Facebook will be hanging around for a long while. It was believed it might be a temporary thing but it appears it's here to stay. Thus, many internet marketers have been hurrying to establish their pages and accounts on this platform for quite a bit. Luckily, it appears that the platform has plenty of room for everyone.
Did you know that you can use Facebook via text message now? This works well for Internet Marketers who have "real world" contact with their clients and partners as well as Internet contact. People can "like" you automatically by sending "fan yourusernamehere" to the short code from Facebook. The biggest problem with this approach, though, is that you do need a dedicated username and a minimum of twenty five followers for it to be effective. So, why not implement this approach once you have everything you need?
Make good use of the share button on Facebook. Every so often, put up an image or some type of content on your fan page and blast it out to your fans. Have them share whatever you sent out with the people in their network. This helps you gain exposure to new people who might like your page. Imagine what could happen if your content is liked well enough to get shared over and over and over again. It could be weeks or even months before that piece of content runs out of steam. If your fan page has a lot of photos, this can help a lot. This is especially important if you often have live events or participate in live events. After you post your images, people can tag themselves if they are in the images. No need to upload or download images anymore. Once they are on your page and people tag them, they are automatically shared. Not only do photos make your page more interesting, it causes people to look around. You might want to start thinking about doing more live events so that more images can be posted on your page.
Make certain that you sign all your emails with your Facebook fan page. Considering it contains your contact info and website address, your signature might be getting quite long. Still, one more line of URL for your Facebook page won't take up a whole lot more room. It's a great way to let people know that you use the social media service and that they can like it to show their support. This way you'll be telling every single person with whom you correspond about the page. Some people will "like" you simply because they enjoy doing it!
There are a lot of ways for you to become more popular on Facebook. You can include the URL in your emails or put it up on your sites. Competitions can be organized. The page can be directly advertised. The key to success is being creative. It won't suffice to just create the page. You have to do a lot of work to make sure it deserves to be "liked" and once you've done that it won't take long before you can take advantage of your Facebook popularity to increase your sales.

Social media updates,
ReplyDeleteEverybody wants to know what to post on Facebook, what to Tweet about, or what to leak out to your network on LinkedIn. There are 5 main posting strategies that I go by and teach as part of my Social Media Strategy & Review. Each type has a best practice involved, delivers a unique end result, and is used for different reasons.
Here we go:
facebook,
Picture Posts—Probably the most often talked about (and in my opinion over rated) because of the large amount of space they take up in the newsfeed of Facebook.
twitter,
This makes your post more noticeable. Plus, people love to comment, share, and like pictures so engagement should be high on pictures. Though this should be the case, I can say that it does not ring true with my audience on Facebook. I have the lowest engagement on pictures. Test your audience.
Text only—Just that, a post with no pictures, videos, or anything fancy.
,posting strategy,
Keeping it simple. These are actually where I get the most engagement on my page contrary to popular “guru” discussion. A few months back Facebook actually changed up the algorithm. Imagine that.
Quotes—Most people love quotes, but some hate them so try not to overdo it with proverbs and the sort.
twitter,
There are two ways to do quotes; either as text within a photo or as just a plain text only post. You don’t have to leave it as just the quote either, say something about it. Why is it relevant? What does it mean to you? What might it mean to your audience?
Links—Are a great way to provide content on the fly. If you come across an informational article or helpful tool your fans,
facebook,
followers, circles, or connections can find value out of simply copy and paste the link. Now here is the biggest mistake when using links; it is when someone posts just the link with no teaser line or reason why someone should want to click on it. This is a major fail too if you are providing a link to your blog or other content which you should definitely be doing to generate leads from your social media efforts.
Videos—Videos can be entertaining, informative, and promotional with high viral opportunity.
Social media updates,
Videos can easily go viral with platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and now Vine. Most of the time your videos will be relatively short, especially if you want the whole thing watched. In Facebook the videos can also take up more space in the newsfeed, again just like pictures, catching the eye of more of your audience.
Play around with each type and see which best resonates with your audience. Every audience is truly original and you must cater your delivery to your audience and not just blindly post based on the words of some “guru.” Trial and error is the best way with social media. Do more of what is working.
