Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansWith the great diversity of human interests and activities not only in real life but online as well, it is very important to be able to reach out as far as you can when it comes to online marketing. Ignoring one platform is definitely something that you should not do if you want to reach as many people as possible. If you are sending out a print ad, for example, you do not choose who gets to see the advertisement. Your main goal is for everyone to see your ads and the only way to do that is to extend your reach as far as possible. This practice of using all kinds of platforms and using them as one system is also called as syndication. For the purposes of online marketing, we will call it web syndication, or simply the act of using each web platform available and connecting them to each other for greater benefits.

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansIf we use a Facebook Fan page as one platform for online marketing, we must integrate it to other kinds of web services to get a greater following. Remember how we discussed the value of “social spaces”? Now, we will have to assess the value of every social space available in the internet and use them intelligently so we can build on our Facebook fan base quickly and efficiently.  Each social space has its distinct characteristic over other social spaces. For example, you cannot expect an individual who is a video lover to spend more time reading articles on web directories than on video sharing websites. Your job as a marketer is to cater to each social space as much as you can while focusing on your main platform, in our case the Facebook business fan page. So what social spaces do you need to target and how do you syndicate them to your Facebook business page? Here are some examples of what you can do as an internet marketer to get Facebook fans quickly and efficiently.

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of article directories

If you want to get some quick links pointing to your website or your Facebook Business Fan Page for that matter, a great place to visit is an article directory. If you don’t know what an article directory is, it is just a place where articles are stored.  Think of it as an online version of a library where articles are arranged by subject and categories. If you need an article about herbal medicines, just go to an article director and search for herbal medicines. You’ll be surprised to see how many articles related to herbal medicines will appear!

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of article directories – cont.When writing an article for submission to directories, be sure to write very good content! An article with wrong spelling and grammatical construction will most likely lose the interest and trust of the people who read them. Try to give as much information as possible but be sure to keep them “looking for more” at the end of your article. That way, readers will be curious about your article and try to search for more information regarding what you have written.  Be sure to put a link pointing towards your website or Facebook Fan Page at the end of your article because it will be the link that will transform your readers from casual visitors to potential customers. You can add a line saying “If you need more information, follow this link…..”, then use that link to point to your business page!

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of article directories – cont.Another thing to note, write only about subjects related to your business. If you are selling shoes online, write an article about shoes only (how to choose a good leather shoe, what to look for in a running shoe, etc). Readers will find it weird if they see that your article is about herbal medicine and your website is on the business of selling shoes!

Ezine is one example of a free-membership article submission website. You can submit articles here for free and include a link towards your own business page to get Facebook Fans quickly!

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of Video MarketingLife would be boring if we only see words and letters right? Many

people who use the internet feel the same way too, so they spend much of their time watching videos in video sharing websites. And the good thing is that you can get a large and quick Facebook fan following in this social space if you know how to utilize video marketing to your advantage.

 If you ask me, I think many people would want to see colors and

movements instead of just reading plain text over the internet all the time. Although online articles are mostly beneficial and contains some solid information, internet users would love to watch some nice videos too. Imagine if there was some news about the latest World Cup game or a fireworks display during a New Year Celebration. Would you want to read the descriptions of those events in a cold, text-only article?

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of Video Marketing – cont.I myself would not want that! And I am sure that a big

percentage of people will agree with me. Real people love to see moving pictures and colors and you must know how to syndicate video sharing websites with your Facebook business campaign if you want to be successful in online maketing.

 So how do we do it? Simple! Use video marketing the same way

that we used article submissions. Just create a video related to your business (you can even make a video about your business itself) and submit it to video sharing websites. Youtube is considered as the biggest video sharing website as of today, but you can also use other video sharing websites to extend your reach. (Metacafe, Google Video, etc).

Page 9: How to quickly get facebook fans

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of Video Marketing – cont.In article submissions, we discussed using links as a way to convert

readers into Facebook Fans. In video submissions, we will also do the same. For every video that you submit in video sharing websites, a description of that video is usually required before you can proceed to your submission. You can include a link pointing to your website on your video description so that those who watch your videos can click on your link.

