FaceBook groups are one of the most popular features on FaceBook. It allows an administrator (or few administrators) to gather up all interested people and place them into one common page where they can view the page, look at pictures, communicate with each other and get updates about the group. FaceBook groups have several uses, whether it is for business or for a personal reason. Here are three reasons to use FaceBook groups:

1. You want to promote yourself. If you are an artist, FaceBook groups are great for promoting your cause. For instance, a musician can post up information about his/her upcoming events, album information, song demos, and pictures. They also allow members to communicate with each other, creating a stronger following.
2. Businesses can use FaceBook groups to promote a product. You can post up information about your product, pictures, demonstration, reviews, etc. By putting together users of the product, you can start support threads where users help each other. This will create stronger branding and promote your product, resulting in more money for your company.
3. If you are part of a non-profit organization, it is great to put together events and fundraisers. You get together everyone who supports your cause, and they can talk to each other and you can communicate with them. It will help you get ideas of what to do next, how to make more money, and encourage group members to donate more money to your cause.

FaceBook groups are especially great for getting to know your customers. You basically gather up all of your target market in one group, and you can research other behaviors, such as what else they are interested in, who else, where they’re from, etc.

FaceBook recently beat out MySpace for the most popular social network. With hundreds of millions of people on FaceBook, it is very easy to network. On my FaceBook account, I have over 400 friends, many of whom I grew up with, went to high school and college with, and family I didn’t even know I have. I am part of my company’s network, and am connected with all the other employees who work with me.

FaceBook is very useful for networking and promotion. One of the key tools to promoting is the FaceBook groups and Fan Page features. Another useful feature in FaceBook is the paid-advertising. FaceBook collects a lot of detailed information about its users, making the advertising extremely targeted.

Here is a breakdown of the three different methods you can use FaceBook for:

• Groups: Groups are great for putting together a lot of active people. This is good for businesses looking to gather all of its employees in one collective group so that everyone can bounce ideas off of each other and be updated about the company. It allows for a lot of collaboration and contribution between members.
• Fan Pages: These are for companies literally looking for fans. If you have a lot of customers who want updates on products and more information about your products, this is what you are looking for. Put together a fan page and spread the word!
• Advertising: FaceBook advertising is great for targeted marketing. You can specify the age, location, gender, interests, and much more all within FaceBook advertising! This is for the marketers who are looking to sell, because it gets pretty expensive at times.
