RECIPROCATION - SIMPLY PUT, IT’S ABOUT GIVE AND TAKE.
Don’t be too self-promotional
Use the 80/20 rule. Connect with others in your industry and share what they have to offer
When you’re genuinely interested in sharing and engaging with your community, it shows. Others will be more likely to gravitate to your
brand
RESPECT - TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED
With the immediacy and transparency of the social web, we are an extension of our brand. People will make judgement calls based on
the limited information they see
BE POLITE, SHOW APPRECIATION AND VALUE OTHERS. AGAIN, ADD VALUE!
You don’t have to agree with everyone but you don’t want to lash out either.
Build relationships across your social networks before you actually need them.
RELIABILITY
Set expectations early on. (Timing, behavior, rules, etc.)
If you make a promise keep it. (Appointments, customer service, your word)

Attention Economy over Facebook Marketing
KISS PRINCIPLE
“Keep It Simple and Short”
“Keep It Simple and Straightforward”
Use fewer words to get your message across. For example, ‘in close
proximity to’ becomes near, ‘are in agreement with’ becomes agree,
‘despite the fact that’ becomes although.
Use simple English! No one is going to look up dictionary to get what
you mean.
Address your audience directly. Use focus capturing phrases like “do
you know? “, “Surprised aren’t you? But don’t overdo!

Have a strategy in place – Creating a Facebook page and posting to it, is not the same as
having a strategy.
Be Engaging – As questions, fill in the blanks, interact, use photos that ask questions
Be Personal & Human – Speak in the first person, show respect, show empathy, kill with
kindness
Use Hashtags Strategically – Don’t stuff, not every post, don’t use senseless hashtags, don’t
hijack
Monitor Insights – Think analytics. What’s working and what isn’t?
Use Photos – 53% more clicks, 104% more comments, 84% more click-throughs
Give People A Reason to Be There – Contests, coupons, etc.
Leverage Facebook – Use it to build your email list.
Leverage Facebook Ads – Organic is important but so is investing in your business
