15-MINUTES MEDIA TACTICS: Why Have a Facebook Page?

15-Minute Media Tactics with Sue Henry

Facebook offers much more than casual conversations and staying connected with friends and family. Facebook provides an opportunity to attract and create relationships with your target market.

Recent additions to Facebook Pages (formerly known as Fan Pages) opens the door to unlimited opportunities and potential. Over the next few months, my articles will focus on describing some of these options and how you can effectively apply them to increase visibility, credibility, and profitability in just 15 minutes a day.

But first, I'd like to share some stats so you see the potential of Facebook for business. These stats were compiled and published by Facebook and by http://www.website-monitoring.com/

• More than 500 million active users


• 50% of active users log on to Facebook in any given day - that's 250 million!


• People spend over 70 billion minutes per month on Facebook - an average of 55 minutes per day per active user


• More than 35 million update their status each day


• More than 60 million status updates are posted each day


• More than 3 Billion photos uploaded each month


• Average user is connected to 80 community pages, groups and events


• More than 30 billion peices of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc) are shared each month


• More than 3.5 million events created each month
