, communicate and interact, and life on and offline
will never be the same.




As you can see in the graph above (provided by Compete.com) Facebook is getting
more than 132 million unique visitors per month and their traffic has grown by more
than 45% in the last year alone.

According to Facebook's statistics, they have reached over 500 million active users.

      50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day
      Average user has 130 friends
      People spend over 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook

fanpages and the resounding answer is YES!

"Facebook Fanpages" are used for and why it's something you should care about.

Is Facebook Good for Your Business?
If the numbers above are not yet enough to give you an answer for this question, think
about this…

With Facebook you can:

   1. Gain exposure for your business that may lead to new clients or projects;

   2. Increase the credibility of your business through Facebook users’
      recommendations;

   3. Connect with the people in your network;

   4. Re-connect with business contacts you’ve lost touch with; and

   5. Meet new people and expand your business network.

And with more than 500 million members (which is still growing ad a very rapid pace),
Facebook is definitely good for business. That is, if you do things correctly (we’ll get
back to that later).

In addition to what is already mentioned above, what makes Facebook great for
business is that:

      It is popular with all age groups (that is except for people below the age of 13
       who generally don’t have any purchasing powers anyway);

      Facebook pages appear on search engines and are accessible to everyone (even
       people who are not Facebook members);

      Facebook provides you with a two-way communication channel between you and
       your customers and prospects;

      It is very easy to share stuff on Facebook and, because of that, things can
       spread rapidly on Facebook; and

Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners


      Facebook has a ton of components/features that are very well suited for
       marketing.


Ways Facebook Can Help Your Business
Groups

A Facebook group is where you create a community around a specific topic/interest or
cause. In other words, this is where people connect and communicate with other
Facebook users who share the same interest with them. The nice thing about groups is
that (as admin of a group) you can send emails to the members of your group (i.e.,
targeted audience). This makes groups a very powerful and highly effective marketing
tool. Below is an example of what a Facebook group looks like.




However, you must note that groups are built around a group of people rather than
your business or your brand. So, instead of using a group to promote your
business/brand, use a group to create awareness about topics related to your niche.

The only limitation of groups is that, unlike “Pages”, groups are not visible to people
who are not signed in to Facebook.

Pages

Facebook “Pages” were created to enable business owners to create a Facebook profile
for their business (yes, very much like your personal profile). As a matter of fact, the
earliest version of the code that made up a Facebook “Page” was almost exactly the
same as the code that generated user profile pages.

Just like your personal profile, Pages give your business/brand an identity on Facebook.
And just like on your personal profile, you can store photos, videos, information about
your company, and custom applications on your Page.




Unlike personal Facebook accounts, however, which have a 5,000 person cap, Pages
have no “liker” cap. A “liker” (formerly known as a “fan”) is a person who has opted in
to receiving updates from a particular page (very much like the friends you have on
your personal account).

When a person “likes” a page, all his/her friends will see it on their feed. This exposes
the page to more people and could lead to more “likers”.




          This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au
    10
Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners


All activities on a Page get posted back to your Page’s feed for all your friends to see.
Additionally, all posts made by Page admins also appear on all the Page’s “likers” feed.

Applications

Called "apps" for short, Facebook applications are mini programs that run within the
Facebook environment and enhance the users' social networking experience. If you're
familiar with plugins, like the ones that you install on web browsers to view a web page
correctly (e.g., Flash, Quicktime, JavaScript), apps are just like that.

Applications enable you to say or promote anything you want about your business in a
unique and highly engaging manner.

Below is an example of a Facebook app.




Creating full blown applications requires significant programming knowledge and skills,
as well as a server on which to house and run your application. However, Facebook also
allows non-programmers to create simple applications using (quite ironically) other
apps. These applications generally require no programming knowledge to use. With just
a bit of imagination, you'll be able create and launch an application in a matter of
minutes.

Advertising

Facebook’s advertising engine enables advertisers to specify a specific demographic
target, see how many people that demographic will hit, and advertise to that
demographic.




Depending on the budget, Facebook offers various advertising spots/spaces through out
the site which are generally charged in cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-thousand (CPM)
basis.

When you first post your ad, you will be required to purchase credits for you to use on
your ads. Consider this as a pre-paid advertising program. Your ad will run for as long
as you have credits in your account. That goes without saying that you need to
replenish your credits to keep your ad(s) running.

In keeping track of your ads' performance, Facebook has what is referred to as
“Facebook Insights” which can help you improve your ads (if needed).

