7 Common Social Media Myths

social-media-myths

One of the reasons I've written this post is the amount of misinformation out there regarding how to be successful on social media. I have seen too often churches, para-churches, non-profits and business fall into this trap. I hope this post helps you and demythologises (wow big word!) some of the most common social media myths around!

How To Start A Social Media Disaster

Social-media-stuffup

I came across a huge social media stuff-up that started a firestorm of very negative feedback on Facebook. I was stunned by what had happened. Backtracking a bit, it was being reported that a young girl tragically died in a farm accident last week and a news crew turned up very soon afterwards (including a helicopter) and the family said they were on the property filming the family while they were still grieving (My thoughts and prayers are with the grieving family).

If that wasn't bad enough, the grief-stricken mum later posted her complaint on Seven Sydney news Facebook page and said this:...

How To Maximize Your Facebook Engagement

The social media world and particularly Facebook seems to be changing faster than Usain Bolt can run a 100 metre race. One minute Instagram is a cool independent mobile App, the next moment Facebook swallows it up. The next moment Facebook goes public and raises a pile of cash for Mark Zuckerberg and Co. Then, Facebook release (today) Facebook Camera.

All it seems to have happened in the space of a few weeks. The change is relentless and seems to be increasing at an every rapid rate. Yet with all of the news and updates that go on, one principle remains unchanged - Social media is still social. Engagement with your audience is the No. 1 reason why you should be on social media in the first place....

How I Got 100% More Engagement On My Facebook Updates

more facebook engagement

I attended a brilliant online free seminar last week hosted by Darren Rowse, Facebook expert Amy Porterfield and Lewis Howes about improving your Facebook marketing. Normally these types of 'free' seminars make hyperbolic claims in their marketing and I run a million miles in the opposite direction, rolling my eyes and tut-tutting all the way back into the depths of my office. But this one didn't. It seemed quite sensible in the claims in their marketing.

To be honest. I trust Darren. After being attending a few of his events and having bought a few of his books I now know that you can be assured that his projects will deliver what they claim to offer.  Unlike many Probloggers, Darren is thankfully free of over-promising and comes across as a really honest guy that knows quite a bit about the online space.

Man-crush over and done with. Back to the topic at hand....

How I Created A Facebook Landing Page For Free (And You Can Too)

How To Create A Facebook Page

I recently moved my blog from Typepad to WordPress and I needed to create a new Facebook page because my old Facebook page was somehow linked in with my Typepad account and I couldn't figure out how to separate it from my old blog. I have people following that first page (and my new one) from all over the world which is so cool. The best part of creating this new page was to create my own custom landing page/welcome screen. I'd like to share with you how I did it....
