    be careful asking people to share a page with all their contacts. They are likely to get their personal page taken away from them. Happened a few times when I was promoting my group

    It sounds like it's actually worth using a combination of pages and groups. The key here really will be creating a group people actually want to join, there's no point spending effort in creating a group unless if will actually be effective. There is a lot of competition on facebook, so unless you're hooking into something people are interested in you'll find it difficult.

    Post interesting stuff in the page and share it so it could be seen in your friends' newsfeed. If there are plenty of "likes" and comments in it, it would pop as a highlight and appear for a relatively long time in people's homepage.

    Also, get your friends to repost for you.

    That was a good point raised before - Facebook Groups reveal who the owner is, and there's no way to hide it. So, if you don't want your personal user profile showing up as the group admin on the sidebar, you'll want to get a Facebook page instead.

    Always choosen a fan instead of group, much easier to promote and usually gets more members.

    You are right Facedown_pogi. So here are few pieces of advice for you.

    First, you need to know that what niche do you want a fan page for and what kind of business you do? Do you want fan page for a brand or to promote your small business?

    Depending on your niche, you would need applications to draw fans to your fan page.

    I own a successful fan page for my business with the help of involvesocial.com

    They hold expertise in fan page applications. They develop fan pages and its applications according to your desire and even maintain it. And the best part is that they even get you fans for your fan page by marketing and promoting your fan page. The range of 360,905 to 520,026 fans which you have defined can easily be pursued at reasonable rates.

    Definetly Facebook Pages, they are indexed by search engines, you can add multimedia rich content, use html to customize it,
    even add an opt-in form and gather leads.
    Promotion.....market your page in relevant Facebook groups, offer incentives to join your page,
    make an engaging landing page/tab for nonfans, post regularly useful content, start prize drawings,
    events, crosspromotion with other pages, promote on your websites and other soacial accounts,
    create apps and of course invite friends:D

    Using them both will never lose you results. :) As long as you share relevant information and that you have your powerful networks, it's easy to spread the word to your market and also target them to get through earning an income from making sales.

    Remember to stick on your niche and gather your targeted audience needing your information so you can ensure great results from them as well.

    if you need to promote your business from a facebook fan page, you need to get more fans, for that spending some money is not wasting. Advertise on facebook and get some fans, more likely they are not just fans, but targeted fans, so you'll get what you want.

    Yes I agree, since Facebook has disabled the suggest to friends option on fan pages, the only option left to promote your fan page is Viral Marketing.

    Yes, viral marketing is the only option for you right now to target more and more number of eyeballs possible to view and like your fan page. Just post some good attractive image alongwith title and content on your fan page wall. Then share and tag it with your friends, so it appears on their walls as well as their homepages. Whatever appears on their homepages will also be displayed on their friend's homepages too ;)
