” Why should I have a website when I can create a Facebook page for free ? “

 

Makes sense. Websites will cost you some money however Facebook pages are free, easy to use and provides easy content sharing.

There are 1.49 Billion users (average) who logs on Facebook daily to checkout their news-feeds, friends update, or even share a photo or a post they like.

By doing simple math, If you reach 1% of those users, you will reach 14.9 million users worldwide!

Promising numbers indeed. But lets dig a little deeper.

The powerful famous search engine Google is processing 40,000 search query per second, which equals roughly 3.5  billions a day. And by applying the previous logic we used on Facebook, If you reach 1% of those users you will reach 35 million users wold wide. And that for one search engine without mentioning other search engines like Bing, Yahoo, and Ask.com .

 

Okay. But there are a ton of websites out there. How can I compete with them to be on first page results?
