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’ve seen repeatedly though, are people who keep attending 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 who come back only with a different business or business idea each time.
I do believe in multiple streams of income, but we’re talking about completely closing down a business and then starting something completely different. Keep the main business, your main business – and your “side hustles” on the side.
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.
Maybe you’ve seen it, the Facebook Personal account has a new design that is being rolled out to everyone!
Keep reading to see what’s changed and what has stayed the same, how to switch to Facebook’s new design, and finally, how to switch back to Facebook Classic if you don’t like the redesign.
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.
One of the most overlooked features of the Facebook Business Page is the ability to schedule posts.
Facebook’s scheduling feature will save you time, by allowing you to create back-to-back posts and schedule them to go out on specific dates and times in the future.
You can only schedule posts on Facebook to the Facebook Business Pages. Facebook Personal Profiles do not have the ability to schedule posts.
In 2011, I held my very first social media class. The name of the class was “Get LinkedIn!”
Want to hear something funny? I wasn’t even on LinkedIn and was pretty much opposed to any kind of social media.
The idea to have a social media class came about because people had been asking me how to use social media — as I had been setting up social media accounts for others since 2009. Of course, once I had the idea, I had to set up a LinkedIn account though it went against every fiber of my being. Ugh!
Some features on Instagram were not working yesterday, so I created a quick video to show you how to download your Instagram data and content. This will protect you from losing it should Instagram decide to close for good.
I am working to write a complete post with step-by-step directions, but for now please allow the video below to guide you through the process.
A new client asked me to set up her company’s Facebook Business Page. I asked her to make me an Admin on the page, so I can do what I need to do. Since the alternative to making someone Admin on your business page is to give them the login information to your Personal Facebook Profile including your password, I wrote this post to show my client how to give me access to her Facebook Page.
Do I recommend that you make your social media manager or the social media agency you hire an Admin over your Facebook Page?
