Hi everyone. I've been MIA for a few months due to medical reasons and life changes. In the meantime, I've been learning and keeping up with my site. No worries! All is clear now, so I'm trying to get back to business.

Start Using Facebook Business Pages Today

I like to share some of the things I've been doing in the meantime. Let's start with Facebook. I created my Facebook Business Page in

April, but until recently, I wasn't committed to growing it. After Halloween, I decided to post regularly and to build my fanbase. This is very important, and I'll tell you why in a moment. November 1st, I had zero followers. My goal is to reach 2000 followers, and so far, I grew it to 1050 in a matter of days. (less than $20 on Ads)

If you aren't utilizing Facebook for your business, then you ought to start today! Here's why...Facebook Developer tools have a lot of cool features, but you can't unlock them until you reach 2000 follows. (That's only one of the benchmarks). Once you hit 2000, you can create your own tabs.

What Does it Mean to Create Your Custom Facebook Tab?

I've already created a tab, but I can't publish it until I get to that threshold. Once it is available, my tab will show up on the left-hand margin underneath my profile. You can link it to your affiliate sites. Hopefully, you can see the potential in that. As always, follow affiliate policies.

What is Another Benefit From Facebook Business Pages

Another benefit is Instant Articles. If you meet all the verified requirements that FB sets, then you can use instant articles found under publishing tools. This means that people can read your post directly from your page without being redirected. Anything that makes it more convenient for your readers is a good thing. Imagine if you have someone showing interest in your post, then they click your link, but it takes longer than three seconds to load. You may have lost a potential prospect.

Use Facebook Creator Studio to Monetize Your Videos

You can earn money with Facebook Videos by:

1. In-stream ads
2. Brand Collaborations
3. Fan subscriptions
4. Monetization Tools Application.

Key Takeaways

These are some of the benefits of creating a Facebook Business Page. You can unlock features in developer tools, publisher tools, and creative studio. I've never provided training here, but I'd like to start. Hopefully, some of you would be interested in learning more about this. Until then...

~To your continued success!
