Facebook sucks..... that is all....

Agreed.

Granted its "free" advertisement, our efforts for marketing have yielded far better results for minimal cost as opposed to spending time on FB to generate business.  I know it works for some, but it just seems as the lazy way to put in an effort for more revenue.

The key with Facebook is this...  

• Search for community pages local to you
• Join their groups
• Many allow you to advertise, the ones I have done, allow me one free solicitation a month - so every 1st, I post. 
• Once you reach, then you are on their minds always. 
• Reaching directly into communities in this way, provides you a better presence, other vendors, companies start to refer you too. 

I have linked to 3 LARGE communities directly, and my mobile jobs during the weekend have never been this busy...  best of all, is FREE!!!

I guess you get what you pay for. It's funny the customers opinions. Oh you must get a lot of business being on Facebook. Um no.

So for those of you that like using Facebook, and do get business from it, how many businesses have you used bc you saw them on Facebook?

I get my mowing parts from a company I saw on Facebook locally.
