Meet Interesting People Just Like You!

Like everyone else, I’ve used Facebook to friend people from High School that I never liked and find relatives that I’ve never met. Not that it hasn’t been fun, but it was a black hole of witty comments and annoying Farmville requests.

I listened to a seminar recently about the advantages of having a Facebook fan page for your business. It’s a place to interact with people and allow them to interact with each other. You can build your own little community around your business.

It allows you to update every one who “likes” you. You can send messages to everyone, which you cannot do as with a personal profile. Because it’s based on your business, people who join it have essentially raised their hand and said “I’m interested in your business. Tell me more.”, so you don’t have to feel funny about trying to sell stuff to your friends.

It should be a party, not an Amway meeting. People should feel free to hang out and talk to each other. You should have chips out and some music playing to make it more comfortable for everyone. Be a good host.

That’s what I am trying to do.

Please check out out my Fan Page for “walton.com” at www.facebook.com/waltoncom. I have a bunch of my personal friends there now, but if more SEO, small business, and Etsy people show up, that will make things more interesting for all of us.

If you’re not sure about Facebook fan pages, or how they could help your business, you can play with this one and see what they do.

I hope that by seeing there are other people just like you, dealing with the same questions and issues, that we can work together to help make us all more successful. If you feel like you’re out in the cold, all alone, come on in and meet some interesting people.

I’d love for you to stop by and see what’s happening. Leave a comment. Meet a new friend. Hang out.

Please click here or on the icon, then click the “like” button when you get there.

I’ll see you there! Thanks for stopping by.
