Do you find Facebook to be effective for business promotion?

The interesting thing about building a downline is that unless you can train the people how to duplicate your success the retention rates are going to be to low, requiring massive recruiting on a daily basis for sign-ups. That is what I don't like about most multi-level and network marketing programs.

Some days! Other times, I just get annoyed when I post something and other internet marketers just think that's an invitation to start hitting me up with their opps.
So then I get disgusted and leave...and then I keep crawling back...lol

not much better than i expected because no one wants to try promoting links on fb.

I have found that marketing on Facebook is best if you are offering services to help small business owners and other marketers with improving their brand online. Since there are lots of members trying to promote themselves on the social network, many of them need more traffic and tools to help them grow their businesses, so if you can offer them help in this area then you can be successful with Facebook connections. And as was mentioned if you are good at Facebook ad campaigns then you can reach

Yes Facebook is effective way to promote our buisness

The only trouble promoting business on FB is that some links are not able to be posted as it is marked as spam.

Buy advertisement in facebook you get results

I haven't found FB to be much for business. The groups are just spam to spam. I think it is according to what type of business, if you are putting it out to all your friends. You don't want to be a member of the NFL Club. (No friends left)

Facebook one of the effective ways to promote business. But it requires a certain way so that maximum results, such as how to get 1 cent facebook clicks.

Thanks, everyone for your input. @Iris just curious what type of business do you promote on FB? Is it product sales or services?

99% of my business is done on facebook, i use other social media too, but they are way less effective! Only problem is that facebook blocks you if you accept too many friends, send too many friend requests, chat too much, so their rules & regulations suck bigtime. But those who believe friendship brings you more business will agree that facebook is the best resource for online business.

No I believe that Facebook is more of a social environment where you can keep in contact with long time friends

Yes is cool for promoting business since it has over 500milion members

It is one of the best way to promote your business.

I have pages set up for business purposes but seem to get spam or visitors who are not responsive. Anyone want to share their stories about ways to use FB for business?
