Something worth sharing from the Waves Audiophiles facebook page...

About 6-8 years ago I was a part of a few songwriting forums. They were very busy places. You'd post your song for critique and turn your back and you were on the second page already.

Yikes! I finally set up a few accounts on FB, mostly to connect my painting business and the other, to setup a global way new members can sign up to RO using their FB account. One easy signup.

Could anybody give me 10 minutes advice on how to use Facebook to market? Happy to swap my limitless knowledge on colorful guitar straps and playstation games.

This might not be completely revolutionary but I have been trying to find a way to sell my own merch on FB for a while without taking a bath on it.

I learned about FBML and created this tutorial that I thought some here might benefit from.
