I've spent the last couple days learning about Facebook marketing and how I can use it for my new edu-site - Cyber-Scholar.com.
I purchased the young lady above's product for $97 and am powering through the 20 training videos. (It might be a little pricey for what it is, nonetheless it is helpful.)
I must say that despite being a Headbook-hater, the immense power of the platform is not to be denied - especially for someone looking to sell a product. It's really opened my eyes.
Facebook basically killed the growth of this blog - and it did so in two ways.
First, everyone started spending all their time on the social network; they stopped prowling the web for interesting and hilarious blogs.
And secondly, I myself never took the time to promote Marginalizing Morons on Facebook. I tried for a minute but didn't know what I was doing.
I'm seeing now that although my blog is too *general* for Google keyword optimization and promotion....that there are still many ways I could have, and can successfully promote it on Headbook.
Whatever, moving forward...
I think Facebook is so powerful from a marketing standpoint, that a well-done Fan Page can conceivably even preclude the need for a website altogether.
It's just easier for word-of-mouth and links to go viral on it than via the vast World Wide Web of unconnected and mostly anonymous people.
So I'm working on the Cyber-Scholar.com Fan Page, among many other things, at the moment.
Oh and I also subscribed to a few Facebook marketing blogs. Thankfully, there doesn't seem to be too much to learning and implementing the basics.

Shouldn't this post be "chapter" 4, since The Sales Letter was 3? I rarely (if ever) comment but I enjoy my subscription to your blog. :)
Thanks. You're hired as my editor.
Just don't ask for a raise, not in this market.
