For example, a local wedding pho<strong>to</strong>grapher could create a local wedding group for people <strong>to</strong> join and<br />

discuss their upcoming nuptials in a particular city. <strong>The</strong> advantage of this approach is the group would<br />

be a hotbed of potential leads! <strong>The</strong> people most likely <strong>to</strong> join the group would be people planning their<br />

weddings, and the more you could answer their questions, the more likely they would be <strong>to</strong> ask you<br />

about your services.<br />

<strong>The</strong> disadvantage of this approach is the group would also attract competi<strong>to</strong>rs. Hence, you would have<br />

<strong>to</strong> be on <strong>to</strong>p of your game in your group. You’d need <strong>to</strong> be the first <strong>to</strong> answer questions, and you’d<br />

need <strong>to</strong> provide the most valuable answers. You also would have <strong>to</strong> create rules <strong>to</strong> prevent businesses<br />

from blatantly posting advertisements, leaving the group open for discussion instead of letting it be<br />

turned in<strong>to</strong> a spam fest.<br />

but<strong>to</strong>n on every page of your website that you would like people <strong>to</strong> share with their <strong>Facebook</strong> connections.<br />

If you prefer, you can change the word “Like” <strong>to</strong> the word “Recommend” in order <strong>to</strong> distinguish<br />

liking content from liking your page.<br />
