Maybe you have been too busy to read the postings on the blog of mass destruction cleverly disguised as a hot dog stand but I want to remind you all that the February 13th deadline is fast approaching. What is so special about February 13, 2010? That is the day that you will go out of business if your business doesn't have a Facebook fan page.
If you have not started your page do so today. The best way to get fans for it is to take the blog that you have spent years building and put a badge on it asking people to become a fan of your fan page. That will drive traffic away from your blog but lets face it who needs a blog when you can have a fan page. The blog is a great way to promote a fan page. Your blog traffic may go down but your Facebook traffic will go up. Google won't find you there but Google has been replaced by the little search box in Facebook, right above the Victoria's secret ad.
For people like me Facebook presents some challenges. It only works for people who have friends. I have a couple of friends and I won't embarrass them by naming names. I used to wonder why so many of the losers I know have so many friends. Now I know their secret.
They use the automatic friend finder. In fact last time I was on Facebook I saw the names of some of my friends and this message" ________________found many of their friends using the automatic Friend Finder." I had no idea it could all be done using a little program in Facebook.
I had no idea there was such a thing as an automatic friend finder. I always figured that I don't have many friends because I don't like people all that much. Apparently all I have to do is automate the friend finding process through the Facebook friend finder. I am tempted to use it. Maybe I could even find a friend who would go out to lunch with me and would be willing to sit at the same table. . . or maybe that would be pushing my social skills to the limit . . . but still . .
Please set up your fan page today. Use your web sites or blogs to drive traffic to it and use the automatic friend finder to make friends. If you can't get all of this done and end up going out of business on February the 13th don't worry. The good news is you can always become a social media expert. The bad news is you still need a fan page, so get cracking!
You should become a fan of me.
It so cool that February 13th is the day people will be out of business if they don;t have fan pages – at least its before Valentine’s day so they won’t be tied up with appointments on that day 😉
Just out of curiosity – are these oscillating fans? Or collapsible?
Tcar – I have always been a fan, I just choose to admire you from afar.
Bill – window fan.
Admiration from afar of the Blog Goddess is best for one’s health. When she’s angry she throws some mighty mean lightening bolts!
Ouch!
okayfine. i used the autofriendfinder service. did you see my lovely mug up in your header? i sure hope so. 🙂
in my defense, it found five past clients i had forgotten to search for on facebook. wheee locals! much easier than searching for everyone in my local contact list one. at. a. time…
Kelley – no argument from me. I just had no idea the whole friend thing could be so easy.
I’ve been doing it all wrong!! My page points to my blog. I do like the auto-finder. How else would I ever meet these strangers (er, friends) who seek me out?
T! I’m not greedy. I’ve met you. So quoting Forrest Gump – that’s all I have to say about that. :>)
How the heck are you Larry? Have you been behaving yourself?
T. – Barely under control with anxiety! THE 13TH IS COMING THE 13TH IS COMING! Hope this message works cuz I got no fans to blow this by.:)
I am not sire you need fans, just a fan page but I will check with the experts.
when you’re down, and the world seems dark and empty, Your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.
