Facebooking: Social Networking For Your Business
Facebooking as described by Net Lingo the internet dictionary is the activity of logging into Facebook to create a profile, connect with friends and share information.
As Facebook boast a membership of 400 million users with 50 percent of them logging on daily, I am sure you are accounted for somewhere in those numbers. If you are a networker looking to move your business online I am going to talk to you about how you should be facebooking.
I am sure you are aware or may have heard that many marketers and networkers are successfully integrating Facebook as an integral part of their marketing strategies. However, there are also many who are using it incorrectly. Let’s look at how you can set up your Facebook page as a tool to help in your marketing efforts as well as have others join your business.
Effective Facebooking Strategies
Make A List: I know you are probably saying oh no not the list. Well, you have to start somewhere. At any rate the list you will be making this time is not a friends and family list. You will make a list of networking companies.
Join Groups: Find groups in those networking companies and join them as well as other groups in your target market. Join several.
Post: Now that you are a member of these groups you want to participate by contributing to them and if they allow you can also post your add
Add Friends: Find people that interest you and that are in your target market and connect with them.
Share: Provide valuable information to your friends and the groups you joined
Those are very basic strategies but they are the core for effective facebooking. Facebook once know as a place to gather and connect with friends is quickly becoming a large permission based marketing portal. It is now a strategic component of using social networking to help identify opportunities as well as find qualified business partners.

Thanks for this post Brenda. I’ve been with Facebook for awhile and I have joined some groups but I have failed to do my part in the commentary area.

Brenda,
Great post. I just purchased Robert Grant’s Facebook training. Tonight, one of the things he emphasized was to join groups. I have not joined or participated in Facebook groups yet. I have been focused on many other sites around the net. Now I’m planning to put more focus on Facebook. Thanks for your pointers.
