3 Facebook is a social networking website that makes it easy for you to connect and share with your family and friends online. Originally designed for college students, Facebook was created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg while he was enrolled at Harvard University. By 2006, anyone over the age of 13 with a valid address could join Facebook. Today, Facebook is the world's largest social network, with more than 1 billion users worldwide.

4 Personal profiles are for non-commercial use and represent individual people. Keep in touch with family, friends, coworkers, childhood friends, past co-workers ect More personal Photos Make sure your account is PRIVATE Only one personal profile and manage multiple Pages. Facebook Pages enable public figures, businesses, organizations and other entities to create an authentic and public presence on Facebook. Visible to everyone on the internet Become a fan and receive updates in your News Feed and interact with them. Only invite your Friends to your page CHF Canada Workshop 4

5 Facebook Groups are the place for small group communication and for people to share their common interests and express their opinion. Groups allow people to come together around a common cause, issue or activity to organize, express objectives, discuss issues, post photos and share related content. Public or Private Posts included in newsfeed Algorithms Status updates friends Paid Ads boosted posts that are targeted at your demographic. Organic posts from Pages if they re Pages you follow and engage with regularly CHF Canada Workshop 5

6 Posts with lots of comments Posts with lots of likes Post types that users seem to prefer more than others (e.g., photo, video, or status update) Images, videos and links that have not previously appeared On January 11th, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook would be changing its news feed algorithm to prioritize content from friends, family and groups.

7 Facebook is like a playground, they are letting you play on their playground but you must obey their rules. If you don t want to obey their rules then you cannot play on their playground. You need to find a new one. Quality Post that sparks conversations over quantity post Keep followers on your page/ on Facebook and not to an outside link Engagement, engagement, engagement Comments, comments and more comments! Live video Increase your ad budget Invest in Facebook Groups Sharing is caring CHF Canada Workshop 7

8 It might be tempting to try and hack the new algorithm by asking your audience to COMMENT on this post if you like ice cream!! or something similar. But don t be that brand. It s spammy and users don t like it. One thing that s not changing about the Facebook news feed is the ability for users to make sure they always see posts from their favorite Pages by choosing See First in their news feed preferences. Choose up to 20 This means businesses shouldn t be shy about asking customers to follow their page on Facebook. They could even remind loyal followers about the See First option.

Fill-in-the-blank posts (e.g. If I had $1 million I would ) Polls: While Facebook offers built-in polls, I find running them manually works best for boosting engagement (e.g. Which of these books is your favorite? ) Behind-the-scenes photos: Take candid shots of yourself, your employees, or snap a shot of your office or workspace. CHF Canada Workshop 20

21 Statistics or data: Share new, relevant industry statistics (these perform great in terms of retweets and shares) Questions: Pose simple, basic questions that your followers can answer quickly.

A day in the life post: Give a recap of a typical day in the life of a graphic designer, author, CEO, etc. Share random tips: Periodically post a random tip or trick your followers would find useful. Hint: using random tip numbers adds interest to your post Profile an employee: Let your followers know they re dealing with real people. CHF Canada Workshop 21

22 Post a truth or false question: Let your fans guess whether it s the truth or a myth. Tell a story: Share a funny or interesting anecdote from your life. Promote your products or services: There s a reason this one is last on the list. There s a time and a place for selfpromotion on social media, but first and foremost, use social media to build relationships, establish trust, and build your reputation as an industry expert.
