Grateful for My Community of Social Media Learners

I’m feeling very grateful for my community of social media learners. The community I’m referring to consists of the members of my Simplify Your Social Media Meetup Group.   Background on My Meetup Group I created this Meetup group to offer people an opportunity to learn about social media in a fun, interactive setting. In fact, this month I’m celebrating the third anniversary of this monthly group! The folks who come to our meetings are a wide range of business people. Some are pretty proficient with their social media. However, most of them struggle from time to time with how [...]

Older Adults – You Can Stay Safe on Facebook While Enjoying Yourself

To my fellow older adults – you can stay safe on Facebook while enjoying yourself! As we approach the holiday season, we are likely to be spending even more time than usual on Facebook. Therefore, this is a good time to focus on the benefits and challenges of being on this social media site. There so many benefits for seniors to be had by being active on Facebook (and other types of social media). For example, Alissa Bauer’s article in the August 3, 2020 issue of Senior Living Blog includes such benefits as: Connecting with family members who live far [...]

Creating Articles That Tie to Your Social Media Presentations

By creating articles that tie to your social media presentations, you can promote upcoming talks on social media. Such articles can also be a great way to introduce yourself to niched groups of business people.   Examples of Recent Articles I Wrote In the past few weeks, I’ve had two articles published. “Safe fun for older adults on Facebook,” was published in several newspapers serving readers in small communities near Denver. The other article, “Three Best Practices for Using LinkedIn,” appeared in the Fourth Quarter Issue of The MHEDA Journal. Readers of this journal are members of the Material Handling [...]

Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of My Business

This month I’m celebrating the 10th anniversary of my business, Boomers’ Social Media Tutor. Back in 2010 as I was winding up a 17-year career in sales, I decided to start a new career. Although I didn’t go full-time into my business until March 2013, I created my LLC in October 2010. I remember the challenge of creating the name like it was yesterday. Even though Boomers’ Social Media Tutor is a mouthful, it truly represents what I offer and who I serve.   Taglines and Slogans In reflecting over this decade of being in business, so many thoughts come [...]

New Facebook Layout Affects All Facebook Users

Did you know that the new Facebook layout affects all Facebook users as of September 30? Yes, we are getting this new layout, whether we want it or not. It’s the most comprehensive change I’ve seen on Facebook since at least 2013 when I started my business.   Background on the Change to the New Facebook Layout I learned a lot from Maggie Tilman’s July 1, 2020 article, “The New Facebook Update: How to Get It and Turn on Dark Mode.” According to Tilman, this update is one of only four major changes that Facebook has ever made to its [...]

Value of Reducing the Time Spent on Social Media

During a recent trip with my husband, I definitely appreciated the value of reducing the time spent on social media. Instead of constantly interacting with Facebook and LinkedIn, I focused on enjoying the scenery around me. Plus, it was so refreshing to have so much uninterrupted time to reconnect with my husband. In the evenings, we would read or just go to sleep early. It was one of the most relaxing trips I’ve taken in a long time. Have you found ways to step away from social media, or at least reduce your time on it? If you haven’t, I [...]

Many Benefits of Participating in Facebook Groups

There are many benefits of participating in Facebook Groups. Over time, Facebook has changed the rules on how many people see the posts on Facebook business pages. Therefore, more business people are becoming more active in Facebook groups to reach a wider audience. Some groups are associated with an organization that meets in real life. (Or for now, that group may be meeting virtually.) Some business people may offer exclusive Facebook groups for their clients. Still other groups might be for people in a shared industry. In my case, I've been part of all these kinds of groups and see [...]
