    This will get your account blocked by Facebook!

    For business promotion you MUST use a Facebook Page (or Facebook Ads) otherwise your account will get shut down. Facebook only allow business stuff on Pages (not personal profiles)

    Facebook is a great way to market your company, how does a small shop or company start? By telling family and friends. One turns to another, then another and before you know it a multitude of contacts, it is the best way to get your message in their face while sitting in front of the television. The more fans you have the more that are added by themselves because they see you on their friend's accounts. Do updates with link backs to your site and you'll see consistent traffic.

    All you really need is a fan page. But you probably want a website too. The facebook fan page should send people to your website.

    Don't try to create a personal account and ad 5000 users there. Create a page and start right.

    Also, all you need is a simple website (I use self hosted wordpress for most). That way your facebook fans can find your website and you can have full control of the content on your website. Facebook pages have some limitations and you don't want to have only a facebook page...

    Here some easy steps you should follow:
    1. Create a Facebook business page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php (read this tutorial: How to create a Facebook page)
    2. Add some content, describe your business, and share it with your friends and colleges. They should "Like" it since Facebook is all about fans.
    3. Now you should make a page which will generate you more sales. You should add a FBML application to your page tab and create a good looking custom landing page. (tutorial: How to create a FBML page).
    4. Dont forget to make your landing page primary for visitors so they will get directly to your attractive landing page instead of a Wall. (tutorial: How to make a custom FBML landing page.)

    Jo Barnes (up and coming UK Internet Marketer) has a great free video series which steps you through how to create a Facebook Fan Page for your online or offline business and boost your fans. Also some free fan page templates thrown in. I think she is going to start to charge for this video series soon so get it whilst you can for free.

    Create a business fan page, post updates to it each day or weekly on various topics regarding your niche. Items like news updates, current trends, promotions, etc. are all good tools to use. This is a great way to spread the word about your product or service.

    Surely you can only consider the Facebook fan page as a splash landing page. You still NEED a website.

    I have a promotion going on but I barely got any visitor from them. I even tried FB promotions where I bid for $2 per click.

    Facebook can generate sales, leads, and visitors if you do it properly according to your business. But it's all come down to finding quality member and be active on whatever you do on your ads
