Millions of people use Facebook everyday to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet. So, my guess is that if you have a product or service offering, chances are that at least a few of those millions of active users (which spend about 55 minutes a day on the site) are prospective customers of your business. The question is, what do you do about it?

There was a time when only big businesses with big marketing budgets could setup a Facebook account for their companies and/or brands. For these brands, Facebook users could become "fans" by adding the brand as a friend (much like they would add a person as a friend). This was pretty cool, but pretty expensive for those companies that wanted to tap into this feature.

Now, any business can create a Facebook profile, or business page, which any Facebook user can become a "fan" of. Consider these statistics:

• Facebook now has 1 billion active users
• 50% of active users log on to Facebook in any given day
• More than 35 million users update their status each day
• More than 55 million status updates posted each day
• More than 2.5 billion photos uploaded to the site each month
• More than 3.5 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, etc.) shared each week
• More than 3.5 million events created each month
• More than 1.6 million active Pages on Facebook
• More than 700,000 local businesses have active Pages on Facebook
• Pages have created more than 5.3 billion fans 

• Average user has 130 friends on the site
• Average user sends 8 friend requests per month
• Average user spends more than 55 minutes per day on Facebook
• Average user clicks the Like button on 9 pieces of content each month
• Average user writes 25 comments on Facebook content each month
• Average user becomes a fan of 2 Pages each month
• Average user is invited to 3 events per month
• Average user is a member of 12 groups

The problem is that you're so busy running your own business, juggling friends and family, little Jimmy's junior league games and Suzie's dance recitals, how do you have time to keep up with all of the e-marketing you should be doing to grow your business?
