FACEBOOK and promoting your small business - how to use facebook guides

Newdirection

Hello all,

Please is there anyone out there whom undertands facebook well. I have a small business and I am a window cleaner and I use facebook to interact with groups local to where I am working. I post ads on there and respond to people whom look for a window cleaner by searching under "window cleaner"

I however find it hard to post on my page and it reach lots of people that I need to be targeting?

So, is there other ways I can reach out to people with info n my business. How can i interat my service to local people more and simply pull in more people form facebook or make my window cleanign service visible to them?

Thank you to anyone whom replies.
All the best.

You can "boost" your posts so they're seen by more people. If you send me a link to your Facebook page via PM I'd be happy to have a look at it to see if I can offer any general advice for your page too

Hi, to boost your post, costs?

My facebook page is: facebook.com/sandwindowcleaning
Also when you click the link to my web site it comes up unsafe, when it sis fine and people follow the links still and its ok, but might put people off? I dont no why, I contacted site provider and they do not know why?

I just really want to make the site hit people with details and easy to read, or better direction and be able to post to local areas and people i dont no, is that possible?

Thank you so much for your help, really appriciate it.

The thing with Social Media and social interactions in general is that people don't really care about wht you do, but what you can do for them aka the Whats In It For Me Syndrome. For this reason make sure your posts are less about promoting your business, I will dig out some info I have on the types of posts you should be making to get people's attention, hope that helps

Once you've posted something on your page you should be able to look at that post (be it a picture, or a link to your website, etc) and there will be a button saying "boost" and you just click it. It can cost how much you like - from £3.50 to £3500! Obviously there's no point paying loads at first til you know how well it works. And be careful, you can't boost a picture with more than 20% of it covered in text.
