Well they did it!

Facebook is now the largest social media network on the web. Facebook has now exceeded half a billion users.

Website magazine recently put it into perspective by comparing them to the largest retailer in the world -  Walmart.

Walmart has roughly 20 million people visiting their stores on a daily basis, whereas  250 million people visit Facebook on a daily basis. That's a staggering number of people!

Unlike Walmart, the people on Facebook spend time hang out, sharing stories, pictures, etc and "recommending" products and services to their friends. Its not a traditional retail environment. Its something more powerful.

Public opinion can make or break a product or service. Amazon and other large online retailers have demonstrated the power of product reviews. Good reviews can help increase sales whereas poor reviews can crush a product. The review process on a retail site such as Amazon means the consumer buys the product first then posts the review.

In a social network environment such as Facebook,  the "review" process  is more subtle but just as powerful.

Facebook members talk about anything and everything. The little like button at the top of a page is very powerful. We vote for things in our everyday lives and the like button is just that - its a vote for something. Its a positive "review" without the use of words.

What does this mean for you?

Well, if you are promoting a product creating a Fan Page is an absolute necessity. Unlike a personal Facebook page a Fan Page can be seen by everyone. You don't have to be "friends" with it to view the material.

Have a look at the Fan Page I just created yesterday.

It features a script that encourages the visitor to click the like button before continuing on and getting their free charm. Want to check out the page live? Go to Songster Charms Fan Page

What's more powerful then that little like button? I don't know. All I know is that I have the potential to have 500 million + people click that little button on my Fan Page.

You don't need a store to promote to create a Facebook Fan Page. You could be advertising your blog, a single product, promoting your brand, an affiliate offer. Anything where you want a large number of interactive people.
