Is there a way to market to over 400 million people for free? Yes you can, if you have a Facebook page for your business. Facebook allows any business to create a Facebook profile, commonly referred to as a business page, that any Facebook user can become a "fan" of.

Why would a business create a Facebook profile in the first place?

Let me share some interesting facts with you about Facebook:

More than 400 million active users
50% of active users log on in any given day
More than 1.5 million local businesses have active pages on Facebook
Pages have created more than 5.3 billion fans

Would your business benefit from having a Facebook page? It depends on whether you want to invest the time and energy to create the page and add content on a continuous basis.
