Facebook Fan Page

My task for today was going to be a very simple one, set up a Facebook fan page for my WA business and so I can promote to all my friends and family without promoting through my personal FB account. Makes perfect sense, right?

I have over 500 FB friends so I wanted to convert some of these people over but I didn't want to make it seem I was asking a personal favour. Anyway I'm getting away from the point.

This is my new Facebook fan page: https://www.facebook.com/HomeBizUni

It was expected to be a five minute activity that I could do between more important tasks today because it would be so simple. Not how it worked out. I have decided it is easier to design and build a Wordpress website than a FB fan page and will endeavour to never, ever go through this process again.

It's funny how I perceive myself as being quite cluey with computers and their workings but then when you confront me with a simple form that is not logical to me, my brain is instantly fried for the day. So now that I have made my little FB page, I feel I need a cup of tea and a good lie down, which is not exactly what is going to happen, but I will change my focus for a little while until I forgive FB for hurting my brain.

Thanks for reading. Please check out my FB page and join the community if you would like to stay in touch :)

Peace,
jo

well she looks very happy all the best

Thanks mate, she is a happy little soul :)

I laughed reading your post as I also have a fan page that has nothing to do with my niche and it took me weeks to set it up. Yup, wordpress is easier to do.

From experience with a fan page fb, since your are the administrator, I suggest your logo picture be one of you and not the rose. People like to know who they are dealing with.

There are strategic ways of promoting your page and one of them is no more than 2 posts a day and one should be around 8:30 or 9:00 am and the second one around 7 pm as these are considered peek hours. I took a look at your fan page and you are missing one element, we cannot access your website from your page as there is no mention of it and when I clic on the title of your post, it does not redirect me. Your fan page should be used to generate traffic towards your website.

You can also link it to twitter but I have found that twiiter is paramount for news flashes but very week when selling products.

It will take you up to a year to build traffic and will be important to interac with your visitors.

Hope this helps you and your fan page is very nice. Confrats on your work.

Thanks Annick for all the help, I changed the pic and posted a link to my webpage but I don't really want to do that every day, well the posting the link bit, so not sure what to do there. My Twitter following is pretty pathetic I think I'll leave that out of it ;)
You've been such a great help, thank you :)

You tackled the problem and got resolution. As long as you go forward you will get closer and closer to success!

Thank you, I hope you're right :)

I have no friends on facebook. I have actually never signed up for facebook. So an honest guestion, will facebook help promote my company?

It can. It would probably help to start a personal page first to get a "feel" for how it all works. You'll have no problem getting Facebook friends with the community here :)

I would rather not mix personal with business. So if I were to start a facbook account it would be solel to promote my business. I am very computer literate other wise. just wondering if it would be a good business tool

solely* sorry its late...

Hi Loretta,
I'm fairly new to this whole thing but something Google+ teaches me most days is "Don't fix what ain't broken". I keep trying to use it as a social media tool but I don't understand it, don't really know anyone on it and it just confuses me and slows every morning down. If you have no other form of promotion and you want to choose FB go for it, learn all about it and use it as a tool, otherwise I'd leave it alone. It's difficult, very spammy and on its way out as the fashionable social media tool. I have tried it out because it's free and I already have about 600 friends on FB and wanted to use up all my favours there.
My understanding is Google+ is the new "cool toy" so if you don't use social media already, I'd go there and learn everything I could about that one, It has outsmarted me, but I will come back and try it again when I've mastered the other social media tools I've used for years.
IMHO
Peace
Jo

I will take your advice because I was never a fan of facebook, I dont like the idea of posting my life online, and not making a profit from it! If it could help my online business then for sure i would consider it. thanks for the blog

I did too. The page looks good. Well done!

Thanks Susan :)

Gave your page a like!

Cheers much!

I like Home Business University

Thanks heaps :)

I loved the picture is the child yours or some one else all the best

She is my little bubba, Jade Katana, she will be 16 months in 2 days. I put her on the cover to encourage me to spend more time on that page ;)

I gave your page a like :)

Thanks Steve, appreciate it, I am hoping it will become a useful resource page when I get over my fear of it ;)

I got a bit of a chuckle out of this. WordPress sites are easier to build:)

So true Steve, you couldn't have told me this before today, but sheesh, my head hurts from trying to out think FB. Sad but true ;)
