~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~

An incredibly busy week has left precious little time for social media. The one positive thing I did was post an ad for a recently sold home, got noticed by a homeowner, and was fortunate to compete/win an upcoming listing as a result. I have had really good success with sold ads...probably better than any other type I do. What type of Facebook ads (if you run them) are providing the best results for your biz? 

There has been quite a bit of talk about FB privacy (again) the past couple of weeks. I know some are skiddish their information is being stolen/scraped. Does that concern you? I am curious...if it does what steps are you taking to protect your information (i.e. locking down your account, deleting your FB page, etc.). Inquiring minds (mine) want to know. ;-)

THANKS again to Sally K. & David L. Hanson for doing last week's article. You rock!

Anyone else want to step-in and do a Facebook Fridays article? I need someone on March 29th (in 2 weeks). Any takers?

PLEASE stop by the 5 Facebook Business Pages below, LIKE their page, and leave a comment. It is always nice to reciprocate, so if you are visited, please take a moment and return the favor.

As always, enjoy Rainers!

Hannah Williams, I definitely missed it. My apologies. Very happy you are good with doing the article on the 29th. YAY!

Thanks Debe. It must be a glitch. I cannot imagine an O.H. boost costing that much or anyone doing it for that price.

Good afternoon Anita Clark ,

Great post and glad to see it featured. Your Facebook Fridays posts are always so informative. I've had a tough time keeping up with the social media platforms lately. Glad Hannah Williams agreed to post for you on March 29th!

Hi Anita:

I haven't done all that many Facebook ads and have tended to do more boosts. I've not done this for a sold property but it's on the checklist for the next listing.

Hi Anita- you have done so much for the members here with your Facebook Friday posts!!!   I don't know what anyone is doing to protect their information. Outside of changing our passwords religiously, I'm not sure what to do.

Dorie. Yes, so pleased Hannah is doing the article on the 29th.

Come back and tell us your results, Jeff.

Kathy: It is a tough balance between sharing information so consumers can find us and leaving ourselves vulnerable.

What kind of success have you had, Steve?

I have not used Facebook ads yet. I usually try to boost the posts with very limited success.  I have heard various opinions about advertising on Facebook.

Hi Anita, Thanks for the tip. I quite sharing my friend list. Someone told me that helps. I haven't had issues since. I also try to be very careful who I accept as a friend and I don't open strange links or copy/paste things into my feed or messages. I'm sure there's more that could be done.

Glad you think so. Have a wonderful weekend, Laura.

Sham: Trust your own testing not what someone else tells you. Try a couple of $20 ads over the next month and see what your results look like.

Carla: Both are good ways to limit access by those who want your information for the wrong reasons.

Anita, Thanks for your faithfulness with Facebook Fridays!  I have done FB posts for open houses with great success, and I need to do more with the just solds.  Thanks for the reminder.

More great news...kudos to you Kathi. I do not hold open houses but have heard from several agents they get biz from FB doing them.

Will: Just trying to help the masses see more social media success.

Such an inspration Anita Clark        Although I've boosted and try to share interesting content and post original content, even watching the time of day for the best results, I still can't track any business yet from F.B.     Here's hoping persistence pays!

Anita, thank you for sharing your success with your recent sold post. I am going to test that out, haven't tried it with a sold home before. For Facebook and privacy, I think it's like everything else, there's a risk and we shouldn't post anything we wouldn't want to be leaked. We just have to accept that hacking is the world we live in and creating really strong passwords really helps.

That is a smart move, Diana. Especially if they are difficult to hack.

M.C. we never now where our next client is going to come from.

Amanda: There is definitely a risk/reward aspect to being online.
