Once you are familiar with Facebook you should consider creating your very own group.
This way you have full control over the content and discussions that take place and can quickly grow your contact list while promoting your websites and services.
Remember that people will not join a group if they feel they are only being advertised to.
Keep the topics hot and allow free communication, general discussion and get to know your community members. Socializing on Facebook is essential to your marketing success.
Creating a Facebook group to showcase your company, products or services will allow you to create new conversations with existing (and potential) customers.
Better yet, by starting a group, you can send direct emails to your entire community that appears in their Facebook inbox. You can send news and updates to your group as often as you like. In addition, you can create as many groups as you can manage, no limits.
Groups are simply one of the easiest ways to conduct viral marketing within the Facebook community.
Once someone has joined your group they can then in turn, invite their friends to join as well using the build-in invitation feature.
If your group is focused on a hot topic, you can expect your member base to grow quickly (some marketers have groups that consist of 500,000 members or more!).
Another viral aspect of creating your own group is that your group's link will appear in the side-bar profile of every single member who has joined.
Since profile pages are visited frequently, this is a great way to generate a lot of click-throughs to your group and entice new members to join.
One note of caution however; as your Facebook group grows in size you will need to spend more time deleting spam posts that appear on the groups wall.
This can be very time consuming but it is required if you want to keep your group activity clean and user-friendly.
Log into your Facebook account and click on the "Groups" link, then click on "Create A Group".
Enter in a Group Name, Network and Description. You will also have the option to set privileges, such as allowing only administrators to post content or allow all of your members to post freely.
You can also choose to make the group visible only to the networks you belong to, or allow global access.
