Why Need A Facebook Fan Page

Facebook fan page simply mean a profile designed for business, organisation, group or band rather than for individuals. Facebook fan page is built on 'likes' and 'share'. when a visitor like or share a link or post, all of their friends will see it through their news feed. This help a business to be better expose to a much bigger and larger online community. Other benefits include:

Unlimited fans
In facebook fan page, you don't accept people as friend rather they ' like' your page and this make them to systematically subscribe to all your updated posts. The people that like your page are called your ' fans' not your  ' friends' as in facebook profile account. One of the advantages of facebook fan page over profile account is that you can have unlimIted number of fans unlike the personal/profile account which you are limited to 5000 friends.


    
                                      

Safe
Unlike the personal account where people have access to your profile. Facebook fan page is safe because your personal profile is not available or accessible to externals.

As a marketing medium
Facebook is simply good to get your business or product in front of millions of people within a short period of time with less or zero advertising cost. When you post contents and your fans like it, this will get to their wall and will be seen by all their friends and their friends can also like it and share it with their friends and the process continue like that. This may lead to a massive traffic and awareness to the product or business you are marketing.

Indexed by search engines
Search engine are online platform such as google.com, yahoo.com, bing.com and wikipedia.com that we use to search for information on the internet. I know people think that it is only blogs or websites that are index by search engine but i can authoritatively inform you that fan pages are also indexed by search engines. Though, to take advantage of this indexing, your page must be regularly visited with large/massive number of fans.

It can perform multiple tasks
Facebook fan page can also performed some functions performed by websites and blogs in the sense that you can post and link to other sites including videos. You can also put the link to your affiliate market products or link to your blog or sales page to drive massive traffic to your business. It can also serve as a medium to interact and entertain your fans as well as passing some important information which are not business like. Politicians and those that need people's support can use it as a propaganda medium.

Drive traffic to your website or blog
You can drive unlimited traffic from your facebook page to your website or blog by linking to your website or blog from your business fan page. Write articles or contents and put the link to your site at the bottom or ask them to follow the link in order to finish the reading of the content. You can also input a facebook widget on your website or blog to link to your facebook fan page.

To meet up with or beat the competitors
Many of your rivals are now creating and building a market through facebook fan page. Your rivals are not fools, they quite know what they are gaining from facebook fan page and their target for the future. It is better you join the trend earlier as catching up with them will difficult if not impossible.

It is absolutely free
Though fan pages perform some functions similar to blog and website but it is free, easy to set up, simple to use and maintain. It is free in the sense that unlike blogs or websites where you pay to get your domain name, you don't have to pay to get your domain or URL name e.g facebook.com/letgoonline. it is simple to set up because you don't need to have all those technical skill in HTML or Java to set up or design your page as this has already been customized for users. It is simple to maintain because you don't have to pay for your domain hosting unlike in blog or website where one of the least fee you can get for hosting is 4 dollars per year if am right. Google host for free if you buy your domain name from them, though.
