There is no question that Facebook is a popular social media site and it can work for your business as well. Setting up a Facebook page for your business is quick, simple and free.
You can then integrate some Facebook gadgets to your site to gain better exposure and show your site visitors how many Facebookers like your site.
A friend who operates a successful small business was approached by a IT consultant who offered a Facebook business site service for only $800 to set up and $900 a month to tailor advertisements to particular postcodes.
This is concerning. Firstly, Facebook business site setup is FREE and charging $800 for doing is little more than THEFT. Secondly, you cannot target Facebook ads to postcodes! You can point them to major suburbs, but not postcodes.
People, if you need a Facebook business site, set it up yourself. It's free and easy to do. If you want Facebook Ads, of course you'll need to pay for them, but set them up and tailor the ads to be affordable for you, limit the cost of each ad, and limit the number of clicks to your budget.
Don't let some business dupe you into parting with thousands of dollars for something you can do for FREE!
Great post. And yes those snakes are out there trying to leach money by deception.
