Using Facebook to keep your website up to date

July 6th, 2011

Do you have a website that has not been updated in a year or two?  Does your web master charge you every time you want to update your site.  Some companies are now using Facebook as a way to create an internet presence without having to update their site.

How well does using Facebook as a way to reach out to customers and prospects?

If you have a business to consumer business, it can work pretty well.  You need to go out and build a set of “likers”.  Also, think about what kind of content you are creating to draw in your customers.  Think about a contest, quiz or interactive content.

For a business to business site, I am not sure.  How many of your customers and prospects are looking on Facebook.  How are you using your e-content?

If you are using your website as a reference for searchers or email marketing, you may want to consider a blog instead.  A blog will give you links that you can include in an email or other social media posting.
