Happy Facebook Fridays, Rainers!

Ya'll are a fascinating bunch! I often get sent emails about this or that concerning FB but 2 of the things that have stuck out recently are:

a) Those that ask me not to showcase their Facebook Fan Page yet because it "is not ready". With the exception of 2-3 pages I have visited, the rest are certainly ready to be seen by the public (don't worry, I always heed your request). Your page does not have to be perfect, just functional to reach and have an influence on consumers. 

b) I am also asked how I come up with 5 new Rainers to showcase each week.  About 80% of the time I "stumble" across them while checking out profiles, following a comment, or just perusing the general AR thread. About 15% come from posts I bookmark each week so I can catch up on my reading as time permits. The remainder are either left in the comments of my weekly post or are emailed directly to me. That's the formula for my FB secret sauce!  ;-)

Once again this week, instead of a common theme, I have decided to provide a little variety with the Facebook tips below. You will find a blend of easy to follow tutorial style content, general information, and even an advanced look at segmentation (sorry no tutorial). Read the content and try one, some, or all of the tips, I know you will find something that can help improve your fan page presence on this list.

Enjoy Rainers!

Happy Facebook Fridays!


PLEASE stop by these Facebook Fan Pages, LIKE their page, and leave a comment. If you are visited, taking a few seconds to follow the comment and LIKE all your fellow Rainers would be appreciated too. Serve and volley, give and take, LIKE and return LIKE...enjoy!

As a quick reminder, when you visit a Facebook Fan Page (like the 5 listed above) make sure to LIKE their fan page from your personal page or the LIKE Counter on their page will not increase. Then go back and LIKE it and comment from your Fan Page so they have an easy way to track back and reciprocate on your Fan Page.

Anita, The perpetual challenge for all of us, wait for perfect or go with "good enough" and continue to improve over time?

Alexa: I look forward to reading a future post where you tell us you just got new biz from your Facebook presence.

Always happy to provide them, Emilia. ;-)

You are quite welcome, Judi.

Evelyn: I learn something new each week as I write the Facebook Fridays post.

Norma: I hope you find a few nuggets you can use. 

BLiz: Consumers just want information...a few will "grade" us on their perfection scale but the majority just want to see the data. Good enough with continual tweaks works like a charm.

Hi Anita... Great post! I agree with a) in that many feel I'm not ready for prime time... I usually respond, if it's up and flying then there's no better incentive to develop it than being live. Everything is changing at a rapid pace online. If we wait until it's perfect to showcase, we'll never do it. Nice picks to spotlight, liked!

Anita your recipe for Secret Sauce is very effective!!   I've been away from AR for a while only because I'm swamped with staging projects ... now I'm back to doing my weekly FB likes from your posts (and I plan to catch up on past weeks that I've missed, too).  My number of FB likes continues to grow steadily when I follow your advice.  Thanks for continuing to share your knowledge with us!

Thank you for stopping by Lorin. Make it a wonderful weekend!

It is a method that many are successfully using...good to see you are back, Maureen.

Take your time, Heidi. I bet all those you reciprocate LIKES with are fine with waiting a day or two.
