• Facebook is a bad Content Management System.
@mhames
You want to start a Facebook page?
• Zero fans.
• A bad quality score.
• I wish we could have talked 5 years ago.
• We’re trying to break silos, not enhance them.
• What part of the process are you?
• Getting engagement isn’t easy.
• We have access to a better photographer.
• Better ways to manage content.
@mhames
• So, you’re asked: “Can we start a Facebook page?”
• You’ll now say…
@mhames
I want your flippin’ content
@mhames
@mhames
• We have stories to tell. There are better places to tell
them.
• Thank you.

A facebook page

  • #23 So, we took an accounting of activity on March 19.33% increase in checkins in 2 months. Analytics
  • #28 Think about your website. Simple rule, if you have one website for it, you should have one facebook page for it.
  • #29 Facebook groups. We ask students to join groups. They do.
  • #31 The internet has algorithms. In the keynote this morning, Karen tried to explain how to beat them. She said don’t have copy that sucks.
  • #36 Silos. I should tell you about what I faced.
  • #37 Zero fans
  • #38 content
  • #39 Websites can’t get their own hits. No website can. Yes, Facebook was once described as being like having a send to friend key on the Internet.
  • #40 You missed the boat.
  • #41 content
  • #42 How do you get someone from one page to the next, to the next.
  • #48 Thanks for creating content. We love to hear about what you’re doing. Lets talk about how to tell the world what you’re doing.