Be careful in choosing as some categories do not work with Facebook ads.

Among the things that are not allowed in social ads are:

   1) masked or redirect links
   2) misleading ads
   3) promotion of products such as ringtones, software downloads, alcohol, and
         This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au

Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners


       tobacco. Read the Facebook advertising guidelines for more details.

Another word of caution... Facebook ads, if not used properly, can easily burn through
your wallet. For that, it is advisable that one must obtain enough knowledge and
experience in PPC programs prior to running ads on Facebook.

Also, keep in mind that Facebook doesn't like affiliate links. For this, you must create a
web site or blog which you can use as a landing page for your advertisements.

You can also use Facebook ads in marketing your group if you think that it will benefit
you more.

Facebook Connect

Facebook Connect enables your website to easily integrate with Facebook. Think of it as
a web ID system similar to OpenID. But aside from simplifying the site registration
process, Facebook Connect also allows website owners to extend some social
networking features onto their site, thus making it easier to share content through
Facebook.

Tips on Using Facebook Pages
Name your page carefully

You are only allowed to have 75 characters for your Page’s name (including spaces),
and you will not be allowed to change your Page’s name once you’ve already got 100
“likers”. So choose your name wisely. Make sure it’s a name that you like and a name
that you will have no trouble being stuck with forever.

Only use an actual company name if:

   1) you own the company;
   2) your company allows you to; and
   3) you know that you will never leave that company.

Only include your name if you’re promoting it as a brand. And when you do, include
some descriptive words that will tell people who you are or what it is that you do.

Lastly, considering that Facebook Pages are accessible by and through search engines,
include important keywords (words related to your business/industry) in your Page’s
name whenever possible.

Promote your page in as many places as (ethically) possible

Promote it on your site, bookmark it on social bookmarking sites, put your Page’s link
on your business cards and other printed matters.

Make your Page unique

Don’t settle for what Facebook gives you by default. Make your Page stand out. Think
creatively about how you can add value to Facebook users’ experience when they visit
your Page. Take time to think about how to design your page in such a way that it will
not only catch people’s attention but will also get people to “like” it.

Do not make your Wall the landing spot

Never let new users land on your Wall. The Wall doesn’t really tell anything about your
brand, and it won’t have much impact on new visitors.

Tips on Facebook Promotion
Do not set up a personal profile or a Facebook Group to promote your brand.
Use a Page instead. As mentioned earlier, Groups are best left to causes and topics
related to your niche (e.g., Say No to Fur). And personal profiles? Well, they’re for
people, not businesses and brands.

Allow users to post or comment on your Page. Keep in mind that being “social” is
all about interaction, conversation, and dialogue. So give your “likers” a voice.

Do not leave your page stagnant for very long. Remember, the more you use
your page and update it, the more chances you have of tapping into the viral nature of
Facebook. The key is to be consistent and interesting with two to four posts a week. If
you can’t do it on your own, hire someone to do it for you.

Make sure to include your business information or link on your page. Don’t
make the mistake of using your Facebook page as a website because its not and it’s not
yours, it’s Facebook’s. Facebook can take it down anytime and for whatever reason it
may have. So, if you have a website, make sure to include your site’s link on your
Facebook page. If not, make sure to let people know where to find you and how to
contact you.

Keep in mind that social media pages are public. Always be professional in
everything you do and say on your Facebook page because your brand is always out on
the web and reflects on you and your business.

Do not make your posts sound like an ad. Always keep in mind that people
generally hate being sold to. So, instead of trying to sell, try to inform and educate.
Share valuable information.

Do not post promotional messages/materials on other people’s wall. Just think
about this… how would you like it if someone comes along and sticks a poster up on
your front door? Keep your promotions on your own wall. If you’d like to get extra
exposure, ask your friends/”likers” politely to help you promote by reposting/sharing
your promotion on their wall.

Always make it a point to thank people for “liking” your Page and posts. This
small gesture can do wonders in spreading goodwill about your page and brand.

Engage with your “likers”. When someone comments on your page, comment back,
even if it is to merely thank them for commenting. Answer their questions. Respond to
their complaints. Encourage your followers to interact with you. This tells your
followers/”likers” that there is a real person on the other end and that you care.

What Exactly are Facebook Fanpages?
According to the Facebook Pages Manual, Facebook decided to add the functionality of
setting up fanpages so that business owners, organizations, bands, and celebrities could
keep in close relationships with their fans, clients, and customers.

