To market and brand your business, a home-based business mom needs more than just a Facebook page, you need a fan page also. Everyone who clicks on as a fan can see whatever you include on the page. this is the beginning or a continuation of building your own tribe.

Your tribe will consist of like minded individuals and you will have the chance to flush out information, latest trends as well as have your updated blog post show up every time you add a new post. Keeping the fan page informative and entertaining will take some effort, but it’s worth it when you get queries through this page. It’s fairly easy to start a fan page.

First, it’s a click on “Advertising,” then “Pages,” and finally “Create a Page.” From there the only thing stopping the stay-at-home working mom is your imagination. There are a number of tabs already included such as “Discussion” and “Video” that can draw readers in. The wall is also customizable and can include pictures, video and blog. Include a daily or weekly update and people can leave comments just as they do on an individual’s page. You can connect your blog post your fanpage so it goes on all your fans’ news feeds. There are many applications that can enhance the page, make sure you check under the applications tab to take advantage of all the treats facebook fan page has in store.

When the page is complete, you can e-mail blast your family, friends and clients to let them know the page exists. I highly recommend you also announce the new page on your regular Facebook page. It’s a good idea to add a link on her Web site to the Facebook fan page and a link on your page to your Web site. Also, Google is very quick to put Facebook pages at the top of the list. The job is to get the page to go viral.

Even in a working mom’s busy day, it’s important to take the time to build (or have your Web designer, if your lucky enough to have one) a fan page. A fan page is the another avenue in the social media world and people are strolling along every day.

Emails, even email blasts, work just fine for ordinary communication, but if the self-employed mom needs her clients to see something she created, for instance, a Web video, then she has two outlets: Youtube and Ustream. Everyone is familiar with Youtube (www.youtube.com), in a lot of cases thanks to Susan Boyle’s Youtube video that went insanely viral. Ustream (www.ustream.com) is slightly different from Youtube because it’s live streaming.

To effectively market a video posted on Youtube is to post it in your blog also. Follow this up with a tweet, a Facebook announcement and an email blast to your blog subscribers and to your alliance partners. Facebook friends can send to their friends and in that way spread the word about your products or services. Since you now have a Youtube account, the site will accumulate all your postings in one place. This means if you post on a regular basis whether weekly, monthly or quarterly, all your posts are in one place.

Ustream is a live feed and so lends itself to something like video conferencing because there’s a section next to the video for people to comment and ask questions. It’s a quick and easy way, pretty much set the camera and go, to brand your services or products and find a global audience. Again, announcements of when you’ll be posting the video are necessary to reach your subscriber base and outreach to others.

Make sure you get the word out there with your video it can make wonders happen for your business. Create and experience that goes viral.
