Facebook is Fun AND Can Save You Money – Learn How!

Facebook has become incredibly popular in the last few years, and just about everyone knows what it is, even if they don’t have a profile. In case you’re one of the few who hasn’t heard of this social media phenomenon, Facebook is a website that connects you with others. It started out as a way for college students to keep in touch. In fact colleges actually had to sign up for their students to join, and you had to have a valid college email address. Today, Facebook is open to everyone, and it’s huge.

There’s more to Facebook than just posting on someone’s wall (kind of a like a message board where others can respond to what you say or post their own message). You can send private messages, post photos for others to see, and even send online invitations to your friends. Heck, some people have even used Facebook to send out their wedding invitations instead of mailing hard copies!

Then there are the Facebook games. These can be very addictive and a lot of fun. Some of them involve becoming a mayor of a virtual town and trying to grow it into a city, while others involve slaying dragons and battling wizards. Some even require you to get your friends involved and build up a team, like the popular Mafia Wars game.

But what about that “save money” part of the title? Well, you may not see hundreds of dollars suddenly appear in your budget after you create your free (yes, free) Facebook account, but you can save. There are different fan pages for products, services, and even entire companies. We at WildFlower, for example, have our own Facebook fan page. All you need to do is visit it and click on “like.” You’ll start seeing our posts in your news feed. Sometimes, we post links to sites that we thing flower-lovers and gardeners will enjoy. Other times, we post our store specials. Sometimes, that includes discount or promotional codes. That’s where the savings come in! Just watch for these special codes and use them on our website or when you order, and you can save a bundle. It’s not just WildFlower, either—many companies offer their Facebook fans discounts on their products.
