  At the bottomof every post, you’ll see a button entitled “Boost Post”. They want you to click that button and then click on “PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIKED YOUR PAGE” EASIEST LAZIEST COSTLIEST MOST INEFFECTIV E When you start up a Facebook Business Page, you invite all of their friends to like your page. This is a good indicator of people who like you, not an indicator of who will buy from you If you have ever run a competition, you will have had a lot of people like your page who were only doing so in order to enter the competition Instead of taking the easy route, you need to invest some time to set up Facebook Ads correctly in the first place to ensure that every penny you spend has been invested wisely YOU NEED TO PICK YOUR AUDIENCE!

  FACEBOOK GROUPS Amazing freetool that many people aren’t utilising properly With Facebook groups the percentage of visibility of your posts increases dramatically It’s a great way of filtering your Facebook Fans into the people who LOVE what you do When you first join a group, you have to manually let Facebook know that you don’t want it to send you notifications every time someone posts in the group. The majority of people don’t do this so when you paste in the group not only will you come up in people’s newsfeeds, they’ll also get a notification whenever you post! FACEBOOK INSIGHT

  Example - TheGrainary’s VIP Facebook Group FACEBOOK GROUPS We had over 8,000 people following our business page but I wanted to filter down to the people who actually LOVE what we do, the ones that come to all of our events and stay with us frequently I wanted to create a group where we would share everything we had to say first When we announce an event we post it there first and it sells out Whenever we have a special rate we post it here first so that these people have first option 300 people joined

  WHY VIDEO ISTHE WAY FORWARD IN 2017 Facebook has turned its attention to Video in recent months LIVE VIDEO It gives preference to posts featuring live video feeds. why not ask your guests if would mind doing a live video testimonial? It can be fun, and more importantly they will use their own phones to find the video and to share it with friends and family

  WHY VIDEO ISTHE WAY FORWARD IN 2017 MY ADVICE keep all live videos to under five minutes long 1 Make sure you can be heard (buy an external microphone if needed) 2 Make sure you have a good connection3 Keep the camera steady, waving it around will distort the viewing quality 4 The use of live video for business is very new. Play around with it and try it, it is free at the end of the day! If you only get one viewer or if nobody interacts then you can either try again or move on.
