HOW TO: Set Up a Winning Facebook Fan Page

Facebook Pages are different than profiles. You have a profile for you, Jane Doe, but your business can’t have a profile — it can have a Page. A Page is a place to house all the pertinent information about your company. They’re so useful because you can include everything that relates to your business in one place with a built-in potential audience:

- Overview of company
- Website and contact info
- Press releases
- Videos
- Blog RSS
- Twitter (Twitter) updates
- Company news and status
- Customer interaction

One of the major benefits of a Page on Facebook over (or in addition to) a webpage is that it’s so simple to update. With a website, if you’re not technical, you have to contact your web developer, who will then charge you to make even a tiny change. With Facebook, updates are as easy as logging in and typing or uploading. The fresher your content, the more you will engage people.

Susan Payton did a nice write up on setting up a Facebook Fan page for your company. I think every company should have a Facebook Fan page. Twitter is not necessary for everyone, but Facebook is.

Google makes it official, meta tags are useless.

I think most SEO people knew that google doesn't pay much attention to meta tags. No surprise here. But, keep in mind, other search engines still use meta tags.

TC50 impression and advice from Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh

Tony Hsieh just recently sold his company Zappos, to amazon for over $700 million. This is his second company that he's sold for hundreds of millions (remember Linkexchange). So, when he has something to say about entrepreneurship, I certainly will listen. His advice at the end of this video is something I've been preaching for the last 4 years. It's so cheap to start a web company today, that you really don't need the kind of money that you use to. Do what you can to get your web service up and making money. You don't always need VC.
