People are using Facebook increasingly for business and many are wondering why they are having trouble getting noticed and so commented\/liked and shared.<\/p>\n

Here are a few things to focus on to make sure your page improves.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How many posts do you actually talk about yourself?\u00a0<\/strong>Doing this occasionally is good – people get to see the personality of your business – but talking more than 1 in 5 posts about yourself can become wearying for your audience.<\/li>\n
  2. Remember that this is a social network so be social<\/strong>, not one-way. Encourage communication and make sure you comment on peoples comments or at least like them. Remember to like their posts too.<\/li>\n
  3. Create engaging posts<\/strong> – PostPlanner has some good starters for free on their site and if you look around you can be creative in how to get people talking – polls, questions, controversy, news stories, sharing fun videos .. once you ‘get it’ you’ll find all sorts of post ideas and watch to see what works best for your audience.<\/li>\n
  4. Be consistent<\/strong> and by that I mean post regularly and often. Not everyone will see all your posts so posting once a day will miss most people. Using tools like Buffer lets you schedule 3 posts a day on their free version – that’s a good option.<\/li>\n
  5. Make connections<\/strong> to grow your audience. Look for like businesses who have similar audiences to you and like each other; look up your friends friends and invite them to like you; give your audience a reason to share your posts and ask others to like your page. Use your like button everywhere – website, downloads, business cards. Ask people you meet at events to like your page.<\/li>\n
  6. Be active<\/strong>. Facebook isn’t a set and forget medium. You need to be active on there and be seen to have a presence. Sure you can schedule your posts ahead of time but immediacy is king. On one group I am in, it’s like the group owner never sleeps \u00a0as soon as you post or comment, within minutes it seems she pops up and likes or comments back.<\/li>\n
  7. A tip from Koby Conrad from The Hippie Bloggers is to tag yourself<\/strong> (and other key people) in your posts to increase the viral nature. Before I heard Koby’s tip I had started just liking my business page from my personal page and noticed a much higher organic reach in my stats! I’m going to see if tagging has a similar effect.\"Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
