Over 350 Million reason why your brand should be on Facebook

[Brandon]

Facebook announced tonight that it has grown to more than 350 million monthly active users worldwide. This is the first official statement the company has made since it reached 300 million users and became “free cash-flow positive†in mid-September. So, by Facebook’s own count, that’s 50 million more users in around two and a half months.This is a slightly slower rate of growth than Facebook has seen in recent months, but obviously still a huge number. A slowdown in growth is bound to happen, anyway. Consider that the company started the year with 150 million monthly actives, and has gained near 50 percent penetration levels in some countries.*

I check Facebook a few times a day, but I also use it to see what my family and friends are doing online.

 

I have fan pages for all my sites, and they all need some work. I think the Sheley Enterprises one looks the best ATM. You can setup your own HTML pages with tabs up top of your fan page, that's how I put my images and social media info.

 

I just have a table setup right now, but I want to see if it'll read CSS as well.

 

So do you use Facebook, and if you do, than do you use it for personal or business?

Hi Brandon,

 

I appreciate you posting this advice and also the write up you did recently on this topic.

 

I have a question for you...

 

When setting up a website Facebook page. What is the best way to go about it? I took your advice and set up a Twitter account for a couple of my more popular forums - that was fairly straight forward. But when I went to Facebook, I wasn't totally sure on what kind of account I should be setting up. Can you advise in this respect?

 

Thanks,

 

-Chris

I plan to use Facebook Connect to greatly brand our current and new sites in the future. Facebook has become a safe bet for a place you want to invest time and money in in regards to your business.
