When I was in my first year of college, there was this new Internet website the student began to rave about, it was known as "The Facebook.
"This was completely changing the way we interacted with people on the net.
Before "Facebook" there was "MySpace" but the company was changing rapidly and this new system seemed to be more promising and exciting.
The new platform application was initially open to only colleges, but soon high school students, and now everyone from all over the world has joined in.
This transition has exploded over the past five years leading to present day and the power Facebook has on an individual's business.
When someone applies for a job, the employer checks the Facebook profile of the job applicants.
One day I started to think about using Social Media to build my business.
I realized this was a completely untapped market and there are many people out there right now who you are using this platform to build successful businesses.
This is something I needed to learn how to do.
This is exactly what I did, and I want to explain the benefits of creating a following on Facebook.
If you have people following you on your Facebook fan page, this is giving you as a person and your company social credibility.
This is huge when someone is going to do business with you and is able to see the amount of credibility you are already bringing to the table.
The advertising capability has increased in the recent months on Facebook and is going to explode in the near future.
Facebook is right around 550 Million users and in the next year is headed to 1 Billion users.
This company is expanding so quickly it is hard to keep track.
Do you know the impact this will have on advertising?It is incredible the impact Facebook is having on the way companies are advertising.
The Internet is completely changing the ways we are bringing marketing and advertising to the people.
Is your company prepared for the rapid changes in technology and social media?
