Now that Facebook pages interact with fans like they are friends it's a great time to make a page for your business. Invite friends, family, other DJ's, other vendors, and of course past-present-future CLIENTS to be fans. Then you can keep in touch with status updates and sharing photos, videos, and whatever else.

Here's mine...show me yours!

I have a hard time with the fan page idea. I have a group with over 400 people and I just don't want to switch over.

On the upside I hear the fan pages, if not already, are soon going to be picked up by search engines where most of FB is still do not follow
 
I have the personal page. Not sure if I want to start the Fan page or not. Link below.
 
To create a page for your DJ business...log into Facebook and click on "Advertising" on the very bottom (next to about). Look on the top next to Advertising and you'll see the word "Pages" with a yellow flag. Click "create a page." Enter some information, upload some pictures, and away you go. It's free. Once you're done, invite your friends and past clients to add themselves as a fan.

A page like this is the best way to represent your business on Facebook. Personal pages are supposed to be for individuals, not businesses or other entities. Groups can be a good way to gather people but they are not as interactive as pages and profiles. You join a group and become a member but unless you manually check the group pages you will never receive an update about it. Pages, however, update on your feed page just like your friends information.

So if you update the status of your page or add a note or a picture everyone who is a fan receives an update.

If you become a fan of CNN or NPR you'll see what I mean.
 
I got a MySpace page after so many others suggested I try it.
to be honest, I haven't touched it since I set it up.
Had a "journal" page thru my local ISP
used that to give out info for my biz, and haven't changed that one in months
ended up with a FreeWeb page
and found it to be a lot of fun to mess with,
so I've been pretty good with THAT one.
Maybe it's because I'm not in this for my main source of income...
but I don't see ANY of these replacing your basic ".com" site.

Yes! the problem is I am too lazy...
I dont have the time to maintain ONE site,
none the less several.
(two different Facebook sites, a MySpace, and the others)
and how long until ANOTHER brilliant website idea comes along!
 
I've wasted a lot of time on MySpace in the last few years. Went to a lot of trouble to make a page for my DJ business and add over 1,000 friends...mostly local people and businesses. I have neglected it lately - have not checked it or updated it in months, then last month I booked a wedding through it. Goes to show you never know.

A little tip about Social Media:

Myspace is now geared mainly for the teen and younger adults and is focused on "entertainment" (music, news, etc.) Great if you want to focus your marketing on Bar & Bat Mitzvahs and school dances.

Most adults have jumped ship to Facebook using it to connect with family, classmates, and old work buddies. It has a better demographic for those of us looking to book weddings and such. Not only are the amount of users on Facebook increasing, but the amount of time they spend on Facebook, and how many times they check it throughout the day is steadily increasing.

Linked In is better suited for trying to get corporate & "professional" clients. It is more business-oriented and less social than the other 2.

...And Twitter has been exploding fast, but most people don't know what to do with it yet... It has a learning curve! (Follow us on twitter as well! http://www.nlfxpro.com/blog/twitter )

Linkedin is the "business" version of social networking.

You can post an online resume and find future employers, be viewed as an expert in your field by giving "answers" or you can network with other businesses through your connections or through themed discussion groups of like-minded professionals. The great thing about networking with businesses through linked in is you have access to people that you never would have in the offline world. When you know who they are and what there job position is and at what company, it makes it easier to get those corporate gigs! You can also use your connections, to "introduce" you to new connections basically leveraging your professional relationships in a very useful and beneficial way.
As with all other social marketing, it takes work and a while to figure out how it will best work for you. Just simply putting up a profile and doing nothing while get you exactly that... nothing in return.

Here is a great video explaining LinkedIn that I used in my Social Marketing Seminar: YouTube - What is LinkedIn?
