Seems like everyone on the Planet is on Facebook these days. I don’t know if I’m personally into it, but you can’t argue the fact that Facebook can be used as an effective marketing tool for you website or business. So let’s explore how to use Facebook to help drive more traffic to you website.
First, login to your Facebook account.
Next go to:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
There is actually a set of tiny icons at the bottom of your browser window, not exactly easy to see.
Click the little “F” icon. This will take you to the “Ads and Pages” section.
Click on the “Pages” link. Now you’ll see a “Create Page” button. Above it, there is a more prominent button that say’s “Create Ad”. Don’t click that one unless you want to buy advertising!
Click the “Create Page” button.
This is the Create New Facebook Page page. Choose the category for the page, then choose from the dropdown menu what type of business it is.
Name your page and make sure you add some type of tagline about what you’re offering or doing. For instance, this Facebook page is:
Imagedia – ecommerce help and web development help.
Type in the “captcha” text and then click the “Create Page” button.
This will take you to the section to create your new page. Now you need to add some info about your website.
In the left column, you’ll see a large question mark for your image. Hover over that question mark and a link will appear to “Change Your Picture”. Click that link. A box will appear, giving you options where that picture is going to come from. If it’s from your local computer, choose “Upload a Picture”. Click that link and a new box comes up for you to “Choose File”. Click that button and browse to the image file you want to use for your picture. Select the image and click “Choose”. It may take a few moments to upload.
Now you can select the “Info” tab near the top of the page and click the “Edit Information” link and enter the information you want. At the bottom of the box, click “Save Changes” and then go to the top and select “Done Editing”.
Now go to the upper right corner of your page and click the “Become a Fan” button.
You now have a page on your Facebook page.
