In the past we have discussed the fact that posting crap on web 2.0 sites is going to backfire for you and we have received some response from readers. Here is what one person has said.
“I took your advice…well some of it. I read your blog and I left my blog, myspace and youtube url on my profile. I slimmed it down by taking off 6 sites. Now that I think about it…that is a pitiful shame.”
I understand how you feel. You did all that work and you want to capitalize on it through your facebook profile. However, there is a better way. Facebook gives us the great option to design a “page” for our business where instead of getting friends you get “fans” for your business page. Of course as a personal profile you want to become a member of your business page and that in turn will be posted on your profile.
Again, the same rule applies on your business page. Post valuable, content driven information that gives a valuable service to your fans and readers and attracts more of them to you.
On the business page you can post events, videos, notes, start a discussion board and fans can post reviews on the page. So add items galore on your business page (as long as the content is valuable) and you won’t at all be considered a spammer.
You can post a link to one of your business sites on your personal profile, but don’t overdue it. I would recommend connecting it to a blog or an inbetween site that directs traffic to your main site.
Another option for you on Facebook marketing is to create a group for your business. It is also a great forum for members to post ideas, offer feedback and for you to share content with the members.
