Facebook Fridays - More Q&A and a Tip just for YOU

The last Facebook Fridays Q&A session was well received so I thought I would try it again since I do get a bunch of emails and messages asking me about Facebook. I am by NO means an expert on this stuff, nor do I want to be...my goal is to make social media work for me in the quickest and most efficient way I can. There are certainly better and easier ways to perform FB magic and I count on many of you to share your ideas, experiences, and tips, to help us all grow!

When you created Facebook Fridays did you think it would grow this big?

Here is a fact many of you may not know...I did not start Facebook Fridays. The concept was created by Emily Read and the group was established by Gary Coles in 2011. I and others (most notably, Jerry Newman) took over the week-to-week posts in 2012 and I took over group management in 2013. Now you know the rest of the story. HA.

Why do some of my blog posts get deleted from the Group?

Anything that is not Facebook related will get zapped. I encourage everyone to post to the group, BUT I am a rule follower, and one of the very few rules posted on the group page says "Content which does not relate to Facebook will be removed". If one of your posts has been deleted I hope your tail feathers are not too ruffled. Post FB related content and it will certainly be there for all to see. I promise!

If I create a Facebook blog can I post it on other days of the week?

To quote Chuck Berry, "It's a free country, live how you want to live!". By all means, if you have Facebook content you want others to see, post it ANY day of the week. I primarily only post on Fridays but that should not stop you from putting your posts out any day or time. They can be FB tips, advice, questions, etc...they sky is the limit. 

As is the norm, I try to provide at least one tip each week, and this weeks tip is sure to delight all of you who are looking for more engagement on your FB Fan Page (count me in). Here are 10 Ways to get more LIKES on your Facebook Biz Page!   

Happy Facebook Fridays!

Thanks for the FB tips. I don't use Facebook for business much. It's more for staying in touch with high school classmates, for example. Thanks again!

Anita, every time I read your weekly post, my desire to build a good Facebook pages grows stronger - I will have to dig down the posts on the best way to do that - and should be least expensive to maintain. I just came back from Keller Williams Family Reunion - and almost signed up with third party service provider to manage my Facebook business pages - however, I realized, like blogging, if it is not me on my pages, I don't think it would help me in any way!

Praful: An hour to get it setup and running and about 5 minutes per day (or every couple of days) is ALL it takes.

Brian: FB is an excellent resource. Best is subjective as there are some other good ones too...just depends on what your goal is and how much time you want to spend on it.

Thank you for coming back Lottie. I hope you find many tips you can implement.

My pleasure Beth. FB is a great way to find new clients. I have you on the list for 3-4 weeks from now.

John: You are a great example of someone who "gets it" and is using FB to find clients and close homes. Kudos to you!
