Here are 7 reasons you need a Facebook fan page now

Facebook fan pages aren’t  just for large corporations interested in getting involved in social media. Small businesses, entrepreneurs, freelancers and other professionals can benefit from having a fan page on Facebook.

Separate from your personal profile, a Facebook fan page is a public profile that lets you share your products, services and related information with other Facebook users. Here are some of the biggest reasons you should create a fan page today.

7 Reasons You Need a Facebook Fan Page

1. There isn’t a limit to the number of fans you can have. This makes fan pages especially valuable for Facebook users who reach, or are approaching, the 5,000 friend limit.
2. It gives you a way to talk to and get feedback from your target audience, because like a user profile, you can update your fans with statuses that will appear in the news feed.
3. It’s an SEO boost. Facebook is currently the second most popular site on the Web according to Alexa.
4. You can customize the design using FBML, Facebook’s version of HTML. Check out the Static FBML app for more.
5. You can easily promote it with tools provided by Facebook.
6. The Facebook Pages Insights analytics tool gives you useful information about your fans and their interactions.
7. You can build a community for your clients and prospects.

* Bonus Reason:

8. You can add unlimited photos and videos.

5 Easy Steps for Creating a Facebook Fan Page

Step 1: Go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

Step 2: Select a category and enter the name for your page (you can set your fan page to be private until you’re ready to go live).

Step 3: Add a picture and become a fan.

Step 4: Edit your page settings. This is where you customize your page, including country and age restrictions, wall settings, tabs, fan permissions, and applications.

Step 5: Publish and promote your page. You can promote with a fan box, a Facebook ad, by suggesting to friends, on your personal profile and in your other networks.

Bonus: Once you hit 25 fans, go to http://www.facebook.com/username/ to create a vanity URL for your page.

For Rocco Castellano, over-the-top is his everyday language. As an internationally known and controversial fitness expert, author, fitness personality and business coach with a career spanning over 31 years, this East Coast Italian has an opinion on everything. This guy can raise your heart rate just by sitting next to you. His booming voice fills a room regardless of the size, and you really never know what will come out of that mouth when he opens it.

With a name like Rocco you just know he was bred on the streets of New York with attitude dripping from his veins. He loves controversy, embraces confrontation, and he’s even developed new uses for the word F*CK. (Believe me; Colin Farrell has nothing on this guy.) You can ask him about anything and he’ll respond with an answer that is filled with attitude. The funny thing is that once you start listening to him you’re forever hooked. It doesn’t matter if you hate him or love him, you will listen to what he has to say.

Rocco seems to surround himself with beautiful people. One has to wonder if he has had an effect on their lifestyles and their attitudes. Whether he is training celebrities or contestants for Miss USA, or just posing for photos at an upscale social event, Castellano is always in good company.
