What do you think about running a business on facebook?

[john]

I believe Facebook is a great way to advertise your business! Not sure exactly what your business will be but advertising to friends and family is a great way to begin. If you are creating a product and selling it then I would suggest also listing it on places such as: Amazon, eBay, Craigslist, Etsy (A website where handmade items are sold and has a truly interactive community), and other online places.

If it is a service you are selling I would suggest selling on Facebook, then once you have accumulated enough funds, advertising in the newspaper and investing in other means of physical marketing to people. Creating your own website is a big process that can often end up quite costly. In the past I have refrained from creating my own website and stuck to marketing on social media and advertisements such as fliers, postings, and business cards.
