How To Use Facebook Profile For Your Side Hustle

Facebook page is only making more sense for big organizations or established influencers due to them having ample business funds to run ads for more exposure. You can read more on my post here.

This is why a Facebook profile is a better and more practical option for small business owners, especially if you are a network marketer.

While Facebook does not allow people to use personal profiles primarily for commercial gain, you can use your Facebook profile to indirectly create awareness of your business.

This doesn’t mean you should directly post promotional posts about your business or services on your Facebook profile. Remember this, no one goes to Facebook to buy anything. People on Facebook to see what their friends are up to, to see their latest life updates, to see their kids and to take a break away from their world for a minute. The last thing they want to see is an advertisement for your products.

But hey, they do want to be inspired. They want to feel good. If you can do that, and if they think that you can help them feel even better and more inspired, they will buy into whatever you’re selling. Follow these Facebook marketing tips on your Facebook profile and you’ll have people asking for more information about what you do, instead of blocking and unfriending you.
