In our previous issue, we discussed about how you can earn money from Facebook. In this issue we are going to talk about Facebook marketing and Facebook Groups for your business.
This Facebook Group Application has just recently been revamped by the social networking site, to make it more useful and beneficial for its users. Be aware that as opposed to Fan pages, the Groups application is not recommended for use if you're developing a target market. A group can be kept secret or open should the moderator chooses to do it. With Groups, one is allowed to chat, send emails and post photos to a given group of individuals.
While the Groups element has its share of benefits, it also has some limitations when compared to Fan and Business pages on Facebook. To get the most out of this application, some businesses either assign a team to handle it using a personal account or be careful when attaching contacts to their Facebook business page. Even the business page owner can do this task directly.
Let's quickly look at a few ways to apply social media management and using the Facebook Group Application to your advantage:

For many other business owners, this could suggest talking to competition and unveiling things that they aren't expected to. Then again, they'd be surprised to know that a lot other marketers are enthusiastic to share what they know. Don't exclude yourself from sharing some of your practical knowledge and experience to other people. It might just be a peg for a prospect to choose you later on.
