This is the first installment of my Social Media Marketing for Business series. This one is on Facebook. Facebook is a good place to start. A lot of business people have been very successful turing Facebook into a contact and revenue generator.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I’ve searched the web for some of the best posts and articles on creating an effective business Facebook page. Here is a list of resources I recommend to get a fast start marketing your products, services or business with Facebook:

• http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/07/24/12-ways-to-use-facebook-professionally/

The best “how-to” I’ve seen yet for Facebook with a plethora of widgets, plug-ins and resources to help you build a killer Facebook page.

• http://www.abundancehighway.com/how-to-market-and-promote-your-business-via-facebook/

This is actually an MLM Marketing blog but a lot of what she recommends will work for any type of business. Not a ton of information but very solid.

• http://social-media-university-global.org/2007/08/13/top-10-facebook-business-uses/

This is a list of blog posts on how to use Facebook for business from Social Media University. As time permits, read each of his blog posts on Facebook for an education on the subject.
