I love Facebook adds. Even though I haven’t got much to sell, I’ve used them a few times just to put a word out. It is so easy to target, that even with the smallest budget, you know you aren’t wasting a cent you aren’t prepared to, and each pair of eye balls that see your add is exactly what you’re looking for – provided they’re not add-blind… But anyway, if you pay for clicks instead of impressions it doesn’t really matter if they pay attention or not.

I also love pages, I’ve got a few of them, even one for my favourite Ken-doll, who already has 12 fans. The beauty of Facebook is exactly the fact that people hang out with people who are interested in the same stuff. Sure there’s a lot of ex-school friends who have nothing incommon with you, but if you would like to get the word out that your village cinema is turning 50 years and has a party, Facebook would be pretty good tool to let everyone you knew back home know about it. It’s brilliant really.

Btw, I found this page through Facebook add.

Perfect explanation and a perfect resource this web site!

I’ve been on Facebook for a while now, but until now I had no clue what it is good for and how I can use it to promote my site. Noone before you was able to write an article I could really understand….

Keep up the good work! You are my inspiration for my future (business) development Thanks!

I think you just helped us finalize our Facebook Fan page strategy. We were looking for a good method to keep things personable and professional at the same time. Facebook can be tricky when it comes to mixing business and pleasure.

Awesome post! I’ve actually asked friends/followers if they’d like me to keep my social media accounts only “business” and they’ve told me they love my friendly, non-business posts and links to be scattered all throughout my other more freelance-related posts, so I’m continuing on as I have been.

That’s definitely something you can do, and is actually done quite often. You can even install certain applications that will pull an RSS feed and place it on your facebook page so it can all be done automatically.

In order for facebook to be successful for businesses, you will have to go in and interact with your fans every once and a while, and possibly give them content they cannot get on the website as well, so they get something out of becoming a fan =)

I like it! My partner and I were debating whether or not to create and maintain a facebook page for our website. I can see how it can increase the traffic, very cool.

We have a separate blog where we post all of our material but could we simply use facebook as an extension of the blog? Meaning, once we add a new post to our blog can we simply copy paste it to facebook?

Hmm…that’s weird. You can try contacting him via twitter. His username is @rowoot.

Hey Pat,

Have you ever had difficulty contacting Michael from VMD? I’ve been using the “Hello” email address on his website, and it doesn’t appear to be working……I sent him an email 2 weeks ago, and again this week, and no response…

hm…love his work and thought he might be a great person to work with…

I love your example fan page.

Facebook is so viral, it’s amazing, I agree! I have made a fan page before but it hasn’t reached out to very many people yet. So I’m hoping one day it will.

Howie, pricing was extremely different. For this blog, it was about $200. For Green Exam, it was pushing $1k. Design process was the same, but the other blog has a lot more features and javascript type stuff going on that isn’t done here.

Hey Pat,

I see that a different design company created your “Green Exam Academy” blog/website (Blazer Six, Inc.)…..do you like them better than what Vision Master Designs did? (I think they both did a GREAT job…)….

Was there pricing/ the design process alot different?

Great post, Pat. I’ve been thinking of doing this for a while with a couple of my websites and I think this post and just given me a shove forward. Thanks!

Pat, awesome article! I am proud to be among your early FB fans

And I will definitely be setting up my own FB Fan Page soon for Engaged Marriage. I agree with your statement above that it is important to keep your business FB activity separate from your personal stuff, so your friends don’t think you are some kind of spammer!

Is that the theme you currently use, for this blog, Pat?….have you had experience using several different themes….? do you have a favorite? (I’m guessing…your current one?) lol

Hey Steve, you definitely can’t beat the price

Hey Howie,

When I began working with Michael from VMD, I actually found him on elance.com. He was a reasonably low bidder for the project I posted (not the LOWEST bidder), and so after I awarded him the project, we basically spoke via email, and then migrated to gmail chat because it was real time. I gave him examples of websites I liked and features I liked from each, and he basically did the rest. We chatted every few days to see the progress, and eventually it was done.

As far as the DIYTheme you’re talking about, “Thesis” is the name of the actual theme, and I have indeed purchased it before. It’s good, and comes with many features, but everyone and their mom has it. It’s up to you though. Hope that helps!

Hey Pat! Interesting and useful post as always. I’ve been looking into facebook for a little while now trying to find the best way to approach it with my content. After reading your post today and some additional readings I did prior to this, I would have to say that going with a fan page is a excellent way to reach more people with my content. Best of all – it’s free to setup!

When you began working with Vision Master Designs, if you don’t mind me asking, how did the process move forward? Did you just email him? Meet on a forum?….

Now that my blog’s Logo is nearing completion, I’ve been contemplating my next step….it’s a little intimidating with a million and 1 different WordPress themes/designers to choose from…I had initially wanted to do the coding “in-house”…I bought book after book about XHTML and CSS…..

….and, one last thing…hm…I know it may be personal to say exactly how much you paid….but, is $500-$1,000 reasonable for a custom design?….

I have read so many awesome things about THIS wordpress theme….

http://diythemes.com/

ever hear about it? It actually taughts itself more as an “SEO optimized framework” rather than just a “WordPress” theme…
