Facebook Friday- Single Column Timeline Design

With Facebook, keeping on top of things is the key- and this means almost daily monitoring of any changes that they are likely to make. 

I can only speak for myself, but when the Timeline was introduced, my first and perhaps, strongest feeling about it was of deep disappointment. The original forum-like communication style with your page's fans was completely undermined and the fan's posts wiped off. (Or so it seemed! You now can manually highlight them so that they will appear on the Timeline)

Keep Calm and Get Blogging

Social Media seems to be the first choice for most small business owners. However, here is why a business blog can be much more effective as a method to reach and engage your targeted audience.

Yes, blogging is time consuming just like any social media activity and often small business owners face a dilemma: We are already on Facebook (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc) - why spend valuable time on blogging too? 

Here are 10 useful considertions:

1. Unlike the constantly evolving social media platforms, the blog is very stable. Your subscribers will keep receiving your recent posts as long as they are subscribed, and unlike some social media sites there are no algorithms or conditions that decide who can and who cannot see them.

2. The blog posts are saved and are accessible easily though tags or blog archives to everyone interested. Social Media posts tend to have short term impact and they tend to get lost and lack visibility within a few months or years 

3. A blog is available to every single visitor of your website, but social media posts become obscure very quickly within the newsfeed, and only those who choose to look for them will actually see them.

You Can’t Afford to Ignore Facebook

As the internet and Social Media evolve one thing is clear - Facebook is king. Fast approaching 1,000,000,000 members (yes that’s ONE BILLION), Facebook is the site where everyone is spending time online!

“Every successful business depends on people - Facebook is where they are spending their time online. Either you will use Facebook and succeed or you will not embrace Facebook and fail.“
- Sean Malarkey
