To Use Or Not To Use Social Media Groups To Efficiently Manage Your Internet Marketing Business

By Noelle Romero


In our last issue we went over a few strategies for making profits on Facebook. In this issue we are going to talk about using Facebook marketing and Facebook Groups for your business enterprise.

The Groups application has recently been modified making it a lot easier to navigate. As a strong point, the Facebook Group Application can not be used for professional purposes in order to build a target market. A Group can be kept concealed from other Facebook users in case the moderator chooses to do so. With Groups, the members are able to start conversations, submit links as well as photos.

Still, the Groups feature has a number of boundaries when compared to a Fan page or Business page. To get the most out of this application, some businesses either assign a crew to take care of it using a personal account or be careful when attaching contacts to their Facebook business page. The business owner can also perform this directly.

Let's quickly go over a few ways to apply social media management and using the Facebook Group Application to your advantage:

- As Connection to other Industry Figures

Irrespective of the industry you belong to, a solid discussion about various issues is quite important for you as a businessman. This not only increases your knowledge about the industry you're in but also builds your reputation among other business owners. For many other business owners, this could mean talking to competition and exposing things that they aren't supposed to. Even so, they'd be surprised to know that a lot other advertisers are eager to talk about what they know. Don't leave out yourself from expressing some of your expertise and experience to other people. It might just be a peg for a prospect to choose you later on.

- As An Assistance Group

Are you tackling a few snags in advertising and marketing? What if you need to talk to the admin regarding a few issues about business? With Facebook for Business you can quickly do this with as much openness or privacy as you want.Employees will appreciate the written support and this will help them feel like they're not alone in resolving the problem. It is also a way to celebrate small milestones in the department you belong to or with the company at large.

To Start A Corporate Social Responsibility

Are you going to organize a fundraising activity? How about if you need to correspond with the charitable organization your company is involved with? Facebook will give your efforts a strong sense of accountability. Not only that, it will also help you become more organized should there be a need for some volunteers from your team. Making the discussion open will invite other people to take part in and share their own views.

- As a Way to Update Field Workers Regular interaction among the staff members is an important element of any business. All businesses must be able to communicate with everyone in the team quickly and easily. Anything that needs to be discussed internally can be carried out so at the comforts of your very own laptop wherever and whenever you are through Facebook Groups. Discussions can be done through chats as well as publishing of updates at the wall.

Make sure you look for your next issue soon. We are going to talk about the right way to interact with you Facebook friends & fans.
