The newly revised, expanded, and hot-off-the-press Facebook Marketing Bible: 50+ Ways to Market Your Brand, Company, Product, or Service Inside Facebook – March 2010 Edition is now available!
The Facebook Marketing Bible has been purchased by thousands of agencies, marketers, social application developers, entrepreneurs, and educators, and is the leading resource on Facebook marketing today.
In addition, Inside Facebook is happy to announce that through March 31st all customers who purchase the Facebook Marketing Bible will also receive a free $25 Facebook Ads advertising credit (see terms), courtesy of Facebook.
Introduction
A large and growing portion of some of the most valuable demographics are spending more of their time and attention on Facebook and less on other channels and media. Not only are US college students and teenagers fully engaged in Facebook, but adults, professionals, and people from around the world now constitute a substantial portion of the Facebook user base as well. Today, over 400 million people worldwide are active on Facebook each month, including 100 million in the United States, with over 500,000 new people joining each and every day.
However, most marketers lack a comprehensive understanding of the vast array of explicit and implicit marketing channels Facebook offers – many of which have changed with the “new” Facebook designs – and most of which are “viral.” My goal here is to provide an introduction to what’s possible on Facebook to the spectrum of marketers – from brand advertisers to volunteer grassroots evangelists. Tactics are divided into four categories: tools for guerilla marketers, tools for advertisers, tools for application developers, and tools for webmasters. Throughout and after each section, we’ve offered recommendations for your Facebook campaign strategy.
Facebook offers many ways to get the word out and enable engagement with your brand in more compelling ways than were ever before possible on the web. Here’s how to get started.

I have been fascinated by Facebook and done quite a lot of work with my two companies to build our brands using Facebook. I have a couple of people helping with marketing, and unfortunately, one of them decided to do a bit of spring cleaning on his “Page adn Ads admin” and deleted our Facebook page.. and just like that – two clicks and everything is gone forever… no back up, no recovery tool, no email confirming that you really wanted this, no email to the admin even telling that your page is gone, no “please enter password” – just “DELETE” and “are your sure DELETE”………. five emails to Facebook… no reply… no help and no recovery
With this in mind.. is Facebook more than a toy tool?…a social phenomenon

I want to complain about a trial offer posted by Green Tea Fit. They were advertised on Farmville for extra FV money. I agreed to try their product on 8/28/09, I then called my so-called “membership” via email on 9/9/09. I later (on 9/12/09) received a charge to my bank accout for $59.41 (membership fee) and $4.95 shipping fee for the product I paid $$3.41 for on 8/28/09. When I called Green Tea Fit they told me I not only had to cancel my membership but also return the product to avoid the membership fee. This is ridiculous and a very costly mistake. I believe it was a subliminal deceit by the company and am very unhappy they charged my account $67.77 for a product I didn’t even like. When I called they stuck to their guns saying I didn’t follow proper protocol to avoid these excessive fees.
I wanted you at Facebook to know about this and to put a stop to false advertising on your website. I also never received the extra coins to my Facebook Farmville account and am also unhappy about that.
