Facebook to Expand Into Mobile Market

Facebook, flush with cash, is making mobile a priority and planning to snap up mobile start-ups to beef up its arsenal to compete with rival Google.

 

The Palo Alto, Calif.-based social network, which recently raised $1.5 billion with the help of Goldman Sachs, is gearing up for a shopping spree.

“We’re really focused on acquisitions,” said Bret Taylor, Facebook’s chief technology officer. “Every investment we make is aligning ourselves with the vision of being a platform company.”

While mobile-payment services and location-based products would be targeted, Taylor constantly addressed the mobile market as the main focus for its expansion plans, and addressed the challenges of reaching its growing mobile audience.

“Mobile is the primary focus for our platform this year,” he added, citing that smartphone users were growing faster than any other segment.

Taylor said some 200 million people now access its website from a handset, a user-base that is twice as active as its desktop counterpart. But that expanded use has comes with technological hurdles. For instance, each time a change is made to its desktop website, seven version need to be altered to match the various mobile operating systems, such as Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android and Research in Motion’s BlackBerry platforms.

To cope with the challenge, Facebook has invested in HTML5, a new Web standard, to unify its experience across all mobile platforms. It is also rewriting all of its apps with HTML5 so that they work across all smartphones.

“HTML5 is the future platform,” he said. “That’s where we’re putting a huge amount of our resources.”

The company will roll out “Places” to leverage location-based services, similar to rival Foursquare, as well as make Facebook Connect — a feature that lets users sign-in once to be connected across all Facebook-related apps — accessible to more users. And last week, it launched a new mobile app, called “Facebook for Feature Phones,” which brings the social network to non-smartphones.

Use Social Media to Build Your Brand

It pays to network and rub shoulders virtually with potential customers on the Web. Developing a database of strategic contacts on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter is a cost-effective way to generate buzz about your business and market your products and services. When the economy hit the skids in the fall of 2008, Lore Systems quickly felt the fallout as customers stopped investing in IT to shore up cash. The company, which provides high-end VoIP phone systems, enterprise-network engineering and Internet hosting, saw its nonrecurring revenue plummet 70% through the end of 2009. To turn the tide, CEO Tien Wong revamped the company’s product line to focus on a hot-ticket item: cloud computing. He invested more in routers, servers and storage-area networks to build capacity.

At the same time, he aggressively marketed Lore through his large personal database of 6,000 contacts on Facebook and LinkedIn. A serial entrepreneur who sold a successful call-center business seven years ago, Wong has a universe of consultants, VCs, CEOs, CTOs and contractors with whom he communicates regularly. By using e-mail blasts to announce new product offerings, industry awards, and VIP tours of Lore’s data centers, the CEO has been able to win about a dozen contracts valued at $500,000 a year for the company. That’s led to a profit of $700,000 on $5.5 million of annual revenue. “This really is a powerful communications tool,” notes Wong. “It’s not a replacement for old-fashioned face-to-face meetings, but it is a great way to keep your name in front of customers.”

What are the Benefits of a Facebook Fan Page?

Why? A Facebook Fan Page is designed to be searchable on all the major search engines.

Meaning someone who doesn’t have a Facebook acccount can find your Facebook Fan Page and read your content (Depending on your settings).

Personal Facebook Pages depending on your security settings are limited as far as who can find you and access the content you are providing because they need to have an account on Facebook before they can request you as a friend.

A Facebook Fan Page also has the ability to create custom Tabs with FBML and use Facebook Apps like, Facebook polls, Facebook giveaways, and Facebook lead generation capture forms.  (If you are interested in this type of Dynamic Facebook Fan Page…contact Kelly Pope).

Most important though is that it’s against the Facebook end user guidelines to use a personal page for business self promotion. Even if you are a public figure.

The whole purpose for Facebook creating a Facebook Fan Page was to give business, artist, public figures a place where they can promote themselves on the Facebook Network.

Now I know there are some people out there who are promoting themselves through their personal pages. The problem here is that if Facebook catches wind of it they can shut down the account without warning and then all the connections that you made will be lost and you will have to start over regaining your Facebook  fan base.  I know these people!  That may be why you cannot have more than 5000 friends on a personal Facebook page?

Let’s not forget if you are in business or a network marketer it is best to brand yourself the proper way.  As a network marketer I tell em all…you need to brand yourself before you brand your product.  It takes sometime to understand this strategy of branding.  Branding is the same as trust value… You need to be trusted and visible to people to want to meet you and have the attraction marketing you are looking for.  I always say it is not the point of attracting what you want? It is being who you are that attracts others to become involved in your program just as it does in business itself.
