    Hello,

    Yes, I believe Facebook to be an important tool in business. It can do many things that other ad delivery platforms cannot do.

    Specifically, demographic, interest, and behavior targeting.

    A basic how-to, would be to create a business page, throw up some posts a couple times a day, then begin to use their ad platform.

    You are right, one of my friends started off his business by looking for potential sale on his friend's list, and eventually making profits.

    You can create FB page and then promote it like an AD on FB . It's not too expensive I thing about 5 dollars or so but your page will show up to peoplee intrested in your business. Then you can share it on twitter google + etc. I hope I helped you for a bit

    Generating online sales is the best use of Facebook for business purpose. This way of using Facebook for business advertising has proven to be very successful for countless of companies. And when you do it, you’ll get the results right away. Just compare how much you spend on Facebook ads to the revenue and you’ll know whether or not you need to tweak your campaign in any way.

    Well if you are all dependent on Facebook to start your business and make money, I dont think its a good idea, since FB will not get you much of revenue what rest of the online marketing would do for you. Facebook can be a platform to advertise and market your business, but making money for your business on facebook is much of a gain.

    You have a lot of friends on Facebook, but I can see where you might want more, especially if your Facebook use is related to business. Since you are not looking for 'real friends' but only people to market to, you could try getting into some of those 'add me' Facebook groups, where people ask each other to add them as friends for whatever reason. There will be many who will add you there.

    Jmor,

    Here's a few steps to give you an idea of how it works.
    Create a business page, add cover photo, add a profile pic, put all your business info on it. Like address, phone number, website url, etc
    Add a couple posts to start off with.
    Go to your personal page and invite your friends to like your business page.
    Then run an ad with FB, targeting your niche and city. I use 25 mile radius
    Every time people see your posts from your business on their wall they will call you when they need your service.
    Pretty simple

    You means Business. So first you need a broader knowledge of Facebook. You need to know Affiliated Marketing. You also need to know how to build an effective, analytical Pages. On the other hand always try to learn the Organic techniques. Dont concentrate in any black hat techniques.
