~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~

If you are a FB Group admin in a parenting or professional or personal development group, did you know you can create a mentor program from within the group for a variety of programs/skills (i.e. support, skill development, etc.)? Group members can then sign up to be a mentor or mentee and the group admin will pair them up so they can interact. It is a guided FB program that provides one-on-one interaction. Curious...anyone in a group that is offering this feature? If so, have you signed up?

For the rest of us...Did you know you can track your daily average time on Facebook from your mobile device? Click on the app, go to your settings page, and tap "Your Time on Facebook". It shows you the daily average for Facebook on that particular device. If you are wanting to limit your app time, this is a simple way to do it. Check it out... 

Did You Know...According to Statista, there are now over 2.23 billion active Facebook users worldwide (active=signed into the platform in the past 30 days)! Whether you like the platform or not, it is smart marketing to tap into FB for local leads! ;-) 

Inquiring minds want to know (ok, maybe just me)...have you tried out anything fun or exciting on your FB page this summer? Good results? A dud? Share your experiences so we can learn together. For me, listing ads have really been paying off. It seems the simpler I go with the ad, the better results I have been having in recent months. What's been floating your FB boat? Do share, Rainers.

PLEASE stop by the 5 Facebook Business Pages below, LIKE their page, and leave a comment. It is always nice to reciprocate, so if you are visited, please take a moment and return the favor.

As always, enjoy Rainers!

Facebook Articles

I got asked recently why I share a list of articles each week on this post. Everyone has a different view of what is important to their biz so by sharing a wide variety of topical content, there are bound to be articles that resonate with readers who will take the time to check out and implement the advice. While a particular topic may not be your cup of tea, you can bet it is for someone (or at least I hope it is). Now you know. ;-)

BTW...check out more great content below to get your FB marketing spinning in the right direction or to help take it to a new level. Go for it, Rainers.

I will say the only Facebook marketing tool one of my clients used turned out to not be successful.  It was a Facebook ad for one of their rental properties.  It reached "thousands" of people, but they all ignored it, since it did not apply to their life situation at all.  These were people that were living in the neighborhood where this property was located as well.

Thank you for sharing the FB ideas and ways to possibly make it work. Reaching out to folks this way can work but for the most part does not. It may have at first but over time seems to have lost the power it once had. The political posts seem to have drawn the cost upwards and the pay per click items go. 

So much to think about on this topic.

Anita, I take baby steps with Facebook.  I have boosted a post recently and noticed the new format setup for businesses.  I have a video now at the top but it goes beyond the format, getting cut off but of course trying to figure out WHY is just too much work.  ha.

Thanks for your posts!

Hi Anita, thanks for sharing your Facebook post today. As usual I learned something new. I noticed Facebook is rolling out a new format and they are going to switch it over automatically.  Did you already switch yours and how do you like the new version if you did?

Pleased to hear that Amanda. Thank you.

Happy to help, Hannah.

Andy: Just doing my part to help spread the FB news.

Kevin: Sounds like the wrong type of ad or wrong approach. If it reached everyone in the affected neighborhood, I would say it found the right audience.

I have to slice off a piece of time, dedicated to this stuff, each week to ensure I have the time. Give that a try, Jeff.

Laura: Not my experience at all. It still works great for me and the cost has never gone up...we decide what we want to pay per ad.

Thanks Roy. The feature means a lot more Rainers will see the information and hopefully follow through with something they read.

Thank you Steven. I do sometimes wonder how many actually read all the way through. ;-)

I saw that. Thanks so much Rebecca. 

John: Sometimes hiring a VA is the right approach if something is beyond our means.

Matthew: I got the notification too but decided to let it switch automatically at the deadline. I prefer to let them work out the bugs over the next 2 weeks.
