Advertising and Networking through Facebook

**Mediamind** · 04-10-2008 11:35 PM

I recently joined Facebook and I am starting to see how their system can be optimized for a business. The actual Facebook ads don't seem to gain too much attention. Asking around only about 1 out of my 45 friends on Facebook actually ever clicked on an ad. I think the trick on Facebook is to set up a group for your business and as people become fans or members, it becomes relatively easy to hook new members. I havent tried it out yet and if any of you guys have any feedback or suggestions, I plan on keeping an ear to the ground.

hmmm intresting, and starting a group on facebook is free, you just have to promote the heck out of it. I wonder how much people spend on advertising a month through facebook or google?

I am sure quite a bit. I know corporate profiles on Facebook can run into the 6-figures!

On another forum I'm on, the admin, Edward, knows how to get $250 in free Facebook ads. If you are serious about advertising on Facebook, head over to the TeenBusinessForum and ask him about it, he's really helpful.
