Introduction
This book will give you the essential information you need in order to prepare, to plan, and to launch marketing campaigns on Facebook that will help you to generate leads, to find new customers, and ultimately to make more sales.
Social media undoubtedly can make a difference in your profits.
Perhaps you want to launch a Facebook business page, or maybe you already have tried and are just not seeing the results you were hoping for. Every day hundreds of people begin their own social media journeys, excited about the potential this new form of marketing has to offer to help build their businesses. This may be their first attempt at establishing a Facebook business page; for others, it’s a second or even third try. Some people get it right; they increase their revenues quickly, almost effortlessly, harnessing the power of the internet to sell beyond their wildest dreams. However, for most of us, this is not the case. Many of us struggle to make the internet work for us. In many cases, the reason we struggle is because we have little or no understanding of the intricate details and strategies involved that compound over time to make a big difference in the long term. A big mistake many often make is not learning from experts in the field before they start marketing and spending money.
Many of us just launch headfirst into a marketing campaign with no planning or strategy and no clear picture of what we want to achieve. If we’re lucky, we get a like
or follow
button added to our website, we invite customers and friends to join our Facebook page, and then we begin posting updates. Eventually, however, we realize that all our effort and enthusiasm is having little to no effect on our sales figures. Increased likes and followers rarely morph into increased sales without a clear idea of exactly what it is that we’re trying to accomplish.
It’s important that we convey our vision to our audience of potential customers the first time they see us in a compelling way.
Many simply give up when the hoped-for miracle doesn’t appear. Others just keep on keeping on, trusting that someday their social media sites will magically begin to work for them, even as they cast about for a solution to their marketing dilemma.
Once you become familiar with the basics of Facebook advertising and follow the simple steps to get your account up and running, you’ll be ready to tell the world about your product and watch you traffic and sales rise.
It’s time for you to join the digital advertising age. Just follow this simple guide and you’ll be on your way to reaching potentially millions of new customers where they spend their time online: on Facebook.
Chapter 1: Understanding Facebook Marketing
Facebook is one of the largest social network platforms in the world with at least more than 1.30 billion active users, meaning that about 62% of user’s log into Facebook daily, a fact that makes it such a dynamic marketing platform.
Even with the widespread use of Facebook for marketing purposes, only about 45% of business owners have reported success with their Facebook marketing efforts, according to a survey carried out by Social Media Examiner. Business owners therefore need to understand the strategies and practices capable of granting them a positive return on investment
