I’ve been reading today other people’s views on building blog readers through using Facebook. It’s not something that I have tried yet, maybe it is time.

I have to say that I steer clear of the social networking website as much as I possibly can. I do not have a personal page there and when people talk about writing on walls and liking whatever, I am struggling to keep up! Recent safety concerns do not exactly inspire me to change this position.

But, I’ve been reading on several other sites (I was researching the idea!) how it can really help a website / business if you have a Facebook fan page and I know of local shops (my own customers) that have and successfully use these to generate more sales.

So, it might be time to make that one small step and see if I can utilise the services of Facebook. I haven’t quite got my head around the total theory yet, but it seems that you get people to follow you then encourage them to discuss you and your topics. In doing so their friends see their comments and find out about you.

The problem – getting those readers in the first place!

It seems to be a sound idea. So if anyone already uses Facebook in this way or has any thoughts on the subject, do let me know. And if I get around to setting it up, not only can I share the tips of how to work it well, but readers can also promote their own blogs there!
