61. Golden Rule of Social
• Don’t use Facebook to talk only about
yourself and promote your services
constantly. It’s not a billboard! Your
posts should be:
• Resources to help others
• About yourself and business
• Cardinal SIN: Direct hardcore sales
pitch and repeated posts on same
topic 61
Friday, September 20, 13
62. Facebook Don’ts
• 1. Asking questions that are too broad or too personal.
• 2. The tone is uninspiring. Share some anecdotes or customer success
stories that also show your human side.
• 3. Every post is pure text. Break up those pure text posts by adding
pictures featuring the latest contest winners, happy employees or any
image that's visually appealing and relates to your post or company.
• 4. There’s too much focus on selling. While an occasional post about a
product is fine, especially if it’s new or was recently featured in the
news, don’t use Facebook as an overt sales vehicle.
• 5. You only talk about your business. Fans expect news, tips and
photos that go beyond your business.you’re posting.
Friday, September 20, 13
63. Facebook Don’ts
• 6. The message isn’t in sync with your audience or business. Before
you post, ask yourself if the message serves the interests of your
audience in terms of being interesting, helpful or funny.
• 7. You’re not responding. Fans should know their feedback is
appreciated, so be sure to respond to their likes, comments and
questions.
• 8. Your page has an identity crisis. To avoid a cluttered page and
create a steady stream of engaging posts, develop an editorial
calendar.
• 9. You’re not offering perks. Reward them with exclusive contests,
deals and insider offers.
• 10. You give up too easily. If you place the same amount of patience
and perseverance on engaging your Facebook audience that you
applied to building your business, you’ll achieve success in social
media.
