Facebook Marketing - social networking at its best
Marketing on Facebook is very complementary to Squidoo. Squidoo puts the emphasis on sharing information about a topic and supports networking through groups. Facebook exists for social networking and supports information exchange through your profile, posts, Facebook applications and RSS feeds.
Facebook marketing is subtle and not as overt as Squidoo marketing. It is however very effective. You can hide yourself on Squidoo but Facebook requires you to show your face. It is a powerful form of permission marketing and the "purple cows" really stand out.
Why not join Facebook and add me as a Friend and we can share info:
Note: You can't actually access Facebook until you join and get your login. Trust me it will change your life! There are lots of fun Facebook applications.

1. Your Facebook Profile
Facebook provides the opportunity to add a very extensive profile covering your interests and background. Your interests, etc. in your profile help to determine who you can access and who can access you.
You can create multiple levels of privacy restrictions on your information. Facebook facilitates social networking because it enables you to share who you are and what you like. If you don't want to share, Facebook is not for you and won't be of any use as a marketing forum. It also not the place for blatant advertising.
2. Your Friends
Like MySpace, Facebook enables you to create friends with whom you can share as much as you want through your posts, profile, applications and RSS feeds. You get to accept or reject friend requests. Friends enable you to share more about what you are doing and what you are interested in. The sharing can be on a much more personal and open level than on MySpace. You can develop strong support relationships and even joint ventures through your friends. You will be amazed with the people you find or who find you - even top internet marketers.
3. Your Posts
You show something of your interests and expertise through your posts which can be via the Facebook posted items application or via posting on someone's Facebook wall. One of the conventions of FaceBook is to share other interesting sites, not just your own.
4. Your Facebook applications
There are over 2,000 Facebook applications that enable you to share information, have fun and learn about other people's likes and dislikes. Choosing the right applications can have a mjor impact on your effectiveness in marketing on Facebook.
5. Your RSS feeds
You can add your RSS feeds from your blogs, news feeds or article feeds to keep Facebook readers up to date.
NB. One of the major unspoken benefits of Facebook is that you can have ready access to some of the top Internet marketers. There are numerous top affiliate marketers on Facebook and if you are accepted as a friend you can message them very easily.

- Business networking on Facebook
- Facebook is the latest 'hot' thing in the Internet world. It's a social networking site that is starting to rival the likes of MySpace and Friendster.
- Potential of Facebook
- Within the community of search engine marketers, a herd mentality definitely exists. When multiple early adapters talk about the same thing at the same time, we all go check it out. In 2006, when Facebook opened to everyone, I signed up, looked around, yawned, and promptly forgot about it. Recently however, many prominent members of the SEO community that I follow and respect all started talking about Facebook simultaneously which told me that I was missing out on an important conversation that I needed to hear and participate in. So, I went back to Facebook, created my page and I now see its enormous potential.
- Facebook: why you need a profile
- Social networking sites like Facebook have drastically changed the way we use the Internet. Online advertising is no exception, as social networks and social media have altered online marketing strategy. This article explores the power of social media marketing (SMM) as well as various ways to connect with Facebook users through this revolutionary advertising medium. The rule of thumb in social media marketing: Connect through content.
- Facebook - a web marketing tool
- Facebook is becoming one of the most important social networks on the web. The company stated that it has now chosen Microsoft over Google to give a $240 million minority stake in a deal to expand advertising services on the network. This will ideally boost revenue for Facebook and increase Microsoft's online advertising position. The Facebook-Microsoft deal will even further expand the business, which will help online businesses to reach more people and promote themselves through new forms of media.
- The SEO Invasion of Facebook
- Within the community of search engine marketers, a herd mentality definitely exists. When multiple early adapters talk about the same thing at the same time, we all go check it out. In 2006, when Facebook opened to everyone, I signed up, looked around, yawned, and promptly forgot about it. Recently however, many prominent members of the SEO community that I follow and respect all started talking about Facebook simultaneously which told me that I was missing out on an important conversation that I needed to hear and participate in. So, I went back to Facebook, created my page and I now see its enormous potential.
- How to Add a Funny Video to Facebook
- You may have noticed many social networking users have integrated funny video content into their profiles to provide a more entertaining experience for people in their friends list. This is a short tutorial to show how you too can add some funny videos to your MySpace, Facebook page or blog.
- Why Widgets Work Wonders for Your Website
- Widgets are the Internet's answer to "knowledge on demand". They are icons that give you easy access to information and areas of interest. Widgets are versatile tools that can be placed on websites, desktops, blogs, profiles and even mobile devices.
