Facebook Seminar
These last four days I have been at a seminar here in London. It was all based around facebook . There were so many speakers telling us their stories and basically how they are all earning a good living of the back of facebook.
Anyone that is involved in Internet Marketing will tell you how fast this industry moves and if you don’t want to get left behind you really do need to keep up with all the latest strategies.
I was amazed at how in a short space of time facebook has moved up the ranks, if it was a country it would be the 3rd largest country in the world, they have 6 billion users and growing every day.
The average user spends 19.5 minutes a day on facebook & they visit facebook at least 4 times per day. 31% of Facebook users are over the age of 35 (that is over 150 million people on facebook!)
Facebook already has many great features, but they are going to be introducing more soon, one of which will be their own search engine, another is email, this is a great one, facebook mobile which you will be hearing more and more about, basically facebook can tell you via your mobile phone what local businesses are in the area that you are in at that particular time.
Google is already finding Facebook to be a real threat to them and they have great reason to as well, as facebook in my opinion will take over Google! The London seminar this weekend just gone was oversubscribed because Facebook is a brand name and everyone knows who or what facebook is, it sells itself & it is definitely a very powerful marketing medium out there today.
It is amazing to think that 2 students started this up just to keep in touch with their university friends, they would never imagined at the time that they were heading for I believe it is estimated at 6 billion pounds on the market today business, that is well known right around the globe!
Facebook is the most targeted market on the planet.
The industrial mindset says we are in bad times and they could be getting worse, e.g. look at the economy etc…. but the Entrepreneur mindset says we are in the best times ever, exciting times, the best time to be born in, as with all this amazing technology, e.g. internet etc., you can have for example a global business, not just a local business, they actually say it will cost you more to set up a local business than it would to set up a global business via the internet & which one do you think would make you the most money? Exactly, global, as now you have the world at your finger tips, not just the local people in your area!
