The differences between Facebook Page and Facebook Group

Here is some information shared by one of our successful member, Kok Wai about using facebook as a marketing tool in your Vemma business.

Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites online and offers varied options for marketing yourself and your Vemma business opportunity online.

I have been asked by many Vemma members as to how to go about choosing to create a facebook page or a facebook group for marketing your Vemma business opportunity online. I have created a chart below to show the differences between facebook pages and facebook groups and hope this helps you to make a decision.
