Drive Traffic Using Facebook

I am simply amazed at how Facebook has caught on. I joined early on, but never did anything with it. Facebook was very restricting. You could only friend people who were in your school network; and you couldn't see other members if they weren't in your school network. About 3 years ago, I received a friend request from a cousin in Georgia. I was like what? lol. No more restrictions. Now you could friend whoever you wanted. Cool. After that I recieved a friend request from a longtime penpal, then former classmates and more relatives. Once I started going on daily, I started using it to keep up with the news by liking different pages.
Today it seems like everyone is on there and websites, stores are also setting up fan pages. I've mentioned before about my magazine back issues website. I just set up a Facebook fan page for it to help gain more traffic. I set up a link to the Facebook page on the front page of my magazine back issues website. No likes yet, but I've had a few visitors.
I'm also going to create pages for all of my blogs. You can automatically display new blog posts on the Facebook page which is nice.
Facebook fan pages are very easy to set up.
First you need to create a Facebook account, if you don't already have one. I already had one, but mine is for people I actually know in real life.
After your account is created, you should have a link on your profile page to create a page. If you don't see one, click here to create a Facebook page. Follow the steps: On the right, I selected Brand, product, or organization and chose Website in the dropdown box. Next, enter a name for your Facebook page. I used the name of my website/blog. Setup your page with info, a photo/logo and status updates; and your page will be ready for visitors.
Don't forget to set up a like box on your webpage, so people can find your Facebook fan page.
You can also set up an ad within Facebook, so that even more people will find you. I haven't done that yet, but at some point I may.
Facebook is great. The whole world in one location. Lots of opportunities to make money!

Here is the link to the Facebook page I just created for this blog: Ice Princess's Extra Cash Facebook fan page.
