I have read about a billion plus post today talking about
Facebook changes….Facebook does this; Facebook does that, Facebook….blah blah
blah.
By the time, all the post went up by USA Today, Fox, and
every other social media expert, Facebook was already planning changes
again.
According to USA
Today they quoted Mark Zuckerberg saying “We want to give the world the
best personalized newspaper that we can”.
Well there you got it folks; you just learned what Facebook is truly
meant to be.
I am not an expert on Facebook, but I am a social media
junkie, I probably check my social networks fifteen times a day. Every day I see dozens of post, some humor
me, some annoy me, and some well I really want to ask WHY THE HECK DID YOU JUST
POST THIS?????
People ask me daily what is my best advice for Facebook. I really cannot give them what the best tips
are for them, but I can tell you what has worked for me.

Be HUMBLE – Have a
piece of Facebook Humble Pie! Seriously,
who wants to see you constantly bragging about your success? Are you that successful? I cannot stand it when I see a business put
their statistics up….really we can see how many people like your page and is
commenting on your status!
Be REAL –
Computers are not reading your status. If
you want to reach, real people then talk to them as if they are real
people! Hello, how are you doing? I am so glad you landed on my page, now what
can I help you with and please do come back….well that is a good way to make
them feel!
Have some HUMOR –
I have seen some boring post…I often wonder if people are sleeping when they
post. I am known for crazy photos, often
my tongue hanging out, or talking about the crazy things my kids do. People find humor in my silliness, they
connect with how I feel, and well they get a FREE LAUGH!
Put OTHERS First –
I cannot believe how many people forget to RESHARE, COMMENT, and LIKE other
people’s post, but do not do it themselves!
Today, a fellow writer Procrastinating
Mommy shared my latest Missouri Traveling Mom post; she had no reason to
share that, except that she is kind!
Shout out to her, I appreciate the extra traffic and will return the
favor!
Be YOURSELF –
Have you ever seen that person in public that you think looks somewhat familiar,
but cannot place them….then you realize they are your Facebook friend, but look
very different. Yes, people are faking
Facebook as if they are a dating website.
To each their own, I guess, but if you are using Facebook for social
media gain, then you need to put yourself out there.
KNOW your TARGET
AUDIENCE – This is the biggest fail of social media users, they do not know
their target audience. The number of
likes or friends really means nothing if all those likes and friends are not
your target audience. I write about
travel, family, and how crazy my kids are, therefore, I would not target young
college kids or better yet college boys (although several like my page and I
have no clue why). Know who you want to
reach and engage those that are similar you to you, and remember to talk on the
same level as that target audience.
Well here is my Facebook lesson for now Folks!
Have an Adventurous Day!
