Amp up Your Avon Business with Facebook!

Okay, yeah!  I bucked the idea of joining facebook!  It seemed like such a 20-something thing to do...you know for High School and University students and the parents that want to spy on them.  And quite honestly, that was why I opened my own facebook account...to keep tabs on the people that my sons were hanging with when they were in High School.  Then they went away to University, and it seemed even more critical to stay connected in any way I could.  They were so far away!

Then there were the games...ah, yes: Bejeweled steals your life, one minute at a time; Farmville just makes you feel silly; and Mafia Wars is just too big and potentially violent to keep my attention!  And how can one truly justify spending real life money on online game components???? 

Photos?  Perfect, an online photo album that is easy and free!!!!  My kind of product.

But truthfully, Facebook is more that the sum of it's parts.  And I'm not sure that each of us doesn't have a personal definition of what this really amazing product represents to our online experience.  The really cool thing that I'm learning, and I must admit that I am NO EXPERT, is that Facebook can be used to promote your business!  YOUR AVON BUSINESS!  For free!  FREE!!!

How do you do that???  It's all in the Status.  You write or copy interesting and relevant things to your status and you "Share" them with your Facebook Friends.  How easy is that???

The trick is to get your Friends to "Like" and / or "Share" your posts on their status as well.  It's a marketing phenomenon called 'viral' communications.  Items that are 'Liked' or 'Shared' travel all over the internet, all over the world, potentially at the speed of light.  That's true genius!  And it's at your fingertips and it's FREE!

1. So how to get started?  Go to the sign-up page and open your own free Facebook Page.   www.facebook.com
2. Invite your friends
3. Post on your Profile page and continue to keep it updated
4. Ask your friends to 'like' or 'share' your posts

5. Reciprocate by 'liking' and 'sharing' your friends' posts as well

Pretty easy, right!  Actually it's like falling off a log!  Welcome to the age of social networking for small business!  You've got the basics now start experimenting and let your creative juices flow!

I challenge District 487 to be the most net-savvy District in Canada!!!
