facebook business pages: Facebook Fridays - How to Reach More FB Fans
- 04/24/14 07:58 PM
How do you reach more FB fans? It's an age-old question that has gained momentum the past several months as FB began tightening its grip on our news feeds. You can still have much success through organic methods but if you are looking for a quick fix to sagging FB sales or general fan page malais, spending a few bucks on a FB ad may be the cure for what ails your page!
My advice is to take it slow and put a budget on your spending (say $50 for the first ad OR more if you choose, it's your … (43 comments)

facebook business pages: Facebook Fridays - The Sky is Not Falling
- 04/17/14 09:20 PM
Many FB users have been up in arms this year because Facebook has been tweaking its algorithms. Users are especially upset about what gets seen (or not) on the news feed and the direct impact it has on our/their organic reach. That's OK I say, tweak away! Huh, say what?
The sky is not falling, honest! It just means we need to be smarter with the content we put on our Fan Pages. Quality first, always! It also means we need to be a bit more strategic with our use of hash-tags and the pages we share our content with (you are doing this, right?). It also means we … (79 comments)

facebook business pages: Facebook Fridays - Did You Notice???
- 04/03/14 07:50 PM
You noticed it, right? Please tell me you saw it? Well...did ya? I noticed and I'm not overly observant so I am sure that many of you must have caught it! What is IT? It's the roll-out of the new Facebook Fan Pages that was automatically pushed to users earlier this week.
Personally, I like the new layout a lot and think it is long overdue. All our biz stuff is aligned on the left with our FB content positioned on the center-right. What do you think of the new look?
For complete details on the roll-out changes, and how you can better … (62 comments)

facebook business pages: Facebook Fridays - Ratings and Reviews Made Easy!
- 03/27/14 07:22 PM
Late in 2013, FB "turned on" their Ratings and Reviews feature for desktop users (mobile users have had this capability since 2012) which was immediately met with mixed opinions. Some loved it (obviously these biz owners received positive reviews), some disliked it, and some turned the feature off on their FB Biz Page. Whatever category you fall into, it is worth noting that many consumers rely on ratings and reviews to make decisions about which business entities they want to hire and/or avoid. With that in mind, using this feature might be beneficial to your business model and is worth a … (56 comments)

facebook business pages: Facebook Fridays – How Long is Your Reach
- 03/21/14 12:15 AM
How can we improve our ability to find new or existing consumers via our Facebook Fan Pages if we do not fully understand what Facebook Reach is, how we can leverage it to generate more consumer interest, when we should be trying to engage with the public (and our online friends), and the different types of FB Reach available to us? Don't worry, this won't be over your head, in fact at its basic level, Facebook Reach is the number of unique FB users who see our content at any given time.
Below are some very helpful posts that will explain Facebook … (34 comments)

facebook business pages: Facebook Fridays - Its All About Cover Photos Today!
- 03/06/14 07:41 PM
I know if I was to search the Web long enough I could probably find out the best Facebook cover photo theme to use based on an infinite number of variables such as time of year, B2B vice B2C, industry, holiday schedule, etc. but does being that rigid really matter? I think not, so instead I have put together a fun and educational list of cover photo sites that will provide walk-throughs on how to create a cover photo (including the correct dimensions), where you can create them for free, some inspirational and creative designs, and maybe a few extra goodies … (77 comments)