 Another thing that you can do is to directly include the address of

your Facebook Fanpage on your video. For example, at the beginning of your video, make sure that you show the address of your website so that people will remember where to find your Fan Page. You can also put it at the ending of your video, or have someone say where to find your Facebook Fan page in your video submission.

Be sure to include the link to your Facebook Page on your video description. You can also show the address of your Facebook page inside the video that you created to make most of your viewers remember the address of your Fanpage. Youtube is the most popular video sharing website today, but you can also use other video sharing sites if you want.

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of other Social Networking WebsitesIf you want to reach out as far as you can, it would be wise to open

up accounts in other social networking websites. As we have discussed earlier, some social networking websites have distinct features that separate them from each other. Other people might like Facebook, and other people might not. You must try and reach out to these people just to make sure that your marketing strategy is able to reach out all possible social spaces.

 Twitter, for example, is a social networking site that caters to

people who want to send out short, simple messages called “Tweets”. You can create an account in Twitter and “tweet” about your Facebook fan page to your Twiter friends. That way, you are hitting two social networking sites, Facebook and Twitter, in one go.

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of other Social Networking Websites – cont.Another social networking site where you can get targeted

customers is LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a social space that caters specifically to professionals such as doctors, engineers, teachers and others. If you are on the business of selling medical books, for example, you can create a LinkedIn account and befriend professionals that can become your potential clients such as medical students, doctors and health practitioners.

 After befriending them and connecting with them through LinkedIn,

you can point them to your Facebook Fan Page, get instant targeted traffic and benefit from a highly profitable fan base. (Since these people are professionals, you can be sure that they will be much more interested to view your products compared to casual fans and visitors of your Facebook Fan Page)

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of Social BookmarkingAnother way that you can get Facebook Fans quickly and

efficiently is through Social Bookmarking. If you don’t know what Social Bookmarking is, it is just a way to share information in the forms of “links” over the web.

 For example, if I saw a website or an article about dogs that I

really liked reading and I wanted to share it to as many people as possible, I can create an account on a Social Bookmarking website and submit a link that points to the particular website or article. In short, it is just a way of saying, “Hey, I really found out about this cool place. I think you should visit it! Here is the address….”

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of Social Bookmarking – cont.So how do you use the potential of social bookmarking websites

and syndicate it to your Facebook Busines Fan Page? Well, just like everything that this book teaches you, it is very simple! Just create a write up about your business page (make sure that what you write is somehow related to your business) and submit it to a social networking site.

The article you submit can be news, a report or whatever you think is appropriate to relay your message. Now, submit your link along with your write up! Because many internet users visit Social Bookmarking Websites everyday to get a glimpse of the latest news and events, the potential of getting new Facebook Fans for your business will be greatly increased if you follow this scheme. Here is Digg, an example of a popular bookmarking site.

These numbers represent the people who think that your post is useful.When people “digg” your post, it is automatically shared to the contacts of the person who digged it. The more Diggs you get, the more exposure you get for your post. And more exposure means more chances of getting Facebook Fans and potential customers for your business.

As you can see, topics and news in Digg can be arranged depending on your preferences. You can view news and events by recency, subject and popularity, making it much easier for potential customers to see your business and not get mixed under one general category. If you are selling gaming accessories, be sure to post your write up and link under the category Entertainment and not on any other unrelated subject.

Web Syndication and how you can use it to quickly get Facebook FansUse the power of “Word of Mouth” marketingNothing beats the old and reliable “word of mouth” marketing

method. So if you want to get Facebook Fans quickly and efficiently, just make sure that you share your Facebook Fan page as much as you can to as many people as you can. Use Facebook to invite friends, import contacts and update the status of your page.

 Explore other social spaces such as video sharing websites

(Youtube), social bookmarking websites (Digg) and other social networking sites (Twitter) because these social spaces can really give a boost to your online business. Be creative and do not put all of your eggs in one basket! Make sure that you reach all possible platforms aside from Facebook and you’ll be surprised how many fans you can get in a week or a month after your initial launch.
