10 Things to Post on Your Facebook Business Fan Page, {!firstname}.

It seems so easy – click a few links and hey presto, you have a Facebook fan or business page!

But then comes the hard bit – you need to gain fans, keep them
interested, get them to participate, keep the page going on top of all
your other efforts, don’t let it get dull and boring, not be too self
promotional – AARRGGHHHH!! How on earth can you think of all that AND
run your business?

Well, worry not, here’s a quick list of 10 things you can post on
your Facebook Fan page to keep it interesting and encourage interaction – feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

1) Questions – Update your status each day, but
rather than telling people what you’re doing right now, ask them a
question. It’s clear by looking at the statuses of people on Facebook
(whether individuals ot businesses) that asking a question provides a
massive response. Let your fans and contacts feel involved – ask them a
question related to your business right now.

2) Videos – It doesn’t even have to be your video!
It could be a demonstration video from YouTube, a funny video related
to your industry, or a music video if you like, but video reaches
people that words sometimes don’t. If you have your own video, then
even better; either way, break up the monotony of your page with the
odd video to keep things interesting.

strain. Yet knowing how to effectively Twitter for Business without
annoying people seems to elude even some of the sharpest minds.

Internet Marketing Tip – ASK for ideas {!firstname}!
Orange Tick

At times it can be hard to think of article titles, blog topics, keyphrases, etc etc etc.

So instead of thinking yourself into a coma, ASK. Ask your readers what they want to hear about, ask your clients what phrases they typed in to find you, ask your contacts what they think your should be found for, ask questions on Twitter and blog about the results!
 
Everyone likes to think that their opinion counts – so ASK them and make your and their day!
