 It’s amazing how fast facebook gained so much popularity. It was founded only on February 4, 2004, but now there are millions of people who actively connect with each other every day. But do you know that there’s more to it than just connect and socialize with people? Almost everybody actually knows this, especially internet marketers.
If you’re not an internet marketer or just a newbie, let me be the first to tell you that it’s one effective way to promote your business and gain popularity. It’s also one of the cheapest ways to promote and drive traffics to your website. Internet marketers know this and recognize its effectiveness in driving traffic to their website and in generating income streams.

Because of its effectiveness, many online marketers use it not just to socialize but primarily to promote their business. However, bear in mind that facebook is primarily a social media—an avenue where people get to communicate and share their ideas and experiences although a lot of people view it as one good place to market.
If you know nothing about facebook or if you’re not a member yet, well it’s time for you to get yourself familiarize with it and register. The first thing that you should do is to visit the site. Get yourself informed of the rules and conditions attached with your membership.
This is important in order to avoid mistakes and some surprises. The next thing to do is to set up your own account. Then fill up your profile and make it attractive by giving information about yourself. Having set up your profile, it’s now time to search for friends and acquaintances and invite them.
But setting up a facebook account is one thing, and promoting your business using it is another thing. Here’s how to sell to your friends on facebook, but on a subtle way. As mentioned earlier, it is a social media, a place where people meet old and new friends and share ideas and experiences.
It follows therefore that you must socialize with them and share your ideas and experiences with them as well. Forget about marketing for the meantime. Focus your mind first in establishing yourself as a person who wants to develop friendship with people and help them in the process. Your purpose here is to gain their trust and confidence with the end motive of selling your product.
But let me tell you that even though this is your motive, you must be sincere as well. Although it is a well known fact that many facebook members register with the hope to sell their product, this motive must however be presented discreetly and not blatantly. Just place yourself in the shoes of your friends.
You’ll surely be annoyed if people just want to make friends with you because they want to sell you something. This is also the same for them. Make sure also that you update your profile regularly. Give fresh information about yourself. Lastly, post your own picture on your profile so that the people you invite and those who want to invite you will at least believe that you’re a real person and not a fictitious one.
This is also in line with the idea that facebook is an online place to socialize. So socialize with your friends on facebook.
