Facebook business pages are a low-risk way for you to market your business. All you need is a profile photo and a cover photo for your page and you're ready to go. You should add your full contact details to the About page right away, but you can incorporate further information, such as Awards and Products, later.
Success is the sum of details. - Harvey S. Firestone
Since you don't need to invest a huge amount of time to start, a Facebook page is a must for any business. But creating a business page is only the first step. Next you must focus on creating a community of Facebook followers who appreciate your posts and find them valuable.
Success is the sum of details
Marketing on Facebook is an ongoing task. My experience suggests that posting something small every day is a guaranteed way to achieve big results.
Enjoy creating Facebook ripples
You should be able to prepare an effective post in ten or fifteen minutes, assuming you have good ideas of what to post. If you share content that's informative or entertaining, you will gain followers naturally. And natural growth - or organic growth - is free. The idea is to create a ripple effect, where the friends of those who like your posts carry on liking, commenting and sharing. Soon your post may be seen by thousands of followers.
Get your hands on some Facebook Inspiration
It's fun to create and share content on Facebook. You can easily experiment with posts, to find out what generates the most interest and business enquiries. If you don't know what to write about, you may benefit from my soon-to-be-published book called Facebook Inspiration: 30 days of creativity for your page. The butterfly image and quote above is one of the colourful pages you'll find inside.
