Social networking sites are great tools for home based business owners or online marketers and since Facebook is one of the most popular websites on the internet it seems like a logical conclusion that you should be marketing your business pretty heavily on the popular site. However, as someone who has tried just about everything to get Facebook to work for my business I can tell you that our efforts are probably better spent elsewhere online.PAeFree Articles Directory | Hostsee.com This is not to say that Facebook isn't a great website and you shouldn't have one for your business. I believe that every business should have a Facebook page. However, it is never going to be your main source of marketing online because it's simply not set up that way. It's not a website that is great for marketing and that is by design. The creators of Facebook don't want it to be a marketing website it is a social website and they want to keep it that way. A prime example of that is that you can't add as many friends as you want to add in one day. While sites like MySpace allowed you to add as many people as you wanted in a single day Facebook is really strict about that. If it seems like you're just trying to add anyone and everyone they will shut you down.PAeFree Articles Directory | Hostsee.com Also, Facebook is a website where people like to relax and put their guard down. It's not a place where people are generally thinking about business. They're talking to their friends, that kid they went to 3rd grade with and their boyfriends and girlfriends... they're not thinking about a home based business they're thinking about what that cute guy just put on his wall. Of course some people are on Facebook with business in mind but mostly people are just there to socialize.PAeFree Articles Directory | Hostsee.com That fact mixed with the fact that Facebook is just not set up to be a marketing site make it hard to really get a ton of marketing done. Can you do a little? Yes. But is it extremely effective? No.PAeFree Articles Directory | Hostsee.com All in all you can spend a little bit of time on Facebook but if you're looking to market on a social site YouTube and Twitter are far more useful.PAeFree Articles Directory | Hostsee.com
