Remember when Facebook was something that only college students had access to? That's a period that has been over for a while now. A Facebook account is something everyone has now, even your eighty year old grandmother! This makes Facebook an excellent platform for internet marketers to try and generate sales and garner interest for their products. This can be done in a lot of ways but one of the best is to create a "fan" page for your business. You can't generate sales and garner the interest you need by just creating a fan page. Employ these suggestions to grow your popularity on Facebook and, implicitly, your business.

Your site needs to have the Facebook widget. This is a highly effective method of informing the people visiting your site that you also have a fan page on Facebook. Making the widget is quite simple. Facebook has a special tool you can use. You just create your widget, adjust it to look the way you want it to look and then embed the code into your website. The ideal location for the widget is the sidebar, though some people prefer to dedicate a whole page to them or place them on their footers. The widget sets up a link to your Facebook page but also shows how many people are following you and "like" you.

At first it might be a small number and seem embarrassing but as it grows it will attract more people to join! If your fan page has a lot of photos, this can help a lot. If you have a lot of live events, it can be especially useful to post images. The images can be posted, and then people can tag themselves in the pictures. No need to upload or download images anymore. Once they are on your page and people tag them, they are automatically shared. People look around more when there are photos to see. If you do not go to live events very often, you might want to do a few more so that more images can be posted.

Put a link to your Facebook fan page on every personal profile you have. Make sure that it is listed on profiles for forums, professional sites and even personal message services.

Anywhere you can create a profile, you should include the address of your fan page on Facebook. Ensure you make some meaningful posts and comments now and then because you will only get more "likes" by being a good member of the community. Without a doubt, our culture has been significantly modified through the integration of Facebook. Here to stay, Facebook has championed its way past flash in the pan companies like MySpace and seems to be here for the long run. A Facebook fan page is something that every serious Internet Marketer needs to have in order to professionally represent their business. Now you know what to do. Get a Facebook fan page and start having people "like" it using the many strategies we have presented. Good luck and may you be profitable!
