Not only does having a facebook account benefit your business for likes and comments, but it can also help you grow your list for internet marketing.
By using the facebook fan page tabs system you can set up a page that welcomes your facebook fan page visitors. This welcoming page can actually do a lot in terms of internet marketing. For starters you can ask them to ‘like’ your facebook fan page. When you do this you can use a graphic that points to the like button at the top of the page. You can also ask them to ‘like’ you in return for something.
Facebook Fan Page Fan Gate
The fan gate option allows you to show certain content on your page for visitors who like you, and visitors who have yet to like you. For new visitors you can show the ‘like’ us graphic, and those who do like you, you can show a link to a download or other certain information. Businesses use this to grow their likes while at the same time getting entries for giveaways, giving away a free report, or revealing something else to visitors.
Set Up Your Facebook Fan Page
There is a free way to set up your Facebook fan page and fan gate. You can use Pagemodo.com to do it. They allow you to do one page (and fan gate content) through their service before you have to upgrade your account. If you are only doing one business through your facebook account, this will work great for you.
Pagemodo also gives you free templates to use so this is super easy.
Facebook Fan Page Fan Gated Content
There are a lot of options for what to put on your page. If you are a local business you have the option to add sales codes, give discounts through your website, or giving a printable coupon. You might also consider a free guide for your visitors based on your niche. By using your website you can have a link to the downloadable item that shows up once they have ‘liked’ you.
Setting up your facebook fan page is just one more way to get the most out of your web presence to market to your customers. Go ahead and set it up and see for yourself.
