Social Media to put it bluntly is the greatest social change mankind has seen since the Industrial Revolution some 300 years ago!. It has taken the traditional methods of information communication such as newspapers, magazines, TV, radio & to a certain extent telephones & completed turned them onto their heads!……but what exactly is social media?. The phrase already has a multitude of meanings but the common thread is that it provides a “social platform for interaction & communication”.

Regular “media” is very much a one way street whereby information travels in a single direction from the supplier to the user, social media on the other hand demands responses, comments, feedback, reviews, challenges & two way communication. Within social media you then have five different distinct “vehicles” for the delivery & distribution of information:

* Social Networking. (Facebook & Twitter) work by adding friends & followers, commenting on profiles, joining groups / lists and having discussions.

* Social Bookmarking. (Del.icio.us & StumbleUpon) work by tagging websites and searching through websites bookmarked by other people.

* Social News. (Digg, & Reddit) work by voting for articles and commenting on them.

* Social Photo & Video Sharing. (YouTube & Flickr) work by sharing photos or videos and commenting on user submissions.

* Wikis. (Wikipedia & Wikia) work by adding articles and editing existing articles.

Social Networking is by far the most dominant force within social media & is driven by the popularity of Facebook & Twitter.

Facebook:
Facebook has taken the world by storm and now has over 500 million users with over 50% of these users logging in daily. With users accessing Facebook 500 billion minutes per month you can start to see how effective Facebook really is on a local, national and international scale.

So how can your business benefit from this?

Facebook allows businesses and other organizations to promote their services with a “Fan Page” for FREE! OK so you may already have a fan page but how can you get people interested in your services without spending massive amounts of marketing dollars? People vote with their feet so by promoting your services to a large number of fans you can generate conversions on your sales for a fraction of the price you might pay with some PPC or affiliate programs.

This is where IncreaseYourFans.net can help…

We have a massive network of worldwide Facebook fan pages, groups, and profiles with access to millions of Facebook users. Depending on your country and offering we match our Facebook users with your facebook page to ensure that you are getting the most targeted fans to that are most likely to be converted into customers. Obviously some users on the network will love your page (and become fans) and some won’t. We won’t stop until we have attracted the required number of fans to ensure you have a great sales database!

Interested Fan’s or ‘Likes’ with IncreaseYourFans.net can cost you as little as $0.05 per fan – and this is a converted “pre-warmed” person. PPC programs can cost you $1-$2 just to try and get a prospective customer and if you convert 10% of these, the real price for that one interested customer is $10.00. See the price difference?

Still not convinced?

With a database of fans you can actively promote new products, services, sales and facebook only deals. By offering these directly to the end-user via their facebook feed (now remember 50% of users login daily) it becomes far more effective than email advertising and is far less intrusive!…..another added benefit of having a large fan base following is that Facebook now very successfully runs “searches” through its members & fan pages & the results are driven by the volume of fans you have on your page, which is seen as a benchmark for your authority within your niche……need I say more!.
