Did you know that Facebook isn’t really intended to be a revenue provider for a company? It’s a social networking platform, and figuring out what should be posted, when, and why is a job all in itself. A FB page is a way to interact and get to know your customers and potential customers, and to give them more information about your company and how it works. Establish a rapport, answer questions, give them something to look at that actually interests them! The standard mix of posts a company or organization should be 70% curation, or sharing information, articles, and posts that relate to your industry, and 30% on your company and what it’s doing and how it can help the reader. That’s a lot different than how many companies run their FB pages, with constant product information.

I’ve been spending some more time on my FB page the past few weeks than I have in awhile, and there are going to be some pretty cool things happening there. I post photographs I have taken or work I’ve done as backup photographer for Al at RoadRunner Photography, websites I’ve completed, and more. Occasionally I’ll run a FB-only special on web design or content writing, so it pays to follow the TRP page! Do you want to know more?
