What is a Facebook Fan Page and why do you need one? A Fan Page is a page you can create for free on Facebook to promote your business or Passion Project.

The benefit of having a Fan Page on Facebook verses promoting yourself on the regular news feed is so you don't spam your friends with information that may not interest them. It also lends credibility to your business. A fan Page is a good starting option for folks just starting up a new business especially if its a "trial" project to see what kind of interest is out there for the business model.

In today's episode we cover the best practices to do when getting started with using Facebook Fan Pages, as well as some really common mistakes to avoid.

Key Takeaways

To Do's

Link your Website

Content is super important

Add Value

Post lots of pictures and video. live streaming services like Periscope and Blab make it super easy to utilize video on your page.

Add a CTA "Call to Action" button on your page. It can be anything you want your Tribe to do, such as sign up for your email list or subscribe to your Podcast.


No No's to Avoid

Do not SPAM your friends with your Fan Page. Yes, the Fan Page is for boosting your business, but be mindful not to only post "buy my xyz product/service".

Do NOT auto subscribe your friends to your page. send them an invitation to like your page once it's set up.

Do not post negative comments or go on a rant.

Post helpful content for your peeps on a regular basis.

Today’s show we will learn to Quit thinking small when it comes to the Vision we have

For our Passion Project. To become a Success at anything we do in life it will require us

To see things from a different perspective. It’s time to go to another level and we can’t get there

With the thinking that got us to now. We have to expand what is possible in our Entrepreneurial

Journey even to ourselves sometimes.  

 

 

 

What is a Mastermind and how will help you…

 

·         See the forest from the trees

·         Get different points of view

·         Get and give support

 

 

Elevating Mindset

 

·         Everyone is not wired to be a boss somebody gotta be a worker

·         Some people don’t have a reference of more

·         Can’t go where you can’t see.

 

Expand your Territory EXPECT MORE

 

·         Be mindful of your vision

·         You are a World Changer

·         From the ground you can’t see what’s happening down the road but from above you can see everything

·         Too close to see the reality of the situation

·         Put an expectation bigger that you can ever imagine

 

Everyone will not see your vision

 

·         You will have dream thieves

·         The reality of the situation, doesn’t negate the possibility

·         Never let anyone crush your dream

·         God puts everything you need for you to be successful with the vision

 

What’s your Vision Share it!
