The SCARY Truth About FACEBOOK Marketing...

    :) FACEBOOK is quite an amazing resource if effectively used. But that is where majority of individuals fail to do; they fail to exploit FACEBOOK's endless amount of open holes. And on top of that I see individuals running out and purchasing ebooks about FACEBOOK marketing that dish out lies and fluff (mainly lies...)

    For example I picked up an ebook recently speaking about email marketing and facebook and it was an entire package about just that. So naturally I try it out and low-and-behold my facebook fan page that reached almost 9k or so fans and was removed and my account was eventually banned, permanently.

    The scary truth about FACEBOOK marketing is that they absolutely do not want anyone to use their network to build an email list and they will ban anyone who gets caught (and eventually they all do...)

    I just felt I should tell someone so they do not go down the same path I did. It's not fun.

    Oh and a quick tip: always have at least three (3) admins per group/page.

    That's it for now good luck with your FACEBOOK marketing ventures :)

    Well Facebook just doesn't want users to create fan pages and other pages based solely on the idea of marketing a product or service. They want users to be able to honestly communicate to each other on what they like and dislike.
