Facebook Marketing For Home Based Businesses: Why Use Facebook?

by John Marshall on July 20, 2009

The first thing I want to cover is why you should be using Facebook to market your home based business.  So if you didn’t know or you are new to the internet, Facebook is ranked as the 4th most visited site in the world by  Alexa.com. What does that mean to you? You can use some of that traffic and redirect it to your website if you know how.

Now here are some more crazy stats on Facebook from there PR Page

  • More than 250 million active users
  • More than 120 million users log on to Facebook at least once each day
  • More than two-thirds of Facebook users are outside of college
  • The fastest growing demographic is those 35 years old and older

FaceBook gives you a unparalleled free marketing platform that is unheard of. If  used right, Facebook can give you the extra traffic that you have been looking for, to your sight. Plus the possibility of  marketing going viral is very real. Facebook and all its features allow you to talk to hundreds or even thousands of people at the click of the mouse.

However, most marketers lack the understanding of how to market the channels Facebook offers, most of which are viral.  If you can stand out from the mass of marketers and position yourself , you will be able to capture a huge following. My goal here is to show you  what’s possible on Facebook.  Facebook offers many ways to get the word out and bring the people in.

So if this makes you excited about learning how to use Facebook to market your Home Based Business, the next post in this Marketing Series is Getting Started.
