A while back, I ran a  Facebook poll on my blog asking readers if they were getting business from their Facebook pages — 44% said “No,” 33% said “Yes,” 14% said “They didn’t know” if they were getting business and 9% said they were not using it to get business.

If you are not getting the business results you want out of Facebook, then it is time to re-evaluate your micro-strategy (you have one, right?), and if you don’t know if you are getting results, then you are probably not measuring your efforts.

My plan was to write a blog post in response to the poll; however, Jeff Ente from “Who’s Blogging What” contacted me to tell me he is using one of my quotes for a new guide Facebook guide.

The timing was perfect and thought it was an excellent eBook to share with my blog readers who are still struggling with how to use Facebook for business.  This 30-page complimentary guide on how to create, manage, and grow your Facebook pages was prepared by a team of professional observers, bloggers, consultants and users of Facebook business pages.

Here is sneak peak at the table of contents:

The eBook can be downloaded on the HubSpot website.  BTW, my quote is on page 27 of the guide.  (ADDED April 2011) Also, there is a new update since the book was released.  Here is information on the new one:
