There definitely is no secret about Facebook's legendary traffic numbers, and all internet marketers certainly realize this very well. Of course, all businesses from small to large have a tendency to view that in terms of profits which is clear. But it is vital to realize that you will have to work before you are able to reap the rewards the same as you need to anywhere else. The trap so many fall into is all that is required is show up a few times a week, make a post, and people start purchasing from you. You could come to be well known in your market. There really are few limits there, and many of them will almost certainly be self imposed, anyway. But that will not happen if your methods are incorrect, or you do not put the necessary effort into your marketing.
One of the biggest wrong turns to take at Facebook, and other places, is not being able to be constant in what you do. Just one way that would have a negative impact is if you are not routinely engaged with your market. What can easily happen is you launch with a bang and then things fall by the wayside eventually. So eventually you may decide to turn things around by doing some quick updates to your fan page. While you're at it, you incorporate a couple of links for some offers you feel are great and will help them. That is not how you use social marketing or have success at Facebook. The combination of your absence and the links you gave them will leave a bad opinion about you. So just spread out your marketing and be sure you talk to people on a regular basis.
You can trigger other distressing effects by failing to keep in regular touch with your market. Remember you are constantly perpetuating and creating your business brand. So what that means is you have to be consistent in your messages at all times. But not only do you have to do that, but you must be professional while at the same time being friendly. Effectively achieving that is not difficult at all, and it is a lot similar to being at a job where limits are clear. When talking to your target audience, stay on the proper topics which are the reason why they are there with you in the first place. It is normal and really a wise decision to inject humor where appropriate, but just be certain you do not let things get out of hand. But keep things heading in the right direction which is the theme of your page plus your business branding.
Obviously Facebook continues to make adjustments and refine the general user experience. For example, you positively cannot make a lot of 'friend requests' to people you don't know. You have to be very watchful with that practice because they will know you're doing it and may eliminate your account. But one of the ways around that is to search on the phrases that are appropriate to your market. If you do that, you will have the ability to find ongoing discussions about those subjects. At that time it is just a matter of tactfully contributing to the interactions.
