Two big questions small business owners have for me when it comes to Facebook are: 1) is there a way I can separate my personal information from my professional

information and 2) what is the best way to engage others and bring attention to my business?

Facebook "Fan Pages" are the answer to both.

A Fan Page is simply a public profile that allows you to share information about your business, services or products with other Facebook users. To create a Fan Page,

click on "Advertising" in the lower right hand part of the screen. After doing this you will be taken to a page with several choices listed at the top. Click on

"Pages" which has an orange flag next to it. Then, just click the green "Create a Page" button.

Once you have created your Page, you can now reap its benefits. What are those benefits? There are several, but here I will highlight the top three:

Driving Traffic. Facebook Pages are public. Most of Facebook requires a login for you to access it. However, Pages are not behind a login and thus are visible to the

search engines. This means people can not only find your business listed, but it is likely to be ranked highly due to the fact that Facebook itself is. Therefore, you

might want to consider using relevant keywords in your Page title as well. For example, Facebook expert Mari Smith's Page title is Mari Smith - Relationship and Buzz

Marketing Specialist.

Of course, once people visit your Page, they will also have a way to continue on to your main website or blog which you will have listed.

Promoting Discussion. Pages are a great way to communicate with potential clients and customers. You now have an opportunity to listen, watch and provide answers when

needed. People will notice when you take the time to help and add to the discussions. Send updates periodically through the update feature and concentrate on building

relationships and being a part of the conversation.

Spreading Awareness. By utilizing the wall for discussions, providing links, adding pictures, importing your blog posts and more, you are making it easy to connect

with you. This will help turn people into fans as well as encourage others to visit your Page. When others become fans it will show on their profile as well as in

their mini-feed. When your fans interact with your Page, these interactions are visible to their friends via the News Feed. This is fantastic for word-of-mouth and for

exposing your business to an ever-increasing circle of Facebook users.

Some Tips:

*To get to your Page from your main personal profile, click on "Applications" at the bottom to the left and then click "Ads and Pages."

*You need to click on the link that says "publish this page" for your page to become public. This is nice as you can have your Page all set up and complete before you

begin promoting it.

*If you click on "Edit Page" you can add applications to your page such as discussion boards, reviews, events and more.

*People can become "fans" of your page. To encourage this, you can click the link for "suggest to friends" under your picture. If you click on "Share" on the left side

under "create a page" then you can also post a message about your page to your personal profile or send a message to others.

You already know about Facebook, everybody does.

What you might not know are the Cold Hard FACTS about Facebook. Did you know, Facebook has over 400 Million users and Growing? That's equal to the size of the entire

population of the United States of America and Mexico. Combined!

And of those 400+ Million users, did you know that half of them log onto FaceBook EVERYDAY SINGLE DAY?

And that the Average Facebook user spends 13.3 hours per month, which is an average of 26 minutes per day! And I can personally vouch for this seeing as I have a

teenage daughter, who spends at least triple this amount of time on Facebook.

So what are all these people doing while on Facebook? Well%u2026

They're connecting with their Facebook friends. They're uploading and commenting on photos, status updates and videos. They're creating and interacting with groups and

events and they're liking facebook Fan Page Websites.

So maybe you've already on Facebook and have a profile, but you might be asking%u2026 "What's a Facebook Fan Page?"

I'm glad you asked.

A Facebook Fan Page Website or "Official Page Website" as Facebook has just renamed them is a page anyone can create for their local business, brand, organization or

even an artist, band or public figure.

Just to get familiar, let's talk about some famous and popular Facebook Fan Pages:

For example, the Official Fan Page of movie star Ben Stiller has over 1 million people who like his page. Yet, when you look at the navigation bar of this Fan Page

Website there is nothing promoting his current movie, next movie, nor is there any interesting way to interact with him. It could be better, more interactive and much

more profitable.

Another example is the Official Fan Page for the band Pink Floyd. They've got almost 3 million fans who "Like" their Facebook Fan Page, that's huge. Yet there is NO

way purchase their latest box set or buy products that promote this legendary band%u2026 Such a shame.

Then there is the Official Fan Page for the music artist Johnny Cash. Good ole Johhny has over 1.5 million fans, nice work Johnny! Yet, In the navigation bar there is

no way for fans to sign up to get updates. They can't buy the "Essential Johnny Cash" album or his "Flippin The Bird" T-Shirt. So%u2026 Johnny%u2026 call us and we'll hook you

up.

And lastly%u2026 the block buster Movie Titanic has an Official Facebook Fan Page that has around 3 million fans. Remember, this was one of the biggest blockbusters of all

time. Yet, it has no way for fans to buy the 10th anniversary edition DVD or the 3-Disc special collectors edition. James Cameron is missing out on thousands of

dollars in lost sales%u2026 right from Facebook!

Ok%u2026 So what is similar about each of these Facebook Fan Pages? Yes%u2026 they all have a HUGE amount of fans.
Yet%u2026 the thing I find most important and disturbing%u2026 is that%u2026 they all Look The Same!

If you put them all up on the same page, from that perspective%u2026 It's almost impossible to tell them apart from one another.

Not only is this BORING%u2026 It's bad for business because it's NOT distinguishing, memorable or profitable.

Some better examples of professionally made custom Facebook Fan Page Websites from big brand companies you already know about include the Fan Page Website for

Starbucks.

Starbucks is a company that GETS Social Media. They've made it so you can interact with and monitor your Starbucks account right on Facebook. You can Manage and RELOAD

your balance from this Fan Page Website. Get it? Right from Facebook%u2026 you can send Starbucks MORE of your money. It's a brilliant marketing strategy! Right?

There is another one that is even better%u2026 It's the Fan Page for the Twilight Saga movies. They've made it so you can engage in live chat or watch a video preview.

They've also got a quiz you can take, a poll to see what character you are and they've even got their twitter stream embedded directly into their Fan Page Website.

It's all perfect for connecting with the Twilight community.

So%u2026 what if you don't have a $17 Million Dollar Marketing Budget like these Fortune 500 Big Brand Companies?

Not to worry.

That's where Fan Page Websites can help. But before I tell you how you can easily and affordably have a Facebook Fan Page for your business or organization let's first

take a quick review of the facts about Facebook and why these facts are important to you.
