What is Facebook
Facebook is a social network created to maintain contact with other people. The people you keep in touch with on the web are called users. Once you have them added to your account, you can share information, news and audiovisual content with them.
Facebook is the best known social network in the world. According to the latest studies carried out by Web Escuela, after WhatsApp it is the second most used social network in Spain.
But can only people register? No, companies and large brands can also register. In this way they can share content with their clients and collaborating companies.

Four types of people who use Facebook
Brigham Young University, after conducting an exhaustive study on this social network, defines four different types of personalities that use Facebook.
The study consisted of a survey of 47 people between 18 and 32 years old. They all had to answer fifty questions about their feelings about Facebook.
These are the four types of people who, according to this study, use the second most used social network in Spain:
- The perfect friend. The perfect friend uses social media to build relationships in real life and if you already have them, reinforce them. They hang up their entire album from past holidays, congratulate all birthdays, comment on posts regularly and use Facebook Messenger a lot.
- Selfie addict. As her name suggests, she is a person who loves to upload photos of herself. Share selfies throughout the day. Also recorded or live videos, locations, status updates. She wants to sell herself on social media.
- Crier. It is the natural evolution of the citizen journalist. They share complaint videos, proclaim relevant news and make appeals to society. As in real journalism there are specializations; some just tout food, others travel, fashion, etc.
- Viewer. The Facebook viewer is an expert in the field. His profile seems like a beginner, but in reality he has been open for years. Do not share anything, or comment on anything. It is like a ghost. They only see what others publish, going unnoticed.

5 tips to boost your business with the help of Facebook
In an interview with Patrick Hwuby, Facebook’s director of business for Small and Medium Businesses, he gave five tips for anyone who wants to use Facebook as an expansion tool for their company.
They are as follows:
1-Create your company page
If you are an entrepreneur, do not use your personal profile to deal with issues related to your business. Always use your business account. It will give your company the feeling of professional and, in addition, you will not cause mistakes among your clients. Share all the current news about your business, as well as the products or services you offer.
2-Interact with your followers
It is important to respond to all comments that come to you. This way you will give the feeling to those who do not know you that you are an entrepreneur concerned about his clients and willing to satisfy their needs.
3-Toggle between your publications, photos and videos
The more dynamic content you provide to your users, the more enjoyable and natural your communication will be. Also, if you take care of the aesthetics and quality of your images, your users will be seduced to share them and you will improve your engagement. Before sharing your content, put yourself in the customer’s shoes. Give your clients relevant content for their day to day.
4-Make special offers for clients derived from social networks
Give a value to those customers who are loyal on your social networks. If you acknowledge them, they will thank you. Not only will they continue to comment, but thanks to that discount they will buy and the next time they will do it without the discount and they will bring their friends with them. Special offers derived from social networks achieve surprising results.
5-Promote your Facebook posts
Promote your company’s important publications. This way you will reach more people and they will know you in your sector. When you promote publications, you can segment your audience and choose who will know you. Before advertising on Facebook, it is important that you define your buyer persona well.
