Here is a video I made which shows you how to add an html box to your profile page on Facebook,allowing your freinds to opt in to your email list.It sits on the left had side of your profile in the applications column.

Please don’t use this to do a blatant pitch of whatever you are selling,people won’t like it and will unfriend you.

What you need is an unobtrusive way of getting people on your list by firstly providing valuable content.Make sure what they are opting into provides that value.Anyway here is the video



Thanks for coming back,please feel free to post any comments you may have.

Facebook is one of the four social media sites you need to build a presence on,if you are to reach out to your audience.Facebook differs from Twitter in that if you want to follow someone,they must approve you first.With Twitter you can follow anyone without their approval.

Nonetheless,Facebook allows you to tell the world more about yourself,so that people get to know you alot better than they do on Twitter.I am doing a series of videos on Facebook explaining how to use it and how it all works.The first is shown below.
