Use Facebook to Spread the Word About a Nonprofit

How often do you use book to Facebook to spread the word about a nonprofit? Many of us are involved with nonprofits, whether as employees, volunteers, or donors.   One Example: Warren Village Recently I was helping a new client, a job seeker, to better understand Facebook, especially its business pages. I asked her where she would like to work. She said, Warren Village, a Denver nonprofit. According to their mission statement on their Facebook Business page, “Warren Village exists so that low-income, single-parent families can achieve sustainable personal and economic self-sufficiency.” Here’s a link to their page: https://www.facebook.com/WarrenVillage/ As it [...]

I’ll discuss some here and I’ll describe more of them in next week’s post.   5 Options to Make Your Facebook Business Posts Stand Out Just as [...]

Invite Your Facebook Friends to Like Your Facebook Business Page

Inviting your Facebook Friends to like your Facebook business page might seem obvious. Yet, many people don’t do it. Or perhaps they don’t know how.

There could be people, like me, who were wondering how to use the Invite Your Friends option. Now, to find that option, you need to go the Community Section, found on the right-hand side of your business page. Please note that this invitation will show up in your friends’ notifications.

Be Sure to Control Your Facebook Business Page

Do you have a Facebook business page to help market your business? If so, did you create it yourself? If not, are you one of its administrators? If someone created it for you, that person automatically became the administrator, usually called the admin. There can be more than one, so make sure they made you an admin rather than just an editor. You need to be able to monitor the activity of any others who work on the page. This is true even if you have a trusted employee or social media professional doing this for you. That’s why you [...]
