As far as I knew you have to pay for adverts on Facebook, that's largely how they make their money. Or do you mean having a business page?

 

If the latter, unless you have the sort of business that brings out new products on a regular basis and has the need to comminicate this to a set of followers, I doubt it will generate much custom. Still, it's unlikely to cause any harm to go for it.

 

Google Adwords is far more effective and doesn't cost much - you set a daily maximum which can be £1.00 if you want. You only pay for clicks onto your site. Your site could of course be a Facebook page...

just as a footnote, I've got one and I don't think any work has come in as a result of it. It probably will one day but I'd be in a bad way if I was relying on it! Adwords gets me about half a dozen clicks a day which is about right for what I'm looking for.

Its free, so it can't hurt

facebook works, but its very hit or miss.

 

if you post a leaflet type picture and tag all your friends, its a good way to generate 20>50 comments and you get 15 enquiries on average.

 

keep the leaflet up on your page, and join local groups and tag it with the groups name.

 

This method works, and has given 30 jobs in 5months and a fulltime contract from a local estate agent.

 

Good luck to everyone who gives this a try.

Steve advertising on Facebook is not free, its just like pay per click.

just put it on your own personal page:confused1:

 

why look to pay for things that you can use word of mouth to do for free.
