There are two ways to network on Facebook

1. Create a Group Page or
2. Create a Fan Page

Creating a fan page for your local business has several advantages compared to a group page:

• You can have unlimited fans. Groups are limited to 5000 people only. If you think you might never reach 5000 people, think again. Even a small obscure business can have over 20,000 fans in under a year due to viral marketing. Word spreads so fast on the social networks especially when your business gets featured on a TV show or a celebrity endorses your product.
