Using Facebook For Business

August 10, 2011 in Featured, Headline, Social Media


Do you use Facebook socially? It is an easy step to turn it into another way to interact with people who want to find out more about you business. Groups are ideal for your business if you want to promote a membership organisation or club, where as a page is more appropriate for most businesses.

To set up a group, go to http://www.facebook.com/groups/create.php

To set up a page, go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

Once you have finished entering the details you are asked for, add some content. If you have a blog use Networked Blogs to add your blog to your page where the content feds through automatically. Send messages about your page to your friends and ask them to highlight it to people who they think might be interested.

Once you have got a few fans on your page, your messages will be seen by them and, more importantly, by their friends who visit their profiles. Word can spread about your business to people who are contacts of your contacts.

Promote an occasional exclusive offer for you Facebook fans and people will have even more reason to like your page/group.

I couldn’t have done it without the internet!

July 27, 2011 in Become a Mumpreneur, Featured, Headline


How do you identify yourself: mumpreneur, work at home mum or business woman? Whichever of these titles you use, there are more and more women taking advantage of the new technology that is available to set up their own businesses.

There are many reasons why women start up their own businesses; some are bored at home and others want to earn an extra few pounds each month to treat themselves or their families to the extra special treats. Whatever the reason, many women find that there are not many jobs available that fit around family routines and the ones that do are usually low paid and less interesting than running your own enterprise.

So why is the technology that is available today such a big help to women who want to start their own business? Well, having the world at your fingertips through the internet means you can develop your business whenever you have free time. Once you have your business idea, the internet makes it easier for you to reach customers and have an online shop making you money whilst you are otherwise occupied cooking the family meal. I know that I couldn’t have started a PR business from home nor written features and books while my baby napped without the world wide web at my finger tips.

Also through the wonders of networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, you can reach even more potential customers than ever before. We’ve found blogging to be a great way to raise our business profiles. If you want to learn how to blog, try the free ACEBlogger eCourse which sends 21 weekly lessons to your inbox to take you from blogging beginner.