Having a Facebook fanpage gives you the capability of adding video, graphics, email
auto responders to start building a list, adding coupons, selling gift cards, etc. You can
be very creative with Facebook fanpages, just like you can with your website. So you
might be thinking “So what is the big deal, I do all those things on my website already.”
Although you might have all of these things on your website already, getting your
business more exposure on the worlds largest Social Network should also be part of
your marketing strategy.

Here is a sample fanpage that is selling giftcards:

What Businesses are currently Using Fanpages?
Some people will tell you that Facebook Ads don’t work for business
purposes, but that’s simply not so. It should speak volumes and give you a
big, fat clue about its potential when you realize that major companies are
taking full advantage of Facebook Ads, in creative ways.

For example, according to Facebook’s own Marketing Solutions page…

Honda recently used Facebook Ads to keep consumers updated (and
 
do serious damage control) after its recent spate of shocking recalls.

Budweiser encouraged social interactivity with its customers when it
 
invited them to select which commercials to show during televised
sports games.

Guitar Hero became the first online video game to reach 1,000,000
 
fans on Facebook

Even Coca-Cola jumped on the bandwagon, selling “virtual bottles of coke”
and promising to donate $1.00 for every virtual bottle sent to their favorite
cause.

These 4 examples alone show you the sort of creativity you can employ (and
flexibility you can take advantage of) when you mix a Facebook Fanpage and a
Facebook Advertising campaign!

The graphic below shows you a portion of the custom "Fanpage" used by the
Toyota company.

Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners




If you already have a fanpage for your business, you'll notice that this one has a
number of features not found in the default layout.

Facebook allows businesses to customize their fanpages in a number of ways
and doing so is a great idea!

You can add custom graphics to build your brand, videos that excite your visitors
and deliver your message in a fresh, new way or even add the ability to capture
email leads direct from your fanpage!

As Facebook is now getting as much (and in some cases more) internet traffic to
its site, there has never been a better time to harness the power of Facebook!

You Want to Attract “Fansumers”
If you’ve been wondering what a “fansumer” is, it’s yet another social
phenomenon you can use to your advantage. According to Forrester Research, a
“fansumer” is simply a consumer who has “become a fan” of a brand on Facebook.

This brings us back to yet another of Facebook Ads’ biggest advantage… interactivity.

It’s a proven maxim: Get people to engage as a participant, rather than as
a spectator, and their stake in what they’re engaging in becomes personal
and more positive. Use an app or a product and click the little “become a
fan” text link on your Facebook page, and you are not only contributing to
its statistical popularity, but personally endorsing it!


Why Profile Pages Can Be Your Best Friend
The main reason you can target so specifically, in spite of Facebook itself have a broad,
generic demographic, can be attributed to profile pages.

Think   about it: When you filled out your profile page, you were prompted to share
your:
       Hobbies and interests
       Career and work information
       School, college or university
       Tastes in music, books and movies
       Personal and contact information (date of birth, marital status, etc.)
       City and state



           This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au
    19
Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners


And as much extra information as you chose to share. Among the things you share you
can bet people can find great long-tailed keywords! These are what you should use
when creating your Facebook Ads – targeted specifically to your ideal customer, of
course.

Use your keyword in your headline at the very least – and again in the text (always
providing it feels totally natural: Remember, Facebook puts “social” before “SEO”).




Two Ways to Get a Fanpage Created

There are two ways in which you can get a fanpage created, you can hire a professional
company like ours to take of it for you, or you can attempt to do it yourself. The rest of

Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners



Let’s walk through these marketing options one by one.

Advertise on Facebook

Advertising on Facebook allows you to create targeted advertisements to drive traffic to
your Facebook page.
Start by creating a compelling advertisement with an attention catching image.




Then set your demographic or keyword targeting and run your ad. You can target by
age, location, interests, affiliations (i.e. College they went to,) gender and a lot more.

Finally, set your bid structure and budget and let your ad run.




Your Facebook page will be shown to thousands of people. If you targeted your ad well,
a good number of them will become fans of your page.

Tell Your Fans

If you have a pre-existing email list or have been in business a while, you can leverage
that goodwill using the tell your fans method.

There are two ways to use this method: By importing your contacts from an email client
or autoresponder, or you can just import your email contacts directly from an online
address book.




Method #1 supports many formats, including mainstream email clients like Microsoft
Outlook or Thunderbird. It also supports autoresponder exports like Constant Contact or
Aweber.

