Facebook finalmente ha intenzione di monetizzare concretamente il proprio social network. In attesa di questa realizzazione sarebbe bene informarsi e studiare a fondo i meccanismi con i quali dare origine ad un Web Marketing efficace con il quale farsi pubblicità e/o mettere a disposizione propri servizi. Lo strumento migliore in circolazione si chiama: Facebook Marketing Bible. Il libro si suddivide in quattro sezioni: strumenti per Guerilla marketing, strumenti per gli inserzionisti, strumenti per sviluppatori di applicazioni e gli strumenti per webmaster. I temi “caldi” affrontati sono: i profili Facebook che diventano pubblici, i doni virtuali, gli inviti API chat e l’importanza del Facebook Connect. Ecco qui di seguito l’indice dei contenuti.
