Get 4 tips on how Facebook can be used to boost business.

Most people have heard of Facebook as a way of connecting and interacting with friends.

Facebook can also be used to grow your business.  Here’s how:

• Claim your free business site – it’s free, and allows you to interact with the more than 350 million people world-wide on Facebook.

• Post good content – prospects and customers only want to see what is important to them.  Company news is not what readers will look at but coupons and giveaways will attract attention.  Videos, photos and articles are also important things to post.

• Join related groups – join groups that contain prospects for your business and those relevant to your industry and its issues. This will allow you to post relevant information and advice on the group pages.  This will help you reach more targeted prospects, build the group and build your brand.  Fresh content keeps you in front of the group as well as updated group lists.

• Advertise – you can run targeted advertising on Facebook, many times at a fraction of the cost of other ad channels.  It’s highly targeted and effective.
