Facebook is a great "soft" sell. Placing a “hot link” to your Facebook business page from your personal profile’s About. • Click on the “About” link. Find it under your timeline image, left side, and beneath your personal information • Type in the exact name of your Facebook Page. It should appear in a drop down menu. • Many people overlook this strategic link, causing a prospect to click and land on a default topic page, best known as the “suitcase page.”

If you’re using your Facebook personal profile or business page to “network”, then we highly suggest losing the profile picture of your dog or your favorite sports team. Rather, SMILE. Add a casual, yet professional photograph, a company logo, or a special event icon. This photo is your Facebook avatar that will follow you wherever you post and engage with other members.

Communication is both Art and Science. ART, because a “like” goes a long way and a “comment” a lot further to building a relationship. SCIENCE, because when you “comment,” “share,” “@tag” friends and pages, well, you strategically increase the visibility of Your Content to Your Target Audience. By engaging with your Friends and Fans, you can shore up weak ties of engagement and become word-of-mouth.
Be “engaging” to boost your viral reach.