The latter method will log into your email for you, download your address book of
people who you’ve sent emails to and import it into Facebook.
Once Facebook has your email list, it’ll invite the fans and contacts of your choice to like
your Facebook page.

Send an Update

Once you have a number of followers, you can contact them en mass by using the
“Send an Update” feature. This is great for both user interaction and as a marketing
strategy.

Just click “Send an Update” to message your fans.




These are Facebook’s built-in marketing features. Using them, you can market your
page throughout Facebook using ads, invite existing fans of your business, put badges
and like boxes on your site, market offline with aliases and message all your Facebook
fans with updates.

So How Else Do I Promote my Fanpage?
There are a few ways that you can promote your fanpage, using the Facebook
advertising platform is the best way to promote. I will cover in detail how the paid
advertising platform can get you traffic, I will also give you other FREE ideas you can
use to get traffic to your fanpage.

Let’s begin with Facebook Pay Per Click….




You’ve seen them yourself, most likely… those ads running down the right-hand side of
your Facebook pages, most of them about interests you particularly enjoy.

You are not seeing the same ads as everyone else accessing Facebook at that moment.
These ones are specifically targeted to data Facebook has gleaned from your
preferences and other sources. Facebook ads are simple but powerful. Each one
consists of a title, text block and graphic or photo of your choice – all within a 110px X
80px “box”, to fit that vertical, right hand Facebook sidebar.

If you think of them as a cross between a Twitter tweet and a banner ad, you’ve just
about got the picture!



And yes – they absolutely can advertise your:
    Product
    Services
    Contest
    Cause

Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners


      Links
      Photos
      Videos
      Business USP
      Business Event

Facebook’s biggest benefit is its most obvious. It operates through social networking
and trending rather than pure SEO – the hottest trend of this brand new decade. It
allows readers to see your ads on their mobile phones – and mobile devices
now outnumber personal computers, 4 to 1!

If you are using Facebook Advertising to promote your fanpage, you will find that
the traffic you are buying is much cheaper than Google Adwords. Adwords can
be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing, Facebook advertising your
fanpage can be a great first start if you are new to Pay Per Click marketing.
But whether you use Adwords (SEO based) or Facebook ads (social networking based),
Facebook ads nowadays are a “must” – particularly with the not-so-subtle switch over
to mobile devices! But it’s great for beginning marketers because at the moment, it’s
significantly less expensive to advertise on Facebook than with PPC!

Graphics Capability – It’s other biggest benefit is that you can introduce a graphic
element or photo into what is basically just a small text ad! Since Facebook is “tuned”
to graphic elements, and interest has been shown to peak when graphics are displayed,
it wins hands-down over AdWords banner ads.

Text Capability – You have 75 characters to say what you want to say in Google
AdWords (that’s less than half a tweet!) Facebook ads not only allows you a 25-
character headline, but 135 words of body text, too. (That’s over double Google
AdWords’ capacity – but note; spaces count.)

Understanding Facebook Insights
Facebook Insights is Facebook’s analytics for Facebook pages. Using Insights, you can
see how many people are viewing your page, liking your page, commenting on your
page and more.

You can separate your data by age, geography and gender. This information can come
in handy both for Facebook Ads as well as advertising in other areas of your business.
Here’s how to access and understand Facebook insights.

Accessing Facebook Insights

Click on the “Edit Info” button at the top of the page under the “Like” button.

Click on Insights to access your page’s insights.




Set the Date Range

You can view your stats by week, by month or specific date ranges. To set a specific
date range, just click the drop down arrow on the right and choose your date range.

glance: Your user overview and interactions overview
Your user overview looks like this:

Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners




Here’s what each stat means:
New Likes – How many likes have you gotten from people who haven’t liked your page
before?
Lifetime Likes – How many likes has your page gotten, total?
Active Users – How many active users have you gotten in the time period you specified?
Below the numerical stats is a graphical representation of your user activity, charted in
graph form.
Below the user data is the Interactions data. Here’s what it looks like.




Post views – How many people have looked at your posts in the specified period of
time?
Post Feedback – How many people have either liked or commented on your posts in the
specified period of time?
Again, below the numerical data is a graph showing the data in visual form.

Along the top will be the same user data that you saw on the overview screen.
Underneath it is much more detailed user data.
It starts first with a detailed breakdown of your active users by day, then your likes by
day.




