The first thing every marketer learns is to listen to his audience. Remember Google Glass? On January 15, 2015, Google announced that it would stop producing the Google Glass. What had happened? A genius team worked on the great idea, they invented the technology of the feature, but there was no audience for it. To know what your audience wants is the most basic part of marketing.

Facebook is the best place to listen to your audience.

Hundreds of years ago people gathered on market places to talk about everything. Now they gather on Facebook. You should be there to:

  • Find out what hurts your audience and what it is interested in.
  • Know the exact language your prospects use to describe their issues.
  • Learn the words they use to describe the success they’re having with your product.

How can I monitor Facebook discussions effectively?

The easiest way to keep track of your audience on Facebook is to use the new Web CEO Niche Popular Posts report. This report is part of the Facebook Insights tool.
