1.) Create A Solid Foundation For Your Business
If you want to attract new customers with Facebook the first step is to set up a solid foundation for your business.
This means mapping out a plan on the type of customers you want to attract.
To begin with you’ll want to identify your customer avatar.
If you haven’t created your Customer Avatar yet or you don’t even know what a Customer Avatar is then…
Check out this brief Customer Avatar training here…
Start by asking yourself a few questions:
- What is your product?
- Who would buy your product?
- Are they male or female?
- What is their age?
- Do they work?
- What magazines, blogs, books do they read?
- What TV shows do they watch?
- Who do they follow to get advice, inspiration or motivation?
Once you’ve determined who your customer avatar is you’ll know who you should attract on Facebook.
This leads us to step # 2 which is…
2.) Build A Facebook Fan Page
The second step to attract new customers with Facebook is to create a Facebook Fan page.
You will use your new Facebook Fan Page to build your audience and spread your message.
Your Facebook Fan page will be your “hub” on Facebook.
This is where you’ll connect with your audience so you can…
- Provide inspiration or motivation
- Answer their questions
- Share your knowledge and expertise on your product or niche
- Help to solve their problems through the use of your product or service
Your focus should be to become the “go to” person within your marketing niche.
When you establish yourself as the “go to” person you’re establishing yourself as an authority on that particular topic.
As the authority you’ll be able to provide value and help your audience with their pains or struggles.
Which leads us to our next step which is about how to build an audience using Facebook.
3.) Get Facebook Fans
Now that you’ve created your Facebook Fan Page it’s now time to get fans!
While there are several different ways to get fans, one of the fastest ways is to create a Facebook Likes campaign by using your Facebook Ads account.
Depending on your niche you can get a targeted Facebook like for $.03 – $.75 a fan.
This of course is provided you’re targeting the right audience.
(To help you target the right audience, make sure you go back and check out the Customer Avatar training we discussed above)
Let’s say you want to get 20 fans a day to your page.
If it costs you $.50 a fan then you will need to spend $10.00 a day on your Facebook Likes campaign to get 20 fans a day.
The more targeted you are with your ad and the higher your click through rate of your ad the lower the cost you will pay per like.
Now that you’re getting fans it’s time to start to engaging with those fans. The more engagement you have on your page, the more likely Facebook will show your posts organically in your audience’s newsfeed. However, the less engaged your page is….the less likely Facebook will show your posts organically in the news feed. Think of it this way… the news feed on Facebook is very competitive. Instead of relying on Facebook to show your posts organically, you should consider boosting your posts that are receiving a lot of engagement. Your Fan Page is your community and it’s up to you to keep them informed and engaged. You want to draw them into the conversation that is taking place on your Fan page. There are several ways to this… Actually take time each day to respond to your audience’s comments and messages on your Fan Page. Often times, business owners will rely upon organic reach too much… … and then wonder why they’re not getting as many new customers as they’d hoped. If your goal is to create offer awareness and attract new customers with Facebook you need to incorporate paid advertising into your strategy. Get your business moving towards profitability and set a realistic advertising budget. We run three ads continually in our business… Ideally, you’ll want to spread your budget evenly across all three campaigns. For example, if you have $60/day ad budget, run each campaign at $20/day. Additionally, all three types of ad are equally important for the growth of your business. Don’t make the mistake of allocating your entire budget to one type of ad campaign and neglect the others. Balancing the budget out over the 3 different types of campaign will ensure you’re leveraging Facebook as effectively as possible.
