Most of you must be already using Facebook , but still there
are many people who do not use Facebook. Many people say that Facebook is not
safe and that was the reason, I was also not joining Facebook. But Facebook is
the world of opportunities. So, join it if you are seriously interested in
marketing by Social Media.
Joining is very simple, just fill up the Sign up page and
you are ready to share your thoughts with the Facebook world.
After joining Facebook, you can invite your friends
from your mail addresses, this is also
safe.
Search the friends you already know, from the search box, enter
their name in the search box at the top of the Facebook and you will get many people
from the list of search results which are of similar name of your friends. Reading the 'about' section of their profile, will give you the info about the right profile you are searching for.
Don't forget to send a personalized private message with your friend's request. Just add a few lines about why do you wish to become friend of a particular person. This will build the trust and it will be easy for the people to accept your friend's request. If they don't know you already, by your message they won't feel anything wrong or suspicious about your intention to become their friends. Celebrities, political leaders, journalists, or anybody who has too many friend's requests, for them it become easy to accept your request, as they know your intention by your personal message.

Don’t take the risk to send request to too many friends,
Facebook may think as attempt of spamming or if anybody complains your ‘Sending
request’ facility may get banned for seven days or one month.
Then update your info, your education, your work, your
interest. Do fill all these sections , because Facebook is your virtual
personality, just like our personality makes an impression on others minds, your Facebook profile is what people going
to see before making you as a friend. So your first impression should be very
professional, unique. Add your website, this will drive traffic to your website.
One section in Your Info is ‘Favourite Quotations’, add some
motivational quotes, that you really believe, which will spark in the minds of your friends, or anybody who
is connecting with you for business purpose or friendship.
Then comes your ‘Account Settings’ . You can find them at the top right corner, near ‘Home’
Section,
Carefully set the Account Settings.

For now, focus on building your online identity. Build relation of trust by posting on your
wall, interacting with your friends. Those who like your status, link or video,
don’t forget to thank them. Politeness and Thanksgiving are the best means to
build the true friendship. People in
your network are becoming your friends, don’t
think them as your customers from the beginning. Read posts from your
friends, like them, comment them. If you see a nice pic, so cool update which
made you smile, some inspirational post, share them on your timeline, give
thanks to the person who posted it. This
is all the the beginning of Facebook Marketing.
Remember, in marketing, first you are marketing yourself,
then your skills and finally your product. So, by joining Facebook you are
making friends, you are marketing yourself.
