Facebook Fanpage Etiquette

A Facebook Fanpage is a great way to network and ultimately attract potential clients but it can also be a place where you drive those same potentials away.  When creating a fanpage the creators first thought is “How can I get as many fans as possible?”  Everyone wants to have a lot of people who“Like” what they are offering however there is no real overnight growth like that holds truly potential clients or customers.  There are FanPages that you see their fanbase grow overnight by hundreds.  That is great if they are creating solid connections and not a bunch of spam pages or dead pages used by others that promise "x" amount of fans overnight for just "$" dollar amount.  Reality is, a solid foundation of networking fans that actually result in any kind of conversion does not happen overnight.

Facebook Overload

Many Social Media Management companies offer 8 and sometimes even more Facebook updates in their social media packages; we do as well.  Nevertheless, although we will give a client what they want to a degree, unless we feel it would not be in their best interest, we really do not recommend that many updates on your Facebook fanpage. 

You will see many Facebook fanpages out there being updated by Twitter as well as the administrators 8 or more times a day.  What happens to those updates?  Do you really think they are being read or well received?  If you think they are, you are sadly mistaken.
