I love a good challenge, especially work-related challenges that often force you to step out of your comfort zone and expand your knowledge on a certain topic. When asked to take on something new, some of us work better under pressure (aka procrastinators), while others are organized and like to get things done as soon […]

I’ve been a huge advocate for Facebook advertising. These are inexpensive online marketing tools for small business owners and the platform continues to create more sophisticated features. My favorite is not new, but it is high quality – the custom audiences.  Custom audiences have a few ways to target users, but, for those trying it […]

In a recent blog on Social Media Today, the author argues that not all organizations should embrace social media particularly those industries that are not “social-friendly.” He offered an example of a mental health care provider who likely won’t have their content shared because it’s personal in nature.

A client recently asked me about video sharing on Facebook as a result of an inquiry she received from her videographer.

There’s been talk of a ‘dislike’ or ‘empathize’ button on Facebook.  I was not happy with the idea of a ‘dislike button,’ but I do think ‘empathize’ could be useful. As people scroll through the feed, some will ‘like’ a status but very few comment. It’s said that between 70-90 percent of social media users […]

There are more changes coming to Facebook (surprise) and several are worthy of note, depending on your industry.  However, today, I want to share three Facebook features that any admin can and should be using! Facebook Call-To-Action Button. Earlier this year, Facebook rolled out the ‘call-to-action’ button, located on the cover photo of a fan […]
