Facebook: The Fastest Growing Website on the Internet, and a Great Business Opportunity

Facebook is the most valuable website on the internet right now. It is quickly outpacing MySpace, and the demographic of users is spreading out more and more every day. Just about everyone is plugged into Facebook, grandmothers and college students alike, or will be in the near future.

Although most people use Facebook for personal reasons, by interacting with friends and family members, smart business owners are also paying attention to Facebook. When you consider the fact that the average user has somewhere around 75 "friends" in their social network, and that over 150 million people are users, it becomes very hard to ignore its power as a marketing tool.

As a business owner, one of the benefits of leveraging Facebook is maintaining relationships with long term leads, consumers who are interested in a service or product like yours but are not ready to make a purchase decision. Keeping these future consumers in your network now and developing relationships with them and making them familiar with your business gives you a much better chance of being the person they reach out to when they are ready to buy.
