My Top Facebook Tips for Bloggers and Businesses

June 29, 2020 | Uncategorized

Ah, Facebook. Time to chat about this social media platform and my top Facebook tips. If you have a page for your blog, business, store, etc, unfortunately, it has gotten very much pay to play. So if you are trying to sell a product or service, you may need to look into Facebook ads.

However, never fear, there are still some organic ways to grow your following, which we are going to discuss here. Everything is moving towards video, so it reigns supreme as far as getting visibility and gaining traction on Facebook. There are a couple of ways to do video:

First, you can post a video you have previously filmed/created, by uploading it from your computer. Or, you can do a Facebook Live session, which will then be saved and stored on your page.

When I start talking about Facebook live, some people start to freak out and get nervous. That’s OK! I still get nervous when posting things live, but with practice and repetition, I have gotten better. First, try filming yourself talking to the camera and practice what you want to say over and over before hitting that ā€œgo liveā€ button. This will help calm you down and make you feel practiced.

Also, make sure when you film a video, live or not, that you have good lighting and background, minimal background noise like cars, music, or pets, and try to position the computer or camera so you aren’t looking down at it. It’s NOT a flattering angle. I bought a phone extension that holds my iPhone and docks into my tripod for when I’m shooting with my iPhone.Ā 

Also, make sure you interact with your audience if shooting live. If people leave a comment or ask a question be sure to answer!

You can also put links to blog posts or other websites in the comments on your Facebook live. It’s a great way to drive traffic.

A good way to get new followers is to target people who are already liking your stuff. Did you know that you can invite people to like your page directly from a post? Simply click the post and click where it shows the number of people that have liked it, and a list will pop up that shows all the likes, and next to it it will either have a button that says ā€œinviteā€ or it will be greyed out saying ā€œinvitedā€ or Likedā€ if that person already likes your page or if you have invited them already but they haven’t responded to the request.

Another great idea is to tag other pages in your posts so they will be notified that you tagged them. This is a good way to build relationships with other people in your area of expertise.

Something else I would recommend doing is joining some social media Facebook groups. You will find everything from groups that help promote and share each other’s content to groups that give tips and tricks on growing your following. These can be a valuable resource and a great way to make new friends.

In my e-course, we get more in-depth with top Facebook tips, targeting the right followers, and also get into Facebook ads.

šŸ–ļø I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr šŸ–ļø I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🄹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. šŸ’–

And, you can save 10% on your stay by using my code LOOKGLASS in the promo box when you are booking, here or at @thebeachclubresortandspa! šŸ–ļø 

Have you taken a multigenerational vacation? Where did you go?

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. šŸ§€ 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. šŸ›³āœØ

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing ā€œLet it Goā€ with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being ā€œcoolā€. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term ā€œfinding yourselfā€, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. šŸ’›āœØ

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of ā€œhappy birthday’sā€ from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨

We couldn’t think of a more fun place to celebrate that on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.

She started the day with presents, then hours and hours in the sun on the island, followed by cake and singing at dinner, the tween club, and fireworks at sea! (They were for pirate night but we said they were birthday fireworks!) 

Happy birthday to the most fierce, kind, competitive, loyal, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. 🩷 Never change who you are and stop growing up so fast! So. Blessed to have the best title there is, Emma Kate’s mom. šŸ’–
