ff: Facebook Fridays - Put On Your Tapping Shoes & Tap Into This Resource
- 08/21/14 07:40 PM
Happy Facebook Fridays, Rainers!
Wow, talk about getting your panties bunched up this week! I have read several posts on various platforms this week (AR included) that have bashed using FB as part of our online marketing model. Hey, to each their own! Every competitor not using it is one less we have to be concerned with on this medium. If FB is good enough for 1.3 billion users worldwide, you can bet this girl is going to tap into that resource to generate new leads and I encourage you to do the same! ;-)
I said I would mention … (74 comments)

ff: Facebook Fridays – Time to get Busy!!!
- 08/08/14 12:18 AM
Happy Facebook Fridays, Rainers!
This week I fretted a little because I am not at home, do not have all my "tools", have intermittent Internet access, and seriously thought this would be the first week in 2+ years that I would not get a Facebook Fridays post out. Fortunately, it all worked out in the end. YAY!
Sure, missing a week would not have been the end of the free world but I am a big proponent of keeping a blogging rhythm and firmly believe that staying focused on blogging, social media, etc. is an important way to ensure we are … (39 comments)

Happy Facebook Fridays, Rainers!
With another week quickly winding down, have you taken the opportunity to show your Facebook Fan Page a little TLC? How about your followers...did they get some of your attention this week? Surely you stopped in and "hung out" with others in a few of the local Facebook Groups you are a member of, right? If not, there is still time to make all of that happen.
If you have followed the ActiveRain Facebook Fridays Group this week you noticed Roy Kelley dropped a few hints about the effectiveness of FB Groups, and how using one of your hobbies … (42 comments)

ff: Facebook Fridays - Playing Favorites...Guilty as Charged!
- 07/24/14 07:47 PM
Happy Facebook Fridays, Rainers!
Guilty as charged fellow Rainers! I received an interesting email this week that said I was playing favorites in the ActiveRain Facebook Fridays Group and it was not fair. That person was absolutely correct! I have, do, and will continue to play favorites. Here is how and why...
IF you post Facebook related content in the group, regardless of the day posted, your content will stay active forever and ever (or infinity +1). However, if you break the group rule of posting non-FB content you can bet I will zap it before the next Facebook Fridays … (44 comments)

ff: Facebook Fridays - Focusing on the WHY
- 07/17/14 07:40 PM
Happy Facebook Fridays, Rainers!
With the various social media sites that we "should" be using, and all the talk about SEO and how to and not to post and interact, the intent of our online efforts can get blurry. That is why it is sometimes good to take a quick pause, re-inventory our efforts, and focus on the WHY.
You know...Why use Facebook in our social media marketing? Why create a FB Fan Page? Why should we engage with others? Why is my presence not bringing new clients and business? WHY! Once we figure out the why's that are … (51 comments)

If you are like me, today will be filled with lots of family fun, a BBQ, and definitely some time relaxing by the water. But, are you going to carve out a few minutes to hit your main social media sites and share content, engage with users, and perhaps even do a little site/page maintenance?

Happy Facebook Fridays, Rainers!
This is my favorite post I write each week because I get to visit so many Rainer Facebook Fan Pages and see what ya'll are doing to generate biz from social media. Also, it really puts a smile on my face when I go back to a page weeks or months later and see so many fellow Rainers have stopped by and showed their support to those on my weekly lists. Ya'll rock!
The only constant in social media is change! Did you hear about Google starting to remove all authorship photos from its search … (45 comments)

ff: Facebook Fridays - Another One Bites The Dust!
- 06/05/14 07:56 PM
I went to a recent local real estate seminar where I heard the following comments from some in the crowd when the instructor starting talking about how Facebook can be an effective online marketing tool, "I quit using Facebook in 2012 because it never generated any business for me", "I want to guard my privacy and will not consider Facebook in my marketing", and "It is a waste of time...no one uses Facebook anymore". With each passing comment all I could think of was the song "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen!
WE have to generate biz from FB … (67 comments)

- 05/29/14 07:59 PM
Friday is one of my favorite days of the week for a variety of reasons. Two of those are that I get the opportunity to share a few Facebook tips and tricks from around the Web with all of ya'll AND I get to highlight 5 fellow Rainer FB Fan Pages for you to go LIKE, leave a comment on (perhaps even ask for a reciprocal LIKE), check out if they are doing something cool or unique that you can incorporate into your own FB Biz Page efforts, and perhaps even an opportunity to network and become referral partners. The sky … (43 comments)

Are you ready for another week of new Rainers to visit on FB? How about some reciprocal liking as a result of engaging with others? Perhaps you are excited about checking out this weeks links and improving your Fan Page? Maybe you are here for all 3 which would make me downright giddy!
Whatever your reason for visiting on Facebook Fridays, all of the above is freely available, as long as you engage with others. That sounds overly simple but is the absolute truth. A little FB engagement will go a long way...try it for yourself and share your results!

How do you make your FB fan page more marketable? Is your current marketing approach working (and is it measurable)? How do you reach more consumers in a more effective manner? If you are using Facebook for business these are questions you should be seeking answers for.
Fortunately, there are many who spend their time analyzing, tweaking, and searching for ways to make FB work better, quicker, and more efficient to enhance their particular marketing model. Thankfully, many of these power users freely share their wisdom and invaluable information! As you will quickly notice, the posts below are full of marketing ideas to help all … (40 comments)

ff: 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)

Each week the Facebook Fridays train has several stops, and you just never know when the horn will blow and it will be pulling in to visit you, so get your FB page spruced up and ready for some interaction from a bunch of Rainers!
It has been a busy week but I still found time to do a bit of posting on my FB biz page (did you?). I also joined another local FB group to help out in and eventually share my brand with. This is an easy way to connect with more folks in our communities (hint)!

ff: 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)

ff: 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)

ff: Facebook Fridays - Take it to the Bank!
- 03/13/14 08:00 PM
You can take this to the bank...you do NOT need a professionally created Facebook Fan Page to generate business. You really don't! All you need are these 4 elements: content that consumers are seeking, photos/videos that are engaging or informational, a willingness to respond to those who leave comments, and information that is easy to find and understand. That's it, the secret sauce to take your page to new heights and make your business soar.
This weeks tips are aimed at helping you tweak, improve, or overhaul your approach. If your current methods are a big hit keep on rocking, but if … (71 comments)

ff: 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)
