    Default Is anyone on Face Book

    I have just set up a business page for my business on Face Book. Not much yet but will work on it over the next couple of days. Have alook at it and let me know what you think

    http://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/?...5048697?v=wall

    If you like it click on the "Like" button. Not sure how much value a Face Book page is but I guess it is worth a try. Set up a link back to Indy on it just now plus some to my site.

    Anyone got any tips for me?
    Cheers

    Maybe that is my login I copied the link from. You need to be on Face Book to see it I guess

    Thanks mate. I see you have quite a few people signing on. I looked for a way to do the same but for the life of me could not find it on your page. How did you do it on mine?

    I think the real benefit of it is the link value. As each person joins your page it becomes a link on theirs and other people will come to you via that link as well as bots. Not to mention that it may actually generate business. I wi;ll monitor on Google analytics to see juts how many actually come to my page via FB

    I haven't done much with mine yet. I attended a breakfast which was set up by NEIS on social networking sites and as much as I hate to say it,the advertising power of them is pretty impressive. There was to much info to get through in a couple of hours so they have scheduled a full day seminar on Social Media Marketing next week,will report back with any tips I pick up.

    I had one but shut it down. I didnt want potential or current customers wanting to be my friend! I certainly didnt want anyone reading or looking at photos on my personal FB page.
    I realise there are privacy settings but I didn't want people looking at my profile pic and my "creator name" isnt what customers know me by.

    Not sure how well it will work with Google but would be interesting if you could let us know Bluey!

    Mick you can set one up purely as a business page. I have a personal FB page and just set up the business one. Try this link

    http://www.facebook.com/pages/create...gall&extra_1=0

    You will need a separate email address to your personal FB page and don't link this one to your personal page. On the business page you don't become friends you just "join" it.

    Hey Stripes how did you manage to get a category and extra contact info on the Info tab on your page. Yours is different to mine and I am struggling to find out why.

    They are set up differently, Bluey yours is set up as a group, that people "join", courty and mine are set up as pages that people "like".

    I actually have two. One is a page, and one is a group as AndyB said. You can join one, or Like the other. I started on the page but couldn't be bothered doing much more with it.
