If you’re not using Facebook for your business or not sure how Facebook can help grow your business, then you need to read this article…
​
In this article you’ll discover:

1. Updating Your Posts Daily

What you need to do:
Engage daily with your audience, by posting memes, quotes, articles and videos to entertain your audience. Once per day is enough to start increasing your engagement. Keep up with the latest news & trends in your industry and keep your audience updated.
​
How will posting daily help my business?
Users on social media want to socialise and be entertained. If you provide quality posts, you’ll get people talking about you (increase your brand awareness) and you’ll get people following your page.
As your followers grow, you can mix in your special offers and promotions every week or two. But you shouldn’t post too often about your products/services as people will stop following your page.
​
Always remember this golden question your audience ask… “What’s in it for me?”

2. Blogging

What you need to do:
Blogging is a way of educating your audience about your industry & product/services. As well as entertaining, people also want to learn and better themselves.

The more you blog the better, but you should aim for at least once a week. You should be blogging about stuff related to your industry that can teach them something new.

​There are several benefits to blogging, but I’ll cover that in another post. But what you need to know now, is that blogging increases also your followers AND you become an authority in your field.


How will blogging  help my business?
​Blogging can help in two ways:

1. By directing them to your blog page from Facebook to read your full blog
  • People will read your benefit-driven headline and your exciting opening paragraph on your Facebook post.
  • They’ll then click on your link to read the rest of the post and land on your blog page.
  • On that page you should have your lead magnet offers or your promotions with simple forms that will entice your readers to take action. This is a simple way to generate email leads which you can feed into your sales funnel.

2. You should have Facebook pixels on your blog page. What are pixels?

Basically, it tells Facebook that a Facebook user has visited your website. So when you create a Facebook ad campaign, you can tell Facebook to show your advert to those visitors.

This is known as retargeting. Even if you don’t capture their email address when they read your blog through your offers, you can still target them through Facebook ads. But what should you advertise with FB ads? This is the third thing you should be doing…

3. Facebook Ads & Lead Magnets

What you need to do:
Finally, you should be advertising to your target audience using Facebook ads.

NOTE: You should not be advertising your core products on Facebook
  • Advertise free useful valuable information (related to your product) in exchange for their email address,
  • Don't advertise your main products. Because people don’t usually click on a Facebook advert and buy.
  • Followers click on a Facebook advert if there’s something free or valuable for them. Remember the golden question your audience ask…

​How will Facebook Ads & Lead Magnets help my business?
As an example, we at Tick Square offer a free eBook (how to use the internet to grow your business in 3 easy steps) as one of our lead magnets. We advertise this on Facebook with an attractive heading, a good image and a call-to-action button
