7 Secrets to Facebook Page Success
I am sure by now we all know that Facebook is an absolute must for your business, but you may not understand why this is so important. Allow me to share a few statistics that might make it more obvious why everyone who is in business needs to have a Facebook page.
General Stats
- More than 400 million active users on Facebook
- 50% of active users log on to Facebook in any given day
- More than 3 billion photos uploaded to the site each month
- More than 5 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) shared each week
- More than 3.5 million events created each month
Many though get confused by the personal profiles and Facebook Pages which are designated for business. If you weren't aware, Facebook frowns heavily on the use of a personal page for business purposes. In fact, I have heard of profiles being shut down because they were being used for the wrong purpose. A client of mine the other week ran into restrictions on his profile because it had too much business 
dealings taking place for their liking. They made it almost impossible to add friends, join a page, or even attend an event. The other thing with a personal page is that you are limited toonly 5,000 friends. Facebook pages allow you to have unlimited fans and talk about business as much as you wish. Because of these rules that are in place on Facebook, not only are more and more people joining daily, but so are businesses setting up a page is growing at astronomical rates.
Take a look at some of these stats on Facebook Pages:
- More than 1.5 million local businesses have active Pages on Facebook
- More than 20 million people become fans of Pages each day
- Pages have created more than 5.3 billion fans

The FaceBook craze is on ... youknow it when you go to ... AppleBee's, AC Moore, and you see JayLeno say "visit our FaceBook" page ... It's getting rather crazy.
Thank you for the invite. I hear enough about social media to know that it is important, especially Facebook. However, I have a hard time grasping it well enough to explain how to use it properly to avoid being obnoxious while still being effective.
I'm looking forward to next Tuesday's webinar.
Looks good and thank you for the stats on Facebook!
Hi Jeremy,
Wow!! Great information.
Thanks
This is going to be a great webinar. Incredible how facebook has grown.
Facebook will ONLY allow real people's names, and direct business to create a "group". But an easy way to use your Facebook page for business is to post your blog links on your page. It's easy, and the link even pulls the first image you have embedded in your post and shows in beside the first few lines of the link you place on Facebook.
I have signed up for this webinar, and look forward to hearing what Mike has to say.
Very good points Lisa. Which is why it is so important for everyone to get a Facebook Page to do Business on!
Jeremy,
I still dont undertsand the rush in creating a Fan page for business perspective when the normal facebook page can be used? I created a FAN page yesterday but then it does not seem that you can add the FAN page to my normal facebook account, meaning that I have pretty much to start from scratch the marketing of that FAN page....
Thanks for the invite, I have signed up. The more I learn the better.
I have a fan page and would love to learn how to make it more affective.
Ooooohh! I'm SO excited! I really need this help B-A-D! Thank you!
I have the page. Now I am looking forward how to better utilize it.
Thanks for the invite. I'll take you up on this.
Jeremy,
After Jason's webinar today, I simply have to embrace Facebook more. (TLW encourages me too!) So, I'm all enrolled!
No better way to spend the time if you have an hour free in your schedule. Looking forward to Mike's insights.
When will facebook jump the shark like myspace did 1 or 2 years ago? They fan pages are too disconnected from the normal flow and I view this as a flaw that facebook has yet to address.
Great content on the webinar today!
Jeremy,
Hats off to you and Mike for a fabulous webinar this afternoon. A FB know-nothing, now I have some ideas of which way is up. Thanks a million - and please feel free to use my kudos to promote your next running!
Thanks Jared & Irene! I am really looking forward to next weeks workshop on how to create a custom Facebook Page. It should be awesome!
