Architects and Facebook To build your 'likes' you have to go old school. Keep asking your friends. Ask your friends to ask their FB friends. Email your business associates with your Facebook URL and ask them to check it out and 'like' your page.

There are some additional tips in this post about how an architect might use social media. And there are several places around the web where you can find some HOW-TOs. This is a manual that will help you start your business page.

For many others who need a business-to-business network in order to be found by their potential clients, Facebook just isn't it. Comments are closed.
