TIP ONE: Ask Your Tribe Questions. People Love To Give Their Opinion

For the last few weeks I’ve been posting surveys on Facebook, with an article as the basis for the survey.

So for example, on Smallbiztechnology.com we had an article about web browsers for small businesses.

I then went on Facebook and posted a survey asking my Facebook audience (that’s you), what YOUR favorite browser for business was. These received received thousands of views and thousands of votes, as I recall.

What’s the lesson learned

Instead of using Facebook to try to SELL use Facebook to get insight from your customers or at the very least to simply engage them and interact with them about something related to what you do.
