Getting targetted traffic from Facebook

Posted 3rd May 2009 | View Comments

With millions of users around Facebook is one of the most widespread social networks around and it can be a very good source of targeted traffic as well. There are many ways to get targeted traffic from Facebook including Facebook ads but today I'm going to focus on getting targeted traffic from Facebook groups. If you have created a Facebook group or if you are an administrator of a Facebook group you have the option of sending a message to all members. This goes straight to users Facebook In box so your message has a good chance of being read. Recently I sent a mass message to all the members of a group which I was an administrator. It wasn't an affiliate link but rather a link to the review I have done of a product and of course the review had an affiliate link ;) . At the time I sent the message the group had 997 members. I had 48 visits from Facebook the day after that and I had made two sales which amount to 104$. Thing to notice is I didn't spend a cent to get traffic and I only spent about 5 minutes writing a brief description ( I have already written the review ) before sending the message.104$ is not bad for 5 minutes work :) .

As you can see being an administrator of  a Facebook group is like having your very own mailing list where you can instantly get traffic to your web pages, the only difference being Facebook handles the mailing and you don't have to pay a cent to maintain the list :) . As any Internet marketer will tell you don't abuse the list, use it sparingly and send some valuable ( preferably free stuff ) to the group as well. Gain there trust and they are more likely to buy from you. Comments are always welcome and if you know of some other ways to earn money from Facebook feel free to share them in the comment section.
