Staying Out Of Facebook Trouble 

This show was prompted by a number of things - coaching clients, things I see on Facebook and an article. 

IF you are hesitant to share anything about your business on Social Media, the first thing to ask is - Who am I afraid of? Who do I not want to see this? 

If you really want to use social media as a tool, you can’t stay in the closet, or work through an alias if you want to be successful. 

Develop a way of sharing your business that does not come across as sales. Come up with something very professional to answer - what do you do? 

Find a few people who you admire who do social media well and you want to emulate. Study them for a few weeks and write out what they do that you like and then look at your own business and determine how you can do something similar. 

Use the 80/20 rule. No one wants to see you doing business all of the time, right? So keep it fun, social and add in your business in a strategic way. 

Stay out of sales mode - share something funny about your business; share a team success story; share a product story. 

Don’t say - Join my team, or buy from me. Find a different way of sharing and not selling, that creates an interest and makes them want to know more. 

Use a blog, and share your blog posts to a Facebook business page, and then share to your own wall. Or, pick and choose and share specific blog posts to your wall, and not all just business related. 

My MakeupBizTips.com blog, so you can see the categories I create - makeup, certainly, but also Fashion, Food, Holidays, Entertaining and so on. 

You can create a list of people you want to block from specific posts. Use this sparingly and make sure you understand WHY you don’t want them to see what you are sharing.
