I'm looking at all this hurrah about fan pages and apps etc., which to my mind only complicates the issues and frankly wastes time and effort. Before the advent of “Fan Pages†I used to work with a number of “Pages†each one dedicated to a different website... On one page I listed the page urls and the subject they covered. Periodically in my personal posts on my wall, I'd remind people to visit my pages if they were interested in my areas of interest. On the events posts I'd let people know about specials and sales (All physical products) and the discounts I was offering for the first “X†number of customers.. This worked like a charm especially as I was targeting businesses and trades with tools some worth thousands of dollars so my discounts were just a percentage of my commission. Not once did I ever have a complaint nor was I ever accused of spamming in any way.. I fail totally to see why this would not work again.
Facebook can indeed be all the "hoohar" people make it out to be. If you are having trouble with it, what usually always works for me is to have an hour's length brainstorming session with myself on how i can leverage facebook to my fullest advantage.
Nobody is just going to come out and tell you because that would be giving up their own method. If I was making $1k/day from Facebook why would I want to tell you? So you can come in and take away from my earnings? You guys are probably gonna have to figure this one out on your own.
that's the answer i've been looking for FPforum. i can't seem to find how anybody makes all this money but people sure do talk about how much they make. this makes sense, i haven't seen anyone else say it.
The fact is you need to have good content and also combined the fanpage with Youtube twitter etc to increase traffic.
