If you have ever blogged a continuous series you know how rewarding it can be, especially when those that follow the series provide feedback and tips, ask questions, participate in general, and/or show interest. Over the past month I have been tracking the questions I have received via email, calls, and messaging and here are the top 3 things Facebook Fridays fans have asked me about over that time-period.

What Are Facebook Dark Posts?

Kyle Reyes answers it far better than I can here: Facebook Dark Posts

How do I Create A Facebook Fan Page? 

Lots of quality resources for this but I often provide this link: Creating a Fan Page

Will Facebook Ads Bring Me New Business?

That depends on what the ad is about, whether you targeted a specific audience, your engagement, and a host of other variables...most of which you control. I refer these types of questions to the Facebook Fridays Group where there is information about FB ads posted nearly every week (this one included).

Those are all excellent questions and I hope the individuals who asked them got the answers they needed. Not sure what category to put these next 2 half-baked questions I received in...interesting for sure!

What Day Do You Post Your Weekly Facebook Fridays Articles?

Huh? Um, Fridays.

How Can I Get Another Person's Facebook Password?

Ask them. If they say no and you keep looking for ways to get it, you may be stalking, creepy, or both! 

As always, if you have not yet been featured on Facebook Fridays, I would love to show off your Facebook Fan Page (sorry, no personal pages) on a future post. All you need to do is share the URL in a comment below. It really is that easy!

PLEASE stop by these Facebook Fan Pages, LIKE their page, and leave a comment. It is always nice to reciprocate, so if you are visited, please take a minute and return LIKE those that stopped by your Facebook Fan Page. Helping each other helps us all on social media...enjoy Rainers!

Happy Facebook Fridays, Rainers!

Facebook is the talk of the social media town right now after they made changes yesterday to the news feeds (see below). While I like the change I wouldn't call it earth shattering. But hey, when the social media big dawg barks, SM users perk up. There are plenty of other great tips, some advice, and even some general Facebook information you may find useful. As always Rainers, I hope you find a bunch of things you can implement, try out, or learn from the facebook articles below. 

As always, enjoy Rainers! ;-)  

Happy Facebook Fridays!

Whatever it was, it was half-baked, Conrad. ;-)

Why thank you, Joe. Kyle is definitely a guru!

My pleasure Faith. Come back as often as you like.

Gabe: There are some really good tips this week.

Debbie: They make you scratch your head and wonder.

Sheila: They certainly do that.

Ginny: So many in our profession are either mis-informed or completely clueless about SM. To the victors go the spoils!

Welcome back Jerry. It is good to see your smiling face on Facebook Fridays again.

Dorie Dillard  I am in negotiations with Bob Stewart on a new Mercedes. LOL

You betcha Roy. Every Friday, Lord willing, I will be here.

Beth: It can be an excellent source of new prospects and eventual clients.

John: I can always count on you to participate...you are a rockstar!

Amanda: Both Kyle's and Chris' are very enlightening.

Debbie: They have been provided the answers but I hope others who have the same questions get the answers they need. I hear them a lot (the top 3). ;-)

Bill: Your support is always appreciated.

Raymond: I must be slipping! I will have to dig deeper next week. Thanks for visiting all 5 Rainer pages...Awesome you are (that's the only Yoda I know)!

Jennifer: There are some excellent tips to help with a variety of FB topics. Join the Facebook Fridays Group where you will see literally hundreds of other tips.

Christina Welch If you are referring to social media trends here are a few sites I frequent:

  • http://www.webpronews.com/category/social-media (good SM trends)
  • http://www.quicksprout.com/blog/ (Neil Patel is awesome!)
  • http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/ (lots of how-to's & plenty of quality)

Kathy: It seems to have its tentacles everywhere these days.

Anna: It is mind boggling to me.

Tom: Your FB page will thank you for putting the homework into action. ;-)

Paula: No way it could be for good purposes.

Thanks Kim. I know they will appreciate your visit.

I am so glad you enjoy them, Christina.

Absolutely my pleasure, Jessica.

Troy: I appreciate the comps.

Rebecca: I can always rely on you...thank you so much.

Hi Anita!  Another great post - and great answers to the FB questions!  I used to have a friend who kept posting political posts on my page - I didn't want them there and it took him several posts before being deleted before he understood my plea, that my FB focus is HAPPY, not half-baked!  ;-)

Anita one of my Loan Originators is going to start doing Facebook ads next week.  I am anxious to see how it works for someone in my end of the industry.

Sally: I wrote a post earlier this week that gave a glimpse of several sites where you could hire someone to do just about any task you wanted...perhaps a FB Manager is on one of those sites waiting to be contacted. ;-)

Another great option is to hire a virtual assistant (there are several on AR) to do this very thing.
