How To Do It – Facebook Can Help You Build Your Business

If you don’t already have a Facebook page for your business then now’s the time to get started!

Social networking has taken the world by storm providing businesses with new ways of reaching and advertising to their target audience. Facebook pages are increasingly becoming an essential marketing and communication tool for businesses. It’s never been easier to interact with your community, broadcast timely information and attract new customers.

Here are some quick facts about Facebook:

  • Facebook already has over 500 million users. If Facebook was a country, it would be the world’s third biggest nation.
  • Over 8 million Malaysia are Facebook users and they’re not all teenagers – around ¼ are over 50 years old
  • The average Facebook user has 130 friends
  • There are over 3 million active Pages on Facebook, and every day, 20 million people ‘like’ these Pages.

So how can you use Facebook to spread the news about your business? Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your Facebook page:

  1. Secure your very own Facebook username and make your Facebook ‘vanity’ url short and memorable. You can only select a username for your page once, so make sure you select your username carefully! Choose a name that will be suitable for publishing on marketing materials.  http://www.facebook.com/arazak.ngah
  2. Add your Facebook link to your email signature, email newsletters and marketing materials and give people good reasons to become fans. The promise of free Facebook giveaways, Facebook only competitions, and pre-launch notifications of new products and services are all good incentives to draw people in.
  3. Update your Facebook page often. Facebook is all about community so focus on building a good relationship with your followers. Don’t spam your audience with ads and self promotion but engage them with tips, advice and links that are of value to them. Each time someone ‘likes’ or comments on your Facebook updates, their Facebook friends see it which exponentially increases your exposure.
  4. Run Facebook competitions and give people a reason for telling the world what they like you. Ask people to post reviews on a product or service in order to win a prize, or give them incentives like discount coupons or free products for posting a link about your page to their friends. Anything that gets your customers talking will help attract new customers.
  5. Post testimonials on your Facebook page or better yet, ask your customers to post their testimonials directly on your Facebook page. Testimonials are a great way of building credibility and trust so make sure everyone gets to hear about it when someone says something nice about you!
  6. Add a Facebook social plugin to your website and allow people to ‘like’ your pages and share them with their friends. Each time a Facebook user visits your site and clicks on it, a link to your page gets added to their activity stream which is then displayed to all of their friends who can then click on the link and be led to your page. You may need your web developer to help you insert this on your website.

Home based business opportunity

How to Guarantee Success in Your Home Based Business

WP Lead Engine
The home business industry has grown tremendously in the last decade, and many people are building a home business to create an extra income to supplement their daily expenses, or to achieve financial freedom.

However, there are also many people to fail to achieve any success in the home business. After all the research I have done, I have realized that reason why most people fail in the industry, is only down to one simple reason.

They lack training??.

Now, you may think that this reason is really simple, or it can be easily solved. However, let me dive deep and explain why lack of training is the main reason why most people fail in the home business.

Like any other industries, people need to be trained to get better in their skills. This is no difference with our home business industry! People need to learn how to build a successful industry, they need to equip themselves with the correct mindset and skills to achieve success.

However, many people who come into this business are not receiving the right training. This is a home business they are building, which they can build using simple tools like the internet and the phone.

This is where most training gone wrong. People are taught to chase after people around them for prospects and sales, doing massive cold callings to leads from telephone books or purchased leads. They are not taught how to do proper follow up with potential leads, and result in pestering them and causes people to run away from them!

They are not taught how to market their home business the right way, the right way that will attract people to come to their business. They are not taught how to target and present their business to the right people so that they don’t waste time talking to uninterested people in their business.

As a result of a lack of quality training, people are not getting results they want, and many quit the home business, and calling it a failed business, or a business which has a high failure rate. However, little did they know that the reason is the lack of quality training.

If you are in the this industry for some time, and not getting the results you want, or you are new to building your own business from home, I would want you to be trained effectively to guarantee that you can be successful in it. The best way to do that would be to choose a great mentor who has the experience of building a business from home, and can coach you directly how to build a successful one.
