Facebook Friends and Fans Like Great Content not......Massacring.

So what's the point of a cause if there is no affect? Does your Business really need a Fan Page and fans? Is it critical to your financial survival that you are "Liked" on Facebook? YES! But how much of the business information that you provide is being considered "great content" by fewer and fewer of your friends and fans? This video is thought provoking and fairly accurate. Do you know people using Social Media marketing in this way to massacre the masses?

Oddly enough, it's not the first video I had to watch twice to really make sense of it.

It's all about awesome quality content, and that goes for ANY social media networking site, even Facebook. Content on every site should be interesting, relevant, and valuable to your readers and target audience, not just to you. It's called social media marketing and not social media massacring. The real question? "What is Great Social Media Marketing Content?" I'll try and break that down into bite size chunks for you next... stay tuned. :-)

BTW - I loved his last line in this video, how many of us haven't received that one? lol~

Yup, give me a reason to be a Fan of your page. It's not enough to get invites about every little going on - I WANT GOOD CONTENT!... Now if I could make good content consistantly then I would have a fan page of my own.

Brad, it's always about good, relevant content - be it your blog, website, listing presentation, marketing your listing or Facebook! Seems like such a no brainer and yet this is a good reminder, isn't it? See you in a few :)

Oh, now you've got my curiosity up!  I can't wait!  I have refused to allow those Farmville, etc. posts on my FB as I'm sure others have disallowed my real estate ads but, I have sold a listing on FB because of the post to friends there!  It's just such a challenge to figure out how much is too much there--again, I cannot WAIT for your post!

And, yes, I get those Nigerian offers ALL the time--but, you know the sad part of that?  There are actually folks who fall for that scheme!

Brad, it is a saw off between spam, content and irrelevancy. We'll see how fan page works out. Ty

I have hidden every farmville, mafia wars, etc etc that I can. New ones continue to pop up from friends. It's the spam.

Then I open my email and real estate newsletters are in there by the gazillion from people that I've never heard of.   I didn't subscribe, don't know where they got my email..  I've checked out a link or two and many of them are legitimate real estate brokerages...

The answer is Good Content. How do you get people to follow you on twitter? Good Content. How do you get friends to follow you on Facebook? Good Content. How do you get people to read your blog? Good Content.

I agree and I struggle with this everytime I go to share something and sometimes I freeze in action because I question too much.  Personally, I need to find a balance.   I look forward to your upcoming ideas.

Facebook ideas for great content are coming soon...  a few other items popped up on my plate this past week that took precedence. 

Thanks for your patience while I dance around the bullets being shot at my feet!!  lol~

Outside Blog Hit Router Attended Rain Camp

The video is funny and I get the content issue. I am confussed about how to post my AR blog to my facebook page? How do you do it and it looks like it is separate from my personal WALL? I also don't understand the difference between localism blog and my outside blog? How do I promote them and are they different. I know I need to go to university, I just went to Rain Camp and it was over my head.

Hi Sandy - Try the AR staff first and if you can't seem to get an answer, just let me know and I'd be happy to walk you through it.  I'm in New York at the MLS Tech Fair right now.  :-)
