I'm just trying to understand this facebook thing...

Am I correct that in a fan page you cannot have "friends"?

What is the point of a fanpage and how does it help in promoting your business?

How do more "likes" help you and why does everybody want them?

I think the purpose of like pages is to just get your name out there. Since Facebook is so big right now a post on a like page can potentially reach thousands of people. Whereas it would only reach your friends on your personal page (unless you make every status public).

I've found that like pages are very handy for people that seem to always be in some sort of voting competition.

Here's mine! (hand typing so hopefully it works). www.Facebook.com/pages/Kimberly-Diane-M … 7028648510

True. You have "fans", or more correctly people who have 'liked' your page. Unless you have set your actual profile to allow messages from non-friends, they can see your updates but can't message you. They also won't know what your actual profile is unless you provide a link somewhere on the page.

The more people who see your work (and name) on a regular basis, the more likely that they will think of you when they need your services.

It's just free advertising. Every time I post something on my page, thousands of people see it and it costs me nothing.

Here is my fan page. I would enjoy hearing some input as well. For me I like using facebook for networking. While my own page is still relatively new, I can link it to twitter and it can be seen by local business. Not to mention every person within the network of each person I shoot

It has been worth it, sadly a lot of people here in Puerto Rico don't know about modelmayhem.com. I get a lot more opportunities on fb.

Created a facebook page last september and found it actually very useful as i can peaks in the response according certain images and being aware of trends among the people the visit your fan page (through the insight tab) the statistic are pretty good.

Hiya

I have just recently started a facebook fanpage as I like to keep my personal profile strictly people I know and then photographers and others can contact me through there.
Anyone with fanpages, what is your opinion?? Is it worth it?

Also put all your links to it here!

I just started one. I plan to put all of my portfolio pics on there, because I want to keep my other account only for networking and keeping in contact with those in the industry.
