A Facebook landing page is a simple page that you create on Facebook where you want your people to land and provide them enough reasons to like your page and become your fans. That’s why, it is also called fan page.

How do your people know about your Facebook Landing Page?

Your people means those people who are your customers, newsletter subscribers, blog readers, website viewers, friends community people or simply all those people, who have the same common interests that you have.

Normally, they won’t find your Facebook landing page until you provide them the address of your page. You need to provide the URL of your Facebook landing page on your website, blog posts, articles, newsletter, email signature or wherever you like… to help them find your custom Facebook landing page. They visit your Facebook landing page, become your fans or friends and get the privilege to communicate with you in any common topics thereafter.

So, it essentially improves your popularity by increasing your fan base or friend base.

Normally when you register at Facebook, you will be at your default personal page provided by Facebook itself. Here you can see the wall where your normal communications with people can be seen. It is default page and you can’t customize its look and feel.

It is late. But never mind. It is better late than never.

Actually I was busy with my software project for a couple of months. I didn’t get enough time to chat with friends and people face to face. Though I am comfortable in sharing views and spending time with people face to face.

When workload became moderate, one day I thought I should have my Facebook fan page so that I can connect people and friends on it and ultimately I made it.

So, it is ready now. I created a Facebook landing page and added an iFrame application on it.
