How to Use Facebook to Start-up Your Business

Whether you like it or not, Facebook has come to stay! If you’re a smart web entrepreneur, you need to start using Facebook to reach out to millions of Nigerian and African Facebook users who are actively involved with the most popular site for the year 2008.

In case you don’t know, Facebook is a social utility that connects people from all over the world (about 150 million). When the site was created, most people didn’t recognise Facebook’s business potentials. But today, most popular and successful sites such as CNN are using the Facebook’s utilities such as applications, etc to build their brands.

So what are ways business start-ups can tap into Facebook’s utilities?

Group

Like other social networking sites, Facebook allows users to create a group page for free. This group could be within several categories such as Internet & Technology, Advertising & Marketing, Media & Entertainment, Music, Politics, Sports, and so on.

When you start a group on Facebook, you can invite members to join the group and share their thoughts, opinions and discussions about your product, idea or start-up. Invitation to join a Facebook group can be via your Facebook friends, your Yahoo contacts, etc.

By participating in the discussions of the group, you can promote your business start-up and create more awareness, while establishing contacts and potential partners. You can also connect with potential customers and redirect them to your start-up website.

Application

A Facebook application can take on many forms, but in order to fully utilize the suite of integration points and deliver a full user experience, it is recommended that you integrate your application into certain areas of the Facebook profile. This application connects you to your potential users, customers and partners.

Note: In order to create a Facebook application, you should be well versed in PHP or some other coding language — such as Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, or Python — especially one that has a client library for Facebook’s API. You need to have a basic understanding of the Internet, SSH, MySQL, and Unix. You also need to be familiar with Web hosting fundamentals and have a place to host your application. Read more

Advertisement

Your business start-up can use some Facebook advertisement too to build your brand. With as little as $30 (about N5000 naira), you can have your business ad banner placed across several Facebook pages. This allows millions of people to see your business everywhere on Facebook and attract potential customers, who would naturally visit your start-up website.

Personally, I’ve found Facebook useful for connecting with business contacts and potential partners. Although, Startups Nigeria has not created an application or used some advertisement, Facebook has been a great tool for promoting the website.

Nigerians And Facebook: What Is Your View?

Facebook fans from Nigeria is over 340, 000 and keeps growing by the day. In January, when the number of active Facebook fans from Nigeria was slightly over 200, 000, we predicted approximately 600,000 Nigerian Facebook active users by end of June 2009.

At the rate at which Facebook is growing in Nigeria, it becks the question: Can any Nigerian social networking site break the Facebook flow?

Granted, with over 10 million Nigerians on the Internet, that figure is just a fraction. So is there a way Nigerian social networks can capitalise on this internet population? Can they offer a service that Facebook is not offering?

Again, if Nairaland was a real social networking site (now with over 320, 000 members), could it out-Facebook Facebook? Can Naijapals or Legwork beat Facebook (in terms of Nigerian users)? While I’m skeptical about the possibilities, I think there’s probably something they need to do to achieve this.

Could they leverage on the over 63 million mobile subscribers in Nigeria to provide great social networking features second to none? I think this is possible!

Given the fact that more and more people in Nigeria are accessing the Internet via their mobile phones, social networking sites could take advantage and offer great mobile social networking tools, products and services that would get people to perhaps move away from the Facebook frenzy.

What are your thoughts?
