Are you ready to get a fresh start with Facebook? Want to get more leads, generate more exposure for your business and build better partnerships online? I am going to share with you 28 tips you can implement over the next 28 days to help you get exactly what you want out of Facebook without spending tons of money and time...You’ll discover some of the very best strategies that actually work on Facebook So you can begin to turn Facebook into a lead generating sales machine!
About a year and a half ago I decided to take the plunge and star t building my home business online. The fact that I had no clue what I was doing, or that I had not yet generated a single lead on the Internet didn’t deter me - All I knew was that I needed to find a way to build a better business and tap into a larger pool of prospects. I needed to find a way to WIN and I was going to do whatever it took to succeed as an entrepreneur. (It’s just the athlete in me!) I will never forget my mentor saying ..........................................................................................
If you don’t have leads - you don’t have a business...and if you don’t have any one to promote your business to - you can’t make a sell. ..........................................................................................
I quickly realized that leads were the lifeline of my business and without them my business was on the fast track to failure. BUT what I had to figure out is, how to actually generate leads and convert those leads into profits? I’m about to share with you a marketing plan that will solve your biggest dilemma - generating leads online. This 28-day marketing map is going to outline some of the best strategies that have been proven to work for getting leads on Facebook.
With the right how-to, anyone can start generating leads and building their brand on Facebook. Turn the page to find out how.
As a serious business owner it is important to find out what works and what doesn’t - quickly. I mean really, who has time and money to waste on marketing methods that don’t bring results.
Your business is your # 1 priority! The number one reason people are failing on Facebook: Their business needs leads. But the average business building online is using Facebook the wrong way. So after spending hours and hours online, “thinking what you’re doing will explode your business,” you look up 30, 60, 120 days later tired, frustrated and still lead-less. NO leads, No customers, No booming business... Why? Because so many people jump into Facebook, drawn by the hype and popularity of this social media bohemoth, with no guidance, no strategy, no game plan....and they end up with no results. Then they conclude that Facebook is nothing but a big waste of time. Facebook is a goldmine, a free marketing tool for businesses, marketers and brands to monetize social media. 845 million people are on Facebook - your customers and potential partners are hanging out on Facebook.
Your target market is...you got it...on Facebook! Look, contrary to what you may feel, Facebook is not as intimidating as you might think. If you commit to starting small and to starting the right way Facebook will be the game changer you expected...and much more. That is the reason why I created Facebook Leads Factory - a step by step guide to navigating Facebook. To succeed at anything you have to have a map. A map let’s you know exactly where you’re starting and where you are going - and if you know your final destination on Facebook you can begin to take the correct actions to accomplishing your goals, which is why I put together this 28Day Marketing Map for you.
28 days of manageable steps
you can take toward generating more leads, making more sales and creating more profits for your business - all from Facebook. Take it one day at a time and before the month is up you’ll find you have a whole new business!

Build A Strong Your Bio Before you start connecting and adding fans to your Page, you want to create a strong Facebook profile. Why? Your info page is not just where your Facebook fans come if they want to learn more about you, it’s a prime opportunity to give people a compelling reason as to why you are someone they NEED to be connected to.

SEO Your Bio Speaking of keywords, depending on the type of Facebook Page you create, you’ll be presented with options for filling out your information. So many times I come across pages and profiles that are not complete and don’t contain targeted keywords that attract the
traffic. Don’t make the same mistake. Use this opportunity to share exactly what you do, make sure to include target keywords based on your industry and let people get a full understanding of what your brand and business are all about. What makes Facebook so cool and convenient is that it can be used like a mini-website. People can actually see your content on the search engines without having a Facebook account themselves - making it easy for you to promote your business.

For a sample social media calendar, see this Google doc. Use a platform like HootSuite to pre-schedule your content. Use the 50/50 Mix - publishing 50% your content and %50 “OPC” (other people’s content). Sources of quality OPC include Guy Kawasaki‘s AllTop, Technorati, Mashable, Listorious (a directory of Twitter Lists), along with your favorite blogs (subscribe in Google Reader or via email). Plus, remember your own Facebook and Twitter Friend Lists!

Reach with Video I probably don’t have to tell you how powerful video marketing is, but when you combine video on your Facebook landing page it can boost your traffic and increase conversions. Video marketing can take your business to “celebrity status” helping you to build brand awareness and creating rapport with your viewers. Although you can post your YouTube videos directly to Facebook, I suggest using the Facebook video uploader.
