Assured Social Media

In our recent issue, we discussed about how to use Facebook ads to take your business to the higher level. In this issue we are going to talk about social media management for much better search engine rankings and traffic.

There are a number of internet marketers that point out that Facebook has turned out to be more efficient than Google with regards to getting traffic. Whether this is true or not, it’s not unusual to know that many other marketers are jumping in the bandwagon to try out Facebook marketing for themselves also because this way is a lot cheaper and a lot easier to set up.

Here are some additional tips on how to pull traffic from search engines straight to your Facebook page:

Form A good deal Of Quality Backlinks to your site

You can find a number of ways you can lead your potential clients and customers towards your page. This is just one among the many benefits of using Facebook. The more Likes that you have which equates to acquiring more Fans, the more links lead back to your Page. This is the onsite way.

The offsite way is to build links using other websites such as your official website, article directories, other social networking sites, email signatures and the like. Article submission is one of the least expensive, yet most reliable ways to build backlinks. Not only that, they also allow you to presell to your prospects before reaching to your main page.

– Use your Business Name

While it’s good to be innovative with your profile and updates, the same does not follow for your Facebook name. The chief goal is to provide a name that’s retrieveable for others. This optimizes your target keywords better. Also, remember that your name shouldn’t sound like a sales pitch so don’t stuff it with several descriptions. Less is more. For instance, if your business name is Jonathan’s Fruits Shakes, and there’s another business name that sounds similar, how about changing yours into “Jonathan’s Healthy Fruit Shakes”

The same goes for vanity URLs. This new feature gives you the option to change your URL so it’s more searchable to other Facebook users. Again, you don’t want your URL to sound flamboyant. Consider going for facebook.com/jeremiahfruitshakes. This is pretty direct.

– Complete your Profile

Your landing page has an important role in gaining a great deal of Facebook fans. Your potential customers will decide to read your profile and become your fan depending on how beneficial and appealing your page is. With this, it’s crucial that your profile is complete with all the necessary details. This is also your chance to use a bit of your creative side. It would be best if you come up with some eye-catching content.

Your landing page is also one of the pages where you can place keyword-rich text. Aside from using targeted keywords, you can also add in broad, general keywords that are normally used in your chosen market. This is so Google can easily find your page. Also, make use of customer feedback or testimonials as these will help you attract more prospects. This is a great way to build your reputation within the industry.

With all the benefits of using Facebook as a business tool, still it’s not recommended that you use a Facebook Fan page as a replacement for an official website. Facebook only adds another dimension to the logistics of online marketing.

Be sure you don’t miss our next issue of Facebook for Business

There’s a lot of ways you can make use of Facebook for Business. If you want to find out more see here for additional Facebook marketing strategies.

In our previous issue, you learned how Facebook helps businesses attract new consumers. Today, we will discuss more about creating a Facebook Fan Page for your company.

Any successful business executes a good amount of social interaction and social media management. Without having good connection with your audience and without having reliable online presence, business is dead.

A lot of business owners have proven Facebook marketing as one of the most effective ways out there when it comes to generating targeted traffic. Its influence to culture and daily life is so magnanimous that having an account can literally make or break a starting company.

As pointed out in the previous issue, a Fan Page is not only a good idea for your business but for your prospective clients as well as it allows them to connect with you easily. People look for official websites to evaluate a company’s credibility. However, a Facebook Fan Page, as long as it’s professionally managed, will do in case you have no website.

Another thing about credibility. a Facebook fan page is far more efficient that a personal account if you want to establish a sense of official presence to the details you place in your page. A profile page is less believable compared to a Fan Page. Decide on your business name as soon as possible and look for names similar to your own in the same industry as your company.

For instance, if your company name is TASTY Ice Cream and you find a page with almost the same name in the same industry, then find a way to distinguish your name. You can use descriptions like TASTY Philadelphia Homemade Ice Cream. This way, you are hitting two birds with one stone. You’ve just given out your location right away which helps your audience in determining your geographical background and you’ve found a way to make your name sound different from the other.

You can do this right after you have created your username. A user name can only be established once your Fan page has 25 fans.

Another good way to gain expertise for your Fan page is to answer all necessary questions in the profile. A profile that’s complete with background, short history, other contact details and store locations is essential. In addition to being complete, your content must also express some creativity. Most of the time, the profile is the basis whether people want to add you up or not. This should be the primary goal of a Facebook Fan page, to have a strong following online.

