Editor's Notes

- It’s meant to connect and interact with other people.
- Facebook has created a system where ads are more relevant and actually enhance instead of interrupt the user experience. This is achieved by through the feature called the “News Feed”, which enables peer recommendations and actvely to be subtly branded and spread from one person to all of his or her friends, to all of their friends, and so on. It’s a way for business to connect with customers, it is quickly moving from a nice to have element in your business outreach strategy.
- 600 million active users (as of Jan 2011)50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day- Average user is connected to 80 community pages, groups and events

- Facebook offers many ways to get the word out and bring the people in. Here’s how toget started.
- Facebook Statistics, Stats and Facts for 2011 are starting to roll out, and here is the first infographic to wrap them all up thanks to Online Schools. With over 500 million users, Facebook is now used by 1 in every 13 people on earth, with over 250 million of them (over 50%) who log in every day. The average user still has about 130 friends, but that should expand in 2011. 200 are in US.48% of 18-34 year olds check Facebook when they wake up, with 28% doing so before even getting out of bed.

- Think chamber mixer. What is the first thing you do when you go to a chamber mixer? Someone always says, get a drink! Yes, but really it’s to introduce ourselves to someone new. Do you say, “Hey, buy my stuff!”? Social media is not any different. Philosophy is the same – you meet new people, you ask questions, and you listen. You decide if you ‘re going to be friends, if you can do business together or if you have be a referral source for one another.
- Traditional marketing tells us the more people we have access to, the more they will hear our message. Wrong! You can pay a service to give you fans. The key is to start conservations, networking and building relationships. Think of the guy at the chamber mixer who everyone hates to see coming their way and they avoid because they are stuck listening to how great he is and never asks questions about you. He takes your card and then spams your constantly.
- We all want to do business with people we like. It doesn’t matter if you have 30 followers of 30,000.
- Do this yourself for your business, get trained or hire someone to do it. Have a process. Social media is instant. It’s immediate and not much of an approval process.