The first graph shows your unique page views, the number of people who viewed a
post, number of people who liked a post, number of people who commented on a post
and number of people who wrote a wall post.

The second graph shows the number of likes you got each day. On the right hand side
it breaks down the different like sources – Meaning where on Facebook people saw
your page and clicked Like.

When you scroll down, Demographics is the next category.




          This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au

and what their primary language is.

people who saw your page while they were logged in.

Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners




Along the top is the number of post views you got. Next to it is the number of feedback
you got, which is likes and comments combined.

who left feedback.

This will tell you information about how many people are posting on your wall, hosting
discussions, uploading videos and mentioning your page in their posts.

Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners


These three screens – The Page Overview, Users and Interactions – Are the three
screens you need to understand Facebook insights. Once you understand each of these
data types, you’ll be able to find out virtually anything you need to know about your
users and your users’ behavior.


Manage Admins for Your Facebook Page
Running a Facebook page often involves having multiple administrators rather than just
running it on your own. These administrators can be fans you know personally, leaders
in the community, executives in your company or employees who specialize in customer
relations.

Assigning other admins to your page will free up your time to run other aspects of your
business while giving someone else the reigns to manage your Facebook page. Make
sure that whoever is managing your Facebook page shares the same vision and goals
regarding how customers should be treated and your brand image.

Step 1: Access the Edit interface

Click “Edit Info” at the top of the page under the “Like” button.


Step 2: Click Manage Admins

On the left hand side of your page options is the manage admins tab. Click the tab to
continue.




Step 3: Type in a New Admin’s Name




          This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au
    39
Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners




Type in the name of the admin you want to add. If you want to add more than one
admin, click “Add another admin” and type their name in too. As you type in the name,
Facebook will search for that name in your current friends and try to auto-complete it
for you.

Keep in mind that anyone added as an admin will have unlimited access to the page.
They can add posts and videos as the page rather than as themselves. They can edit
the info and change the profile photo.

There are no different levels of access with Facebook page admins, so make sure you
have absolute trust with whoever you grant admin privileges.

Step 4: Removing Admins

If you want to remove an admin, click the “Remove” button next to any administrator.




Now you know how to add and remove administrators for your Facebook page. Having
a great admin team can make managing a page much easier. Make sure each and
every admin is on the same page about what everyone’s responsible for and the kind of
brand you’re trying to cultivate.

  • 4. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners Introduction Marketing your business could very well be the most essential thing you can do to keep your doors open. There are only two ways a business survives, bring in new customers to your business, or make money on the customers it already has. In this report, we are going to show you how a Facebook Fanpage, or Official Business Page, can help you with both. As a fellow business owner, you already know that marketing is important for business growth and in today's climate that's especially true. More and more, your prospects are turning to social networking websites like Facebook to locate businesses in their own backyard, or to ask their “Facebook Friends” for product and service recommendations. When it comes to marketing and communicating with your customers, the worldwide popularity of Facebook has had a direct impact on how you should market your business. The benefits of reaching people all over the world to share your business with has caused many businesses to ride the social networking wave and get their business on the hottest social networking site in the world, Facebook. When Facebook was originally created, the motives for this social networking site were not geared toward helping small business owners, but with its evolvement of linking its members through fanpages, photos, links, etc., there are many ways in which your business can benefit by having a Facebook fanpage, or what they are calling an “Official Business Page.” The opportunity for your business to take advantage of the low cost to get a fanpage created to promote your brand or product is one of the many advantages of using a Facebook Fanpage, but beware, prices are rising everyday as this is becoming a very hot marketing tactic. The ability to get really creative with your fanpage by using a variety of applications is a very popular trend. Our company wants you to take advantage of every opportunity to get people talking about your business. A great way to do this is by adding coupons, sweepstakes, interactive videos, polls, etc. We also would like to introduce you to Facebook advertising, a low cost way to get immediate traffic to your fanpage today. We can help you narrow down your advertising to the appropriate demographics and tracking numbers so you know exactly where your marketing dollars are going.

