Though, everyone is aware how to post about your product, services, business or website on facebook or Twitter.  I will show some new methods and ways of advertising using these social media.

New Ways of Advertising through Facebook

From past couple of years, people have been advertising their products through posts or through facebook ads.  Now, the trend has changed, now people are advertising through some other easy and reliable ways.

Facebook Events

A Facebook event is a calendar-based resource which can be used to notify users of upcoming occasions. Events can be created by anyone, and can be open to anyone or private. The creator can invite his friends, members of a group, or fans of a page.  If you want to advertise a particular product, service, business, website or blog, you can create an event mentioning the details of your product or business.  You can either create a private event or public event, private event is applicable only for friends, a public event is for everyone.  You can add a video of photo in an event, the working is similar to facebook ads but it is for free.

To create a public Facebook event on your computer:

1. From your News Feed, click Events in the left menu.
2. Click + Create Event on the left side.

4. Fill in the event name, location, date, time and description.
5. Type and select keywords about your public event so it can be better recommended to people who are interested in that topic (example: Food festival).

Depending on the group’s settings, you may have to wait for a group admin to approve your request. Secret groups won’t appear in search results, and a current member will need to invite you. When you join a group other people may be able to see that you’re a member depending on the group’s privacy option.

If you’re joining a group as a Page, keep in mind:

• Group admins may not allow Pages to join their groups.
• Pages can only request to join groups and can’t be invited to join groups.
• If you’ve already joined a group as a profile and want to join the group as Page, you can change who you’re interacting as.
• Only Page admins can request to join a group.
