Make Facebook Work For Your Business: The complete guide to Facebook Marketing, generating new leads, finding new customers and building your brand on ... Social Media Work For Your Business 1)

For years I resisted Facebook, because I didn't understand what all the excitement was about. I eventually joined to stay connected with a childhood friend, but I never got into things like posting selfies (working on it) or watching the videos others thought were so funny. I had better things to do with my time--like read a good book--I'd almost always think. Then, I found and joined the closed B-School group on Facebook and discovered several like-minded people. People that loved books, loved learning about building and how to run a business. I was shocked! Was this the same Facebook that I'd largely ignored for years with the videos of people dancing on their heads? I discovered that I could love Facebook. I started using it more, then I hit another wall. I saw what others were doing, but I didn't understand how I could do it myself. I reached out for help and got all sorts of responses, estimated costs from coaches and people willing to help me use Facebook to find and communicate to my target audience. Hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars in costs some of them quoted and I had to pass. Then, Alex Stearn announced that her book, "Make Facebook Work For Your Business" was now available on Amazon. I got it and read it within a week. I didn't even want to sleep. Just read. Now I know exactly what I need to do and guess what? It didn't cost me hundreds or thousands of dollars. Prior to reading this book I did not understand exactly how I could use Facebook to find the people I want to reach. Now I understand, and that, is priceless! Reading this book has inspired me to use Facebook more overall--for business and personal. I now have a clear understanding about what Facebook is capable of helping me accomplish along with a step by step guide for what I need to do to accomplish my goals. I'm excited about revamping my Facebook page using the advice given in this book. Thank you so much Alex Stearn! This book is a wonderful gift.was in the dark about the potential that Facebook

This is a well structured and informative read. The steps laid out by the author from beginning to end are very logical and sympathetic to the stages involved in using Facebook for business.I have read quite a lot on this subject matter and felt rather equipped with my knowledge, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn a few more tips and insights that I'll be tweaking and applying to my own Facebook marketing plan.The only downside to this guide is the lack of illustration. It was a bit text heavy for me. But other than that, I'd highly recommend this guide for anyone regardless of their experience in using Facebook for business. I will be using this book as a reference in the coming weeks. Thanks you!

Great book for businesses new to Facebook. Alex Stearn writes a book that is full of excellent information with a clear foundation for making Facebook work for your business. The author really goes in depth to make the reader understand why a long term investment in this social media giant is worth making. The ideas for marketing strategies and how they can help your business find fans are very helpful. This is not some flimsy, fluffy ebook, but chockfull of well researched material. I see it also as a great reference guide for Facebook marketing. I highly recommend it for any business wondering what all the hype is with social media and how to implement campaigns once a convert. I plan to read her other social media books now I know this author really knows her stuff and shares it so generously. Well written, well organized, a powerful read.

I first starting using Fb for selling things three years ago. Had I read this book back then, I would have been far bettter off than I am now. it is very informative and takes you step by step to all the things you need to know and do to have more success on FB.I agree with a fellow reviewer that it has a few typos, but I find it unfair to give it 3 stars based just on that.

I love Facebook and had thought a lot about ways I could use social networking to promote my business. This book offers a lot of great ideas and now I have the confidence to get up every day and really feel like I have a plan and will be successful. Growing any kind of business is tough and a person needs to utilize all the tools available!

This is a fabulous book. I have highlighted a bunch of pages and will be referring back to them as I tweak and update my FB Business page. It is clear and concise and answers many questions for how to make FB work for your business. I really found this book to be so useful. And it is a great deal for the price.

ONLY FOR BEGINNERSGreat book for beginners but not for regular/experienced users of facebook.The book mainly LISTS WHAT fb can do, but doesn't really explain how to achieve those things & lacks any real life visual examples (which is ironic as the book constantly mentions how important visuals are) It also has no actionable strategies.Its a good place to start if you are new to fb but is not suitable if you are looking for HOW to use fb, action plans & strategies for theseSocialmediaexaminer.com & the digitalmarketer.com are pretty good.

If you're looking for a book that gives you a good grounding in how Facebook marketing works best for your business, this is it. Easy to read, straightforward, and thorough. This book will help you lay the foundation for a successful Facebook page. It includes information on understanding your goals, how to build an audience, what to post, running competitions and events, apps, advertising and how this should tie in with your website and increase your email leads.
