Is someone pretending to be you on Facebook?

I’m sure you’ve received a Facebook friend request from someone you were already friends with at some point. You probably wondered why they were sending you a second friend request since you were already Facebook friends.

Sometimes a friend might create another Facebook account and send out new friend requests, but it is rare — and they really shouldn’t have more than one Facebook account anyway.

Tip: Don’t ever create multiple Facebook Personal accounts. It is against Facebook’s policy. They will shut all but one down and won’t ask you which one is your prefered account.

In a previous post, I showed you how to schedule posts from your Facebook Business Page, but I am aware that some of you like the client whose account I will use in this demonstration have to schedule posts via Facebook’s new Publishing Tool – as the scheduling option is no longer available for her when we create posts on her Facebook Business Page ‘Home’ tab.

Here is a Step-By-Step Guide to scheduling a post using Facebook’s Publishing Tool:

Be sure to read to the end, I have a special offer like none I have ever done before …

Thanks to all of you who signed up for the brainstorming sessions that I offered last week. I had a blast helping you all come up with new ideas and strategies for your businesses — and I’m happy to see that most of you have put those strategies to work right away.

One brainstorming session I did, was with a woman who had to close her store last week. She did not choose to close her shop, but her store and all of the stores around her were told they had to close due to COVID-19.

As a social media trainer and consultant, I have been so blessed to be able to guide some of the most amazing people in starting their businesses — and then marketing their businesses, and I LOVE every bit of it!

Something that I see repeatedly though, are people who keep coming to my classes (some for the last almost ten years). Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate repeat attendees, but the people I am speaking of are those that come back only with a different business or business idea each time.

I don’t knock people for trying. Trust me I know what it’s like to feel stuck or have so many ideas in your head you don’t know which way to turn.

Facebook Ratings and Reviews Have Changed plus How to Turn Your Facebook Business Page Reviews On

Facebook is the biggest social media site with 2.45 billion active monthly users. It is layered with features that many small business owners miss.

One of those features is Facebook Business Page Reviews, which you may or may not have noticed has been replaced with Recommendations.

I only recommend products and services from companies I trust, tools I’ve used, and those that I highly recommend and feel may be of value to you and beneficial to your marketing efforts.

I know many of you may be really concerned about the Coronavirus outbreak. A few people have even changed their in-person training appointments with me to online training because they don’t want to leave their house unless they have to.

The news can be extremely alarming, and because many of you work from home (and often have to go out to meet clients), I have added Zoom Meetings training to my list of online and in-person workshops. This means that you can learn how to use Zoom, so you can meet your clients online.

Zoom is a cloud-based video conferencing platform that can be used for online meetings, webinars, recordings, and live messaging….