When using Facebook for Business, part of developing a good brand is by customizing it by adding store photos, product photos, notes and the like. Be careful with what photos to add. If you are posting photos and you don’t want them stolen, place a watermark as a warning. You must remember that you are building a brand here. Avoid posting content that are too personal such as personal photos and videos, informal company party documentation, internal problem discussions and others. Lastly, don’t forget to add your contact numbers, addresses and emails where they can reach you when you’re offline.

Besides Facebook, you can also use other social networking sites like YouTube and Twitter to get a more solid online presence.

That’s it. Be sure to read your next issue soon. You will learn how to get people to like your Facebook business page.

In the last issue of Facebook for Business we talked about how to create a page for your business on Facebook. In this issue we are going to talk about how Facebook can help you attract new customers.

As we have discussed before, it’s important to establish online presence through social media management sites particularly Facebook even if your company already has an official website.

Why, you may ask? Pretty simple. That is because Facebook is more reachable and user friendly to other people compared to any business website. It gives a sense of friendliness to companies that would seem too corporate for prospects to check out or a sense of credibility to starting companies who have no website to speak of.

In addition to this, a Facebook page makes it possible for any company to get more interactive towards their customers. They can get feedback for the products, services and promos they offer. While it may seem dangerous because you can be given both positive and negative feedbacks, companies should not be afraid because Facebook is a tool that can be easily moderated.

For instance, if you have a mind to; you can retain the best feedback and just hide the rest. This way, most potential customers will be able to read the positive testimonials of previous customers. Such feedback adds a touch of authenticity to the company, and will most likely entice the potential customer reading it.

In addition to that, customers who are fed up of the usual online marketing tactics such as newsletters and ads will most likely go to Facebook to have their concerns answered. Having a Facebook page will give your business access to over 500 Million users without even having to buy e-mail addresses like what traditional e-mail marketing resort to.

Interaction isn’t limited to Facebook updates and wall posts though. You can also make use of the photos and notes feature. If you are using a Fan page which is recommended for businesses (rather than a personal profile page), you can modify the posting ability of your Facebook fans which allow them to post links, videos, and photos.

If done this way, your potential customers will be ale to perceive how your products or services are being used by your customers. Again, this can engage the community to be more interactive as was successfully executed by Pampers? Facebook Fanpage. There are also some companies like the well-known Ben and Jerry’s that go as far as using customer polling. If used the right way, this will provide customers a sense of power concerning the products, which as a result will give them a sense of acceptance and possession.

With Facebook, you can also feature promos, special discounts and sales for your products as in the case of rushIMPRINT, which uses their page for this purpose. The page easily leads back to the company’s official website as well as their contact details. Some even use Facebook to give exclusive deals to their customers.

If you’re implementing Facebook marketing, this is a very good way to determine whether your page is effective or not in attracting customers. You can use give-aways to your Facebook users who can’t be reached through other sites like your business website, email, and Twitter.

Companies like Baskin Robbins develop and utilize a Facebook tool that helps their page become more interactive and attractive to customers. Through their account, they’re giving out a very enticing deal, a Buy One, get one promo that most enthusiasts will not surpass.

The key to an effective Facebook page is to use it with a sense of fun and a good level of interaction. You should also differentiate your company from the rest of the market. If used this way, you’ll quickly get a nice return for your simple work.

Keep watch for our next issue. We are going to talk more about creating a Facebook Fanpage for your business.

Part of Facebook marketing is to be able to communicate with fans without any hype. Get more info about using Facebook for Business here.

Facebook marketing has noticed substantial growth due to the truth that marketers are understanding how nicely it could be leveraged and how targeted their campaigns could be. The purpose of this write-up would be to provide you with a clear idea about how you must function together with your ad campaigns on Facebook to obtain a good return on investment. The techniques below can raise your on line exposure whether you are attempting to promote a single article optimized for “thyax thyroid support” or a high-traffic weblog geared toward those interested in “Performing Arts”.

Don’t ignore your advertising campaign once you have started it; keeping a close eye on everything is how you avoid spending too much money on cost per click and increase the performance of your advertisements. Paying attention to your CPCs helps you keep things running at a reasonable budget. If you see that your ad’s CPC has gotten higher then you need to take some time to really look at the advertisement and see if there is anything that you can do about it. Go ahead and change the ad to replace it with a more compelling one that allows you to get more traffic at cheaper rates. When you keep a close eye on your advertisements you can lower the amount of money being paid out of your pocket for advertisement and get a much better return for that expense.

