]]> Comment on How magazines can use Facebook by Kumar (Kem) Balani http://magazinesonline.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/how-magazines-can-use-facebook/#comment-460 Kumar (Kem) Balani Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:38:48 +0000 http://magazinesonline.wordpress.com/?p=532#comment-460 I am the Founder and Publisher of BIZ INDIA Magazine. I started it in 2002. We set up a Facebook page for BIZ INDIA in mid-June. We have a lot of interactivity - about 700 interactions per week - among the 4200 people (Fans) who joined till today, September 27th. We have received some business from advertisers and we are figuring out ways to develop additional revenue. It is easy to get Fans. It is also easy to get them to post comments, likes, links, photos. But we're sort of muddling our way to figure out ROI...or more accurately ROTI (Indian bread). ROTI stands for : Return On Time Invested. And believe me, I have invested a LOT of time, mostly weekends and nights though. So I need to get my ROTI to make it all worth the time invested on Facebook to generate traffic and get interactivity on our BIZ INDIA site there.
