Facebook likepage as a platform for selling a product.

[thefreethinker31]

Hello guys,

I'm planning to start my own business and what better way than to use facebook to get people redirected to my website for orders. Can't mention the product though but its along the lines of healthy alternatives. So what do you guys think of the facebook likepage as a platform for marketing a product? Have you guys tried it? Was your page successful or was it a flop? I've seen other pages and their likes reach about 2,000.000 but does that translate to sales? Any plans or strategies that you used to build up your market? Is it even possible to sell products with the use of your facebook likepage? Hope you guys could help and even better if you could share your experiences.

Thanks!
Christina

There are services that claim to get you Facebook likes, but the types of 'likes' that that provides ... many, if not all of them, will obviously look fake as the individuals who use the Facebook accounts may not even speak English or the language of your comments on the page, and many of them will probably be fake accounts. It's better to promote your Facebook page by other marketing, giveaways, contests, etc.

I guess I'd have to a agree with you. Manual promotion would be better, though I think a few head start purchased likes would do the deal? Atleast there'd be a few interactions even if a lot are fake accounts. Actually, I'm really confused on what to do.

It may be a good head start, but I think you should place just as much emphasis on SEO as well.

I think you should combine SEO and SMO (social media optimization). They can be a potent team in attracting huge inbound traffic. Top that with PPC, if you can afford it. I'm not sure how FaceBook Likes can bring profit to you. Unless someone buys from your site or any middle-man type sites where your products are presented, you won't reap a handsome ROI.

What I know is that the more likes you get, the more you'll get noticed. Besides FaceBook is a NoFollow site.