It is important to keep your emotions away from the profits that you want to invest in Facebook. If you allow emotions like greed to get in the way, you could spend all of your advertising budget and totally wreck your campaigns. It is important to be careful about how you invest your money and to closely watch how well that money works for you. A lot of Facebook advertisers who are new wind up losing their investment by simply following their guts. Getting excited with a bit of success can lead you to make wrong decisions that may ultimately cripple your ad campaigns. Rather, you should pay attention to your target audience and adjust your campaigns accordingly to improve the click through rate. All of this won’t happen overnight and will definitely take time, so it’s better to be practical rather than being emotional.

Using Facebook’s viral qualities is a good idea. Every connection that you have established on Facebook is connected to other people. This is one space where peer pressure can be used to your advantage, so you should do what you can to make as much as you can from it. It’s a totally natural thing to occur because if one friend likes something it is likely that their other friends will like it too. An ad will have a better click through rate if the person who sees it notices that several of his or her friends have already liked it. This is one of the things that separates Facebook from the other advertising methods and portals that are online.

It is clear that advertising in the future will be on Facebook but to get the best results you should only take calculated risks and be smart about your approach.

In the last issue, you learned the right way to interact with your friends and fans on Facebook. In this issue, we are going to talk about using Facebook marketing to give value to your prospective buyers and customers.

It’s a fact that half of all Facebook users visit their profiles everyday? This suggests that there are over 250 million of the social networks 500 million who might be able to see your Page.

Imagine being able to tap a percentage of that market for your own product or service. That represents thousands of dollars in return.

Then again only a few Facebook accounts have the capacity to acquire customers. Like an official web page, a Facebook account must be worked tirelessly on, adjusted, upgraded and evaluated.

It’s essential that you first evaluate whether your Facebook business page is offering valuable results while keeping your reputation wholesome.

Do you want your business to raise a corporate attention among people on Facebook?

Do you want to add a touch of fun and excitement which will appeal to your target market?

Or are you just looking to create a community with which all questions and other concerns of your customers can be addressed?

Whatever the goal you have in mind, you must always execute your Facebook page with as much clarity as you would with your official web page. Avoid posting mundane or unnecessary things. This means resisting the impulse to post personal content or even things that seem fun but aren’t valuable to your audience.

Here are some other helpful hints you may find useful:

Ask For Testimonials

It used to be that people who want to keep up with their families and friends would just have to visit their Facebook profile page, view photos, send messages and the like. In these modern times, social media management offers a number of benefits to businesses. They can use customer comments and testimonials as means to assure clients of the quality of their product. With that being said, asking your customers for feedback is a good idea. Of course, you would most appreciate highly favorable feedback if given under your own accord. Then again, this may not always be the case depending on the quality of your products or services. Consider offering special deals or gifts. Say, for example, that every Facebook feedback will give them a 5% discount during their next purchase.

– Interact with Potential Customers

Whenever there are queries with regards to your products or services on Facebook, always make sure that you get back to them immediately. It would be a good impression for your Page and for your brand in general if their questions and issues are dealt with at the earliest time possible. If you are unable to do this, say sorry for the late reply.

To help you with answering questions, you should also hold as much details in your Landing Page (or your Profile Page). If all the information can’t be included in the space given, then try using a Notes Page or a similar tool.

– Post Relevant Pictures

There are business pages that use the Photos section while others use unique applications that enable them to showcase their products as well as post the product images. Whichever is the case, always make sure that the photos are of high quality. Featuring photos that look lifeless and uninteresting won’t appeal to prospects. Give as much detail as needed. For instance, if you have a jewelry business, you can promote it on Facebook by posting photos that feature the intricate designs of your jewelry pieces.

Remember these simple suggestions when coming up with content and you’ll have a good deal of prospects coming in to your business page.

Learn How You Can Create Your Facebook Business Page

In the last issue, you learned why it’s important to create a business presence using Facebook In this issue we are going to talk about creating a page for your enterprise on Facebook.

There are some confusions as to how to separate your Facebook Business Page from your personal page. It used to be that with out a personal page, you couldn’t make a business page for your company.

But not anymore. Facebook is now far more flexible when it comes to generating accounts for business purposes. This makes it simpler to get your company noticed on the web using Facebook as well as keep your images separately and protected.

When practicing social media management, it is important to differentiate the two though. Where business is concerned, experts recommend having a business page instead of a Personal Profile. Although profiles are designed for folks, pages, on the other hand are far more suitable for organizations, businesses, individuals who have celebrity status or any person who needs professional presence in the Web. This way, the far more apt term need to be Business Page.

It would be best if you start with a page right away rather than converting your profile to a business page as this is a lot easier and less time-consuming.