As you can see in the graph above (provided by Compete.com) Facebook is getting more than 132 million unique visitors per month and their traffic has grown by more than 45% in the last year alone. According to Facebook's statistics, they have reached over 500 million active users.  50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day  Average user has 130 friends  People spend over 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook When it comes to activity, Facebook users: This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au 5

If the numbers above are not yet enough to give you an answer for this question, think about this… With Facebook you can: 1. Gain exposure for your business that may lead to new clients or projects; 2. Increase the credibility of your business through Facebook users’ recommendations; 3. Connect with the people in your network; 4. Re-connect with business contacts you’ve lost touch with; and 5. Meet new people and expand your business network. And with more than 500 million members (which is still growing ad a very rapid pace), Facebook is definitely good for business. That is, if you do things correctly (we’ll get back to that later). In addition to what is already mentioned above, what makes Facebook great for business is that:  It is popular with all age groups (that is except for people below the age of 13 who generally don’t have any purchasing powers anyway);  Facebook pages appear on search engines and are accessible to everyone (even people who are not Facebook members);  Facebook provides you with a two-way communication channel between you and your customers and prospects;  It is very easy to share stuff on Facebook and, because of that, things can spread rapidly on Facebook; and This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au 8
  • 9. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners  Facebook has a ton of components/features that are very well suited for marketing. Ways Facebook Can Help Your Business Groups A Facebook group is where you create a community around a specific topic/interest or cause. In other words, this is where people connect and communicate with other Facebook users who share the same interest with them. The nice thing about groups is that (as admin of a group) you can send emails to the members of your group (i.e., targeted audience). This makes groups a very powerful and highly effective marketing tool. Below is an example of what a Facebook group looks like. However, you must note that groups are built around a group of people rather than your business or your brand. So, instead of using a group to promote your business/brand, use a group to create awareness about topics related to your niche. The only limitation of groups is that, unlike “Pages”, groups are not visible to people who are not signed in to Facebook. This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au 9
  • 10. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners Pages Facebook “Pages” were created to enable business owners to create a Facebook profile for their business (yes, very much like your personal profile). As a matter of fact, the earliest version of the code that made up a Facebook “Page” was almost exactly the same as the code that generated user profile pages. Just like your personal profile, Pages give your business/brand an identity on Facebook. And just like on your personal profile, you can store photos, videos, information about your company, and custom applications on your Page. Unlike personal Facebook accounts, however, which have a 5,000 person cap, Pages have no “liker” cap. A “liker” (formerly known as a “fan”) is a person who has opted in to receiving updates from a particular page (very much like the friends you have on your personal account). When a person “likes” a page, all his/her friends will see it on their feed. This exposes the page to more people and could lead to more “likers”. This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au 10
  • 11. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners All activities on a Page get posted back to your Page’s feed for all your friends to see. Additionally, all posts made by Page admins also appear on all the Page’s “likers” feed. Applications Called "apps" for short, Facebook applications are mini programs that run within the Facebook environment and enhance the users' social networking experience. If you're familiar with plugins, like the ones that you install on web browsers to view a web page correctly (e.g., Flash, Quicktime, JavaScript), apps are just like that. Applications enable you to say or promote anything you want about your business in a unique and highly engaging manner. Below is an example of a Facebook app. Creating full blown applications requires significant programming knowledge and skills, as well as a server on which to house and run your application. However, Facebook also allows non-programmers to create simple applications using (quite ironically) other apps. These applications generally require no programming knowledge to use. With just a bit of imagination, you'll be able create and launch an application in a matter of minutes. This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au 11
  • 12. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners Advertising Facebook’s advertising engine enables advertisers to specify a specific demographic target, see how many people that demographic will hit, and advertise to that demographic. Depending on the budget, Facebook offers various advertising spots/spaces through out the site which are generally charged in cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-thousand (CPM) basis. When you first post your ad, you will be required to purchase credits for you to use on your ads. Consider this as a pre-paid advertising program. Your ad will run for as long as you have credits in your account. That goes without saying that you need to replenish your credits to keep your ad(s) running. In keeping track of your ads' performance, Facebook has what is referred to as “Facebook Insights” which can help you improve your ads (if needed). Be careful in choosing as some categories do not work with Facebook ads. Among the things that are not allowed in social ads are: 1) masked or redirect links 2) misleading ads 3) promotion of products such as ringtones, software downloads, alcohol, and This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au 12
  • 13. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners tobacco. Read the Facebook advertising guidelines for more details. Another word of caution... Facebook ads, if not used properly, can easily burn through your wallet. For that, it is advisable that one must obtain enough knowledge and experience in PPC programs prior to running ads on Facebook. Also, keep in mind that Facebook doesn't like affiliate links. For this, you must create a web site or blog which you can use as a landing page for your advertisements. You can also use Facebook ads in marketing your group if you think that it will benefit you more. Facebook Connect Facebook Connect enables your website to easily integrate with Facebook. Think of it as a web ID system similar to OpenID. But aside from simplifying the site registration process, Facebook Connect also allows website owners to extend some social networking features onto their site, thus making it easier to share content through Facebook.

