My first Facebook Pages was actually created by accident. It ended up pretty good as a method to do Marketing via Facebook. The main reason is that you could collect fans and admin them over at the page. Rather than creating a whole new facebook profile, whereby you will need to have a saperate login.

Publicise Feeds

With pages, your feeds are published at the page where user login. This is also the page where everyone tries to keep up with their friends status update. As you can see from the screenshot below.

Message to all fan with just one click

Compare to having another profile, you will need to type the username one by one. What if you have more than 100 friends, or if you have 1000 friends. Are you going to send one by one? With pages, you can just send message to all fan.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

On top of all that, your page is indexed by Google. Search for Malaysia Classifieds Listing, you will see my page third on Google. And it actually have a PageRank with it too (although mine is not high).

I believe the three reason on top is more than enough to have you creating your very first Facebook Page and to market your website right after this.

I have actually succesfully done this by making a Malaysia Classifieds Facebook Page whereby friends could add them as Fan. (you should too if you want classifieds updates on your facebook). So far, I had 147 fan, which is not bad, and I will be expecting more to join. So here is how you can make your own Facebook Page.

Go to Application on the bottom left corner, look for “Ads and Pages”

Click Pages

Then you will come to a blank pages if you have not created one before, click on the “Create Page” on top right corner. Then you continue with the name of your pages.

Now you have you own Facebook Pages. But you are not done yet, because you want to use it to market your feed. And here is how you can add your feed into Facebook Page. Look for the Edit Page on the left panel below the image.

Scroll down, then look for notes, click edit.

Here is the magic that will import your rss feeds into your facebook pages.

You should know the rest after this, there is only 2 steps left, one to write your feed and another to confirm.

It is recommended to at least include some information on your facebook page, also a picture would be decent too.