To get started in Facebook for Business, you will have to go to the site and create a page. This can be done quickly and easily, just follow the steps given and also you can check out Facebook’s assistance center should you need some help.http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=904

Pick the first one.

After that, you will be asked for a page name, and if you are the official representative of the entities you created. Be sure that you have also studied the Facebook terms so you will not have any difficulty with your account being deactivated for violating their guidelines later on.

The website can be very strict when it comes to multiple accounts so be careful not to mix your personal account together with your business page. Also, you will want to answer the basic questions in your Fan page as this is helpful in adding more credibility to your site like the business background or history, business locations along with contact numbers.

The great thing about Facebook marketing is that it gives you the advantage of analyzing.With these advantage, you will be able to evaluate the amount of traffic coming to your site as well as easily account your activities. Your business will also have the ability to simply engage customers to promos and just as simply figure out whether these promos are helpful in driving visitors to your page and to the overall sales. This is not available in a regular profile page.

Also, a Facebook page allows you to take advantage of its ‘Like’ button. The Like Button will provide you with an indication of customer base. The number of possible ‘Likes’ to your page is unlimited unlike in a normal page profile page where individuals are only limited to 5000 friends.

One thing you should keep in mind in your business page is to maintain professionalism. You must also be consistent in updating your page to obtain the respect of individuals. There will be instances when you will be tempted to make your page more lively and interactive as it should be but always remember that raising awareness to your brand is the most important thing. Each and every action or in this case wall post released should move towards an image of professionalism despite the site’s easily casual manner.

Look out for the next issue of Facebook for Business. We will discuss about how Facebook can help you bring in new customers.

There are lots of free ways to promote anything online. However, Facebook marketing is surely powerful when it comes to getting targeted traffic. In addition to that, using Facebook for Business allows you to interact with your target audience.

Facebook happens to be the biggest social network today, with absolutely no big competition. Facebook clearly dominates the internet and that means that it is heaven for advertisers and promoters. With half a billion users, Facebook offers all advertisers, including you, the ability to put laser focus into targeting prospects. It doesn’t matter which product or service you need to promote, there is an audience for it on Facebook. The following article gives you an insight into what Facebook can do for you and how you can leverage this new advertising platform in the best possible way. [youtube:Qocum3PQJpQ?fs=1;[link:Autoresponders];http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qocum3PQJpQ?fs=1&feature=related]

Advertising on Facebook is just like advertising on any other site, a fact you should remember. For this reason, finding the best ad is critical and that is why must split test everything. Finding the best ad is the first thing you want to do when you start advertising on Facebook and the only way to find that ad is to compare the efficiency of different versions by testing them alongside each other. Split testing is nothing new, and has been around for a long time now. The key is to remember that split testing on Facebook isn’t a one-off endeavor and should be done repeatedly to ensure you are constantly improving your ROI. It is also important to be patient because it can take a while to find a campaign that is successful.

The rate of conversion of will depend on the destination page, even if Facebook ads are highly effective at driving traffic to any type of page. Instead of sending people to your site, you will see better results if you create a fan page where you send people to from your ad. Why? Doesn’t Facebook work for websites? While Facebook does work at generating traffic for sites, this approach is more effective at increasing conversion rates and achieving quicker growth. People are very familiar with fan pages on Facebook, which means they can instantly connect with them if they land on them. Besides that, the conversion rate will be considerably high because joining your fan page takes a simple click on the ‘like’ button. Once you have built a base of fans, you can communicate with them regularly through Facebook updates.

When you offer your niche a few free gifts via your landing page, this is a great way to convert traffic into sales. Today, if you take the time to check, you will see that lots of internet marketers are using this particular technique as a way to build e-mail lists. In addition to helping you provide value to your new subscribers, it shows of how much you know about your topic. This is a much better technique than just sending people to your product page because it will increase your conversion rate. Once you have the contact information of your prospect, you can easily follow up to deliver more value and ultimately increase your sales. The thing is that you want to make sure that you set yourself apart from all of the competition in your field and offer something of real value to the people on your list; don’t just settle for giving out some rehashed materials as your free gifts.

This is a naturally occurring thing: when our friends like a thing it’s plausible that we will enjoy it too. When your ad appears to one user and that user sees that it is already liked by a few of his friends, that user will be more likely to check you out. This is one of the more unique aspects of Facebook that you can’t get from other advertising platforms that are out there.

It is clear that advertising in the future will be on Facebook but to get the best results you should only take calculated risks and be smart about your approach.
