Facebook Marketing Done Right!

I have taken my Real Assist QC business to the next level, and it happened almost by accident.  I started to study the psychology of Facebook.  I put up my own personal Facebook page, then my Business page.  I started to observe, participate, comment and understand the psyche of Facebook.  I saw the Social Network, I understand how the social and business aspects of Facebook tick.  I'm not an expert.  In fact to be an expert at Facebook, you would need to spend 24/7 on the site.  Why?  Because they are changing things practically hourly.  To keep up you need to spend a considerable amount of time in the help center and on the developers area. 

I find lots of Facebook pages that are violating the Facebook terms of service by posting commercial content on their personal page.  That is a big no-no and can get you bounced from Facebook altogether.  These are things that someone who specializes in Facebook can help with.  It's like someone trying to perform a do-it-yourself project that is way over their head.  It wastes time and can get you in trouble.

So I am finding a niche for Real Assist QC in helping people grow their business using Facebook Business pages.  I've invested in special software to enable me to create custom pages for clients, very custom pages.  In fact if you want to see some awesome custom fan pages look here, Stunning Fan Pages.  Its amazing what can be done.

If you don't have a Business Facebook page yet, you need to get it done NOW.  If you have one that you created yourself, you should have someone look it over for Facebook and advertising compliance, NOW.

Save yourself, act NOW!

Just Go With It

Today I saw the new movie "Just Go With It".  It was a witty and entertaining movie with a great moral, never, never lie.  Lies just lead to more lies and the more lies there are the harder it is to cover them up, and the harder it is to cover them up the more complicated the original lie gets.  So a small untruth may become a huge debacle in the end.  Now I am the parent of a 17 year old son, so I know a thing or two about lies.  The thing is, you don't have to know everything or even pretend to know it.  Your customers will respect you more if you just come clean and tell them that you need to do some research to be sure that you have the exact right answer to their questions.  Honesty, its the only way. 

I let my customers know if I don't know the answer to their question, I just think it only makes good sense.  For example, this past week I put up some new Business Facebook pages for clients.  Well in the middle of doing that, Facebook applied their newest profile application to Business pages and everything that I did with the clients and the entire look of the pages changed.  I had to fess up that I worked with the changes on personal pages, but the Business pages have some new features that I knew were coming but I just did not have them all memorized just yet.  I don't candy-coat, I usually tell it like it is.  So while I could have pretended to know what I was doing, to me that would have been deceiving to my clients, instead I just confessed that I needed to look up some of the changes and get back to them as to how the new functionality was going to effect them.

Honesty and respect go hand-in-hand.  Integrity is the result of honesty + respect, and let's face it we all want to be considered as a person of Integrity.  

My teenager, now that's a different story.
