Set Up Your Business, Shared On Facebook With Family and Crickets...

-

Crickets or tumbleweed.


We have all done it and some of us a few times and still haven't learnt - well, the thing is no one has told you not to.

So here goes! 

Don't spam your Friends and Family with your new business idea.

Well, that was easy.

Bye!


Okay seriously, there is a very good reason. You are making them uncomfortable and Pi$$ing them off. 

Sorry, but it's true and you know it, I am sure someone has done it to you.

Looking at this logically you have what 500 friends and family on Facebook surely one wants it? - yes of course they do! 

How can you make sure you are getting just those who are interested?


Here are my 3 easy steps for sorting your Facebook Friends' spamming dilemma.

1. Go into Facebook and on the sidebar click Friends
2. Create Custom Lists.
3. Move those 500 people into those lists - 





i.e - 

Family (definitely not interested) 
Family (Maybe)
Friends (definitely not interested)
Friends (Maybe)
Workplace Colleagues (definitely not interested)
Workplace Colleagues (interested)
Workplace 2 Colleagues (definitely not interested)
Workplace 2 Colleagues (interested)
and finally
My Interested Business Group

This is not a quick thing to do, BUT once done you can move people around these groups as you see fit.

Once complete start dropping your lead magnets & open questions to certain groups and see who comments.
Some will start to take the bait, you can move those to your Interested Group.

Now, this is a slow burner and quite honestly for your list can be painful especially if you already know your ideal avatar isn't anyone on your 500 list at all...

But, bear with me...

You can then use this set-up to gain more friends.

Joining and commenting in groups as yourself.

As above move them to your interested group and then eventually over to your business page (by giving them lead magnets and getting their email addresses!)

Page or Group? What's The Difference?

  This is a question I get asked time and time again. What's the difference between a Facebook Page and a Facebook Group? I have 4 things to consider, these will help you decide 1- How much time do you have? 2 - Your aim/plan? 3 - Free or paid? 4 - Open or closed? What do these mean, well read on... There are a few differences but the first thing to consider when setting either up is the time you have to dedicate to it. Let's look at it... You have 1 hour a week to be 'social' on Facebook - adding posts, replying to people building trust, potentially selling etc. 1 hour isn't a lot of time unless used wisely - (see my other blog on posting to social channels with a 6-month plan) The second thing is...what is my aim? Yep, without a plan on what you wish to do, it's easy to do anything and move forward but really it's about knowing where you are going while moving forward that makes the difference... you can get lost even if you go straight remember!

Duplicate Your Engagement Today!

 I say duplicate, although this would be minimum, done properly you could triple your engagement. Are you ready for the best piece of advice I can offer for FREE! Don't post the same content to the same social sites on the same day! Woah, like with all my blogs it's simple advice - but there is always a reason. Let's start with the basics. You have a Facebook Business Page - yes You have an Instagram account - yes You post to Facebook and cross-post immediately to Instagram - this is by far the easiest and quickest way to post to 2 platforms - true.. yes BUT... I follow your Facebook Page and your Instagram Page. You post the same thing to both. I get a notification about Facebook and I go look at it, read through it, like it and even comment... I then get another notification about Instagram, I look and see the same thing... I don't comment or like it because I have already done it. The next day I get the same, I go to Facebook, comment and like, go to Instagram and ag

Are you a fan of Newsletters? Oh yes, love them or hate them they provide businesses with 50% of their sales and they are a way of having that private audience with your ideal customer! What do I mean? How many of you read emails in bed or in the bathroom? Well if I knocked on your door and asked if I could come and share something about my business with you while you were sitting on the toilet, having a bath or laying in bed you would think I was crazy! But you will read my emails in these really private places - and this is just as good! So firstly if you are not sending regular emails, please start, even if you only have 5 people on your list and 2 of those are family! It's the habit you need to start - today... now don't panic! When it comes to building a list you don't mind creating the lead magnet and the freebie but then following up and creating that sale email can seem icky! I get you, I personally hate those emails where I opt-in to get a PDF or a free video and t
