“True friends are always together in spirit.” ~ L.M. Montgomery
Have you seen posts on Facebook asking you to tag a friend? If you haven’t, have YOU thought about posting relatable “tag a friend” content?
Try posting a relevant image to your business (maybe a new product, or your latest offer) and asking your audience to tag their friends. This is a great way of increasing engagement, increasing brand awareness, and gaining new followers without feeling overtly promotional.
For today’s Tip on Tuesday, we’re going to chat a little about one of the free tools on Facebook you can use to help keep your company visible.
Why not ask your clients or customers to “check in” on Facebook when they visit you? Many people really like this tool on Facebook, and use it almost like a diary.
Whilst you’re not actively doing any marketing and therefore using none of your marketing budget, it does mean that friends of your client see where they’re checking in and notice your name. And being noticed is so, so valuable!
See you next time!
Today I am going to visit the current rumours on Facebook surrounding a wide scale hacking of accounts.
You might have seen on your timeline a number of posts like this: –
❌❌❌❌ Urgent ❌❌❌❌
All the accounts are being hacked. The profile picture and your name are used to create a new Facebook account. Then they want your friends to add them, your friends think it’s you and accept. From this moment, the pirates can write what they want under your name!! ….. Please do not accept a 2nd invitation from me!! Copy this message on your wall to warn your friends!
Do not share. Make a copy and paste this message.
Just in case, protect your accounts!.
For once, unlike many of these viral warnings, it seems there is some element of genuine risk. However, to put it into context. Firstly accounts aren’t being hacked, no-one is entering your account on Facebook, they are copying your profile picture and creating a new account – so in effect cloning you. Secondly, the level of occurence is in dispute, there is certainly no suggestion currently that it is all the accounts on Facebook.
So, what can you do to avoid this happening?
