Hello everyone. I went on a Facebook Masterclass last week and as soon as I got home I deleted my personal profile and my business account and started again! I now have a page that’s a few days old and barely finds an audience, but I’m working on it again. The page is Lizzie Chantree Author if any of you want to pop by. My other page had over a thousand likes and follows, but it’s much easier just having one business page linked to one profile page.
You can only have one profile on Facebook, so you can’t have one for your close friends and one for your business that has friends on it. You can however have several business pages linked to one profile. With your business profile, although it’s great to get ‘likes’ and ‘follows’, the best way to widen your audience is from comments. Facebook like interaction and are focussing on meaningful posts and mental health. This means that ads or links are not as valued as chat and will not reach as many people’s FB pages.
Another thing I didn’t realise was that you can still be followed on Fb if you don’t approve a friend request. Check where it says INTRO. Under that it will say how many people who are following your profile anyway.
I’ll be posting more tips in my FB book group Lizzie’s Book Group and here on my blog in the coming weeks.
I finally completed my latest manuscript and am on my second set of my own edits before it wings its way to my editor. It’s such an exciting feeling to hold a finished book in my hands. I can’t wait to start on my next one too! Have an amazing week everyone.
Be the first to know when my next book is available! Follow me on social media for updates.
Thanks for the info, Lizzie. I “Liked” your new page. So far, I haven’t seen any problems with my pages, but will be on the lookout!!
Goid information Lizzie. I have a personal and business page on Facebook. I havent noticed any problems but will look into it.
I’d hate to have to start over on either.
Thanks, Lizzie! Delighted to be on board. Have a fabulous week! 🙂
Thanks Natalie. You too!
Great info! Where did you find the Masterclass?
Hi Linda. It was run by Natwest bank. It might be worth contacting your local branch/bank and asking them if they run free business seminars.
Wow! Okay. That was the last thing I expected. Haha! I’ll check it out. Thanks! 🙂
