At present Google + do not allow to create business pages so right time for facebook to cash on its business page creation service. This is the only way they can show that they have something extra over Google + . Good Luck Mark
This is definitely interesting since the guide comes from Facebook itself. I’m pretty Google plus would implement their own version as well in the near future.
Guess it’s google+ push facebook to do so. As google+ has group chatting, then facebook brings skype in. So it’s good news. lOL.
Facebook is the king of social media industry, and this is the the terrific guide from the king for their users to make it more helpful and useful for people. These are the thing that differentiate between competitors and the real king.
Yeah, Facebook is the king of social media industry, This is very interesting post. I’m pretty Google plus would implement their own version as well in the near future.
Finally, something that will help me on my way to the top! Facebook should encourage young people too. Not just the 20 something to infinity age bracket. Thanks for the heads up!
Something new to look forward to! Facebook should encourage people to be more business-minded.
I agree, Facebook is the best place to promote anything,you want to be known, especially when it comes to making your business grow.
I used the Facebook Self Help Guide For Businesses. And I can say that it is best to use.
It’s actually a bit cryptic trying to find info on creating an actual FB “page,” but once you find your way around, it’s not such a big deal.