  • 14. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners Tips on Using Facebook Pages Name your page carefully You are only allowed to have 75 characters for your Page’s name (including spaces), and you will not be allowed to change your Page’s name once you’ve already got 100 “likers”. So choose your name wisely. Make sure it’s a name that you like and a name that you will have no trouble being stuck with forever. Only use an actual company name if: 1) you own the company; 2) your company allows you to; and 3) you know that you will never leave that company. Only include your name if you’re promoting it as a brand. And when you do, include some descriptive words that will tell people who you are or what it is that you do. Lastly, considering that Facebook Pages are accessible by and through search engines, include important keywords (words related to your business/industry) in your Page’s name whenever possible. Promote your page in as many places as (ethically) possible Promote it on your site, bookmark it on social bookmarking sites, put your Page’s link on your business cards and other printed matters. Make your Page unique Don’t settle for what Facebook gives you by default. Make your Page stand out. Think creatively about how you can add value to Facebook users’ experience when they visit your Page. Take time to think about how to design your page in such a way that it will not only catch people’s attention but will also get people to “like” it. Do not make your Wall the landing spot Never let new users land on your Wall. The Wall doesn’t really tell anything about your brand, and it won’t have much impact on new visitors. This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au 14
  • 15. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners Tips on Facebook Promotion Do not set up a personal profile or a Facebook Group to promote your brand. Use a Page instead. As mentioned earlier, Groups are best left to causes and topics related to your niche (e.g., Say No to Fur). And personal profiles? Well, they’re for people, not businesses and brands. Allow users to post or comment on your Page. Keep in mind that being “social” is all about interaction, conversation, and dialogue. So give your “likers” a voice. Do not leave your page stagnant for very long. Remember, the more you use your page and update it, the more chances you have of tapping into the viral nature of Facebook. The key is to be consistent and interesting with two to four posts a week. If you can’t do it on your own, hire someone to do it for you. Make sure to include your business information or link on your page. Don’t make the mistake of using your Facebook page as a website because its not and it’s not yours, it’s Facebook’s. Facebook can take it down anytime and for whatever reason it may have. So, if you have a website, make sure to include your site’s link on your Facebook page. If not, make sure to let people know where to find you and how to contact you. Keep in mind that social media pages are public. Always be professional in everything you do and say on your Facebook page because your brand is always out on the web and reflects on you and your business. Do not make your posts sound like an ad. Always keep in mind that people generally hate being sold to. So, instead of trying to sell, try to inform and educate. Share valuable information. Do not post promotional messages/materials on other people’s wall. Just think about this… how would you like it if someone comes along and sticks a poster up on your front door? Keep your promotions on your own wall. If you’d like to get extra exposure, ask your friends/”likers” politely to help you promote by reposting/sharing your promotion on their wall. Always make it a point to thank people for “liking” your Page and posts. This small gesture can do wonders in spreading goodwill about your page and brand. Engage with your “likers”. When someone comments on your page, comment back, even if it is to merely thank them for commenting. Answer their questions. Respond to their complaints. Encourage your followers to interact with you. This tells your followers/”likers” that there is a real person on the other end and that you care.

  • 16. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners What Exactly are Facebook Fanpages? According to the Facebook Pages Manual, Facebook decided to add the functionality of setting up fanpages so that business owners, organizations, bands, and celebrities could keep in close relationships with their fans, clients, and customers. Having a Facebook fanpage gives you the capability of adding video, graphics, email auto responders to start building a list, adding coupons, selling gift cards, etc. You can be very creative with Facebook fanpages, just like you can with your website. So you might be thinking “So what is the big deal, I do all those things on my website already.” Although you might have all of these things on your website already, getting your business more exposure on the worlds largest Social Network should also be part of your marketing strategy. Here is a sample fanpage that is selling giftcards: Here is a sample of a fanpage that has an email autoresponder on it so that they can collect emails and start building a profitable list: This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au 16

Some people will tell you that Facebook Ads don’t work for business purposes, but that’s simply not so. It should speak volumes and give you a big, fat clue about its potential when you realize that major companies are taking full advantage of Facebook Ads, in creative ways. For example, according to Facebook’s own Marketing Solutions page… Honda recently used Facebook Ads to keep consumers updated (and  do serious damage control) after its recent spate of shocking recalls. Budweiser encouraged social interactivity with its customers when it  invited them to select which commercials to show during televised sports games. Guitar Hero became the first online video game to reach 1,000,000  fans on Facebook Even Coca-Cola jumped on the bandwagon, selling “virtual bottles of coke” and promising to donate $1.00 for every virtual bottle sent to their favorite cause. These 4 examples alone show you the sort of creativity you can employ (and flexibility you can take advantage of) when you mix a Facebook Fanpage and a Facebook Advertising campaign!

