Building a business through social media is not about posting louder. It starts with understanding people, their emotions, and the reasons they choose to buy. Facebook marketing gives people direct access to real conversations, real pain points, and real buyer language. When used well, it becomes more than a platform. It becomes a place to build trust, start conversations, and create clients on demand.
In this episode of the Best Business Podcast, host Daryl Urbanski sits down with Carissa Hill. She is a business growth, sales, and marketing coach based in Brisbane, Australia. Carissa started building businesses as a teenager. By age 24, she had grown her first salon from a rental property garage into three physical locations. Facebook helped her grow, and now she teaches organic social media to other business owners.
Organic Facebook marketing works best when business owners stop seeing numbers and start seeing people. Every post can open a conversation, reveal a need, or point toward an offer buyers already want. Strong content comes from listening, watching, asking better questions, and using the words customers already use. Tune in to learn how Carissa turns simple Facebook conversations into stronger offers and real client demand.

Episode Highlights
Using Facebook Marketing to Grow a Business
Facebook became the main tool behind Carissa’s early business growth.
A salon launched from a rental property garage eventually grew into three physical locations.
Social media helped create visibility without relying on a large traditional marketing budget.
The early growth showed how strong customer connection can turn attention into demand.
Entrepreneurship, Business Challenges, and Early Success
Selling came naturally to Carissa long before she built a larger business.
At 16, simple ideas became small income streams through eBay and school sales.
Those early experiences helped her build confidence in turning ideas into income.
Bigger success brought harder responsibilities, including rent, wages, and taxes.
Hiring Challenges and Staff Management
Managing people became one of the hardest parts of growing the business.
Trust became difficult after an employee stole money and changed business records.
The experience showed why better systems and closer oversight were needed.
Growth became safer when money and daily operations stayed visible to the owner.
Hiring for Strengths and Fit
Hiring based only on personal connection can create weak spots in a team.
A strong business needs people with skills the owner does not naturally have.
Clear hiring criteria help reduce emotional decisions during the selection process.
The right fit should support the role, not simply feel familiar in the interview.
Creating Systems for Business Success
Simple systems make delegation easier for both the owner and the team.
Clear instructions help staff handle sales follow-ups with less confusion.
Written processes reduce repeated training and prevent avoidable mistakes.
Strong systems give employees a better chance to do consistent work.
Mindset and Business Growth
Mindset shaped the difference between clients who got results and clients who stayed stuck.
A fixed mindset can make every challenge feel like proof of limitation.
A growth mindset helps business owners treat new skills as learnable.
Better results often begin when improvement feels possible and worth pursuing.
Facebook Marketing and Human Connection
Facebook marketing works best when the focus shifts from tactics to people.
Strong client attraction starts with understanding emotions, needs, and behavior.
Buyers respond better when they feel seen before they feel sold to.
Human connection makes marketing feel more natural and less transactional.
Storytelling and Relatable Content
Posting on Facebook is similar to speaking in front of real people.
Stories and personal thoughts can create stronger engagement than plain offers.
Questions invite the audience into the conversation and make them feel involved.
Better content helps people relate before they decide to take the next step.
Building Offers From Audience Insight
Audience questions can reveal what people already want from a business.
Simple preferences can guide stronger offers when business owners pay attention.
Listening before selling helps remove guesswork from the marketing process.
Offers become more attractive when they reflect real buyer input.
Using Social Media for Market Research
Social media gives business owners access to real customer behavior.
Facebook groups reveal common questions and frustrations in the audience’s own words.
Voice messages can make outreach feel more personal and less automated.
Market research becomes easier when real conversations guide the next offer.
Facebook Groups and Customer Needs
Lurking in relevant groups can uncover repeated pain points from potential buyers.
Popular threads show what people care about enough to discuss openly.
Buyer language becomes clearer when people describe problems in their own words.
Stronger products and content can come from studying those natural conversations.
Social Media Platforms and Creator Trends
Facebook continues to expand into more content and creator tools.
Platform changes can affect how creators reach and monetize their audiences.
Frustration with other platforms may push creators to test new channels.
Business owners need to adapt as social platforms continue to evolve.
Facebook Marketing and Customer Value
A Facebook group can become a measurable business asset over time.
Revenue divided by group members can help estimate the value of each member.
Knowing customer value makes paid growth decisions more practical.
Monetization needs a clear time frame to help protect cash flow.
Growing Through Organic Social Media
Cheap leads are not useful when they do not become real buyers.
Cost per sale matters more than cost per lead in a growing business.
Organic engagement creates a stronger foundation for future promotions.
A loyal audience can make launches and offers more profitable over time.
Business Growth Through Engagement and Research
Customer pain points should guide content, offers, and follow-up.
Repeated phrases in group conversations can become useful marketing language.
Research tasks can be delegated when the process is clear.
Better growth comes from listening closely before asking for the sale.