  • 19. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners If you already have a fanpage for your business, you'll notice that this one has a number of features not found in the default layout. Facebook allows businesses to customize their fanpages in a number of ways and doing so is a great idea! You can add custom graphics to build your brand, videos that excite your visitors and deliver your message in a fresh, new way or even add the ability to capture email leads direct from your fanpage! As Facebook is now getting as much (and in some cases more) internet traffic to its site, there has never been a better time to harness the power of Facebook! You Want to Attract “Fansumers” If you’ve been wondering what a “fansumer” is, it’s yet another social phenomenon you can use to your advantage. According to Forrester Research, a “fansumer” is simply a consumer who has “become a fan” of a brand on Facebook. This brings us back to yet another of Facebook Ads’ biggest advantage… interactivity. It’s a proven maxim: Get people to engage as a participant, rather than as a spectator, and their stake in what they’re engaging in becomes personal and more positive. Use an app or a product and click the little “become a fan” text link on your Facebook page, and you are not only contributing to its statistical popularity, but personally endorsing it! Why Profile Pages Can Be Your Best Friend The main reason you can target so specifically, in spite of Facebook itself have a broad, generic demographic, can be attributed to profile pages. Think about it: When you filled out your profile page, you were prompted to share your:  Hobbies and interests  Career and work information  School, college or university  Tastes in music, books and movies  Personal and contact information (date of birth, marital status, etc.)  City and state This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au 19

  • 30. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners So How Else Do I Promote my Fanpage? There are a few ways that you can promote your fanpage, using the Facebook advertising platform is the best way to promote. I will cover in detail how the paid advertising platform can get you traffic, I will also give you other FREE ideas you can use to get traffic to your fanpage. Let’s begin with Facebook Pay Per Click…. You’ve seen them yourself, most likely… those ads running down the right-hand side of your Facebook pages, most of them about interests you particularly enjoy. You are not seeing the same ads as everyone else accessing Facebook at that moment. These ones are specifically targeted to data Facebook has gleaned from your preferences and other sources. Facebook ads are simple but powerful. Each one consists of a title, text block and graphic or photo of your choice – all within a 110px X 80px “box”, to fit that vertical, right hand Facebook sidebar. If you think of them as a cross between a Twitter tweet and a banner ad, you’ve just about got the picture! And yes – they absolutely can advertise your:  Product  Services  Contest  Cause This report brought to you by: Dominic Magerl – workhorsewebpages.com.au 30
  • 31. Internet Marketing Tips For Local Business Owners  Links  Photos  Videos  Business USP  Business Event Facebook’s biggest benefit is its most obvious. It operates through social networking and trending rather than pure SEO – the hottest trend of this brand new decade. It allows readers to see your ads on their mobile phones – and mobile devices now outnumber personal computers, 4 to 1! If you are using Facebook Advertising to promote your fanpage, you will find that the traffic you are buying is much cheaper than Google Adwords. Adwords can be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing, Facebook advertising your fanpage can be a great first start if you are new to Pay Per Click marketing. But whether you use Adwords (SEO based) or Facebook ads (social networking based), Facebook ads nowadays are a “must” – particularly with the not-so-subtle switch over to mobile devices! But it’s great for beginning marketers because at the moment, it’s significantly less expensive to advertise on Facebook than with PPC! Graphics Capability – It’s other biggest benefit is that you can introduce a graphic element or photo into what is basically just a small text ad! Since Facebook is “tuned” to graphic elements, and interest has been shown to peak when graphics are displayed, it wins hands-down over AdWords banner ads. Text Capability – You have 75 characters to say what you want to say in Google AdWords (that’s less than half a tweet!) Facebook ads not only allows you a 25- character headline, but 135 words of body text, too. (That’s over double Google AdWords’ capacity – but note; spaces count.)
