I just don't find it interesting to read tweets like: 'Just had my cup of coffee. It was gooood.' And although I realize Facebook is very important, I'm having difficulty understanding how to use it.
Because I have a blog.
And I want people to visit my blog. Not my Facebook page. And yes I do have one. After reading countless how-to-books about Facebook I dutifully created a Facebook fanpage especially for Momfever. And then I let it sit there, and gather dust. Because I don't know what to do with it, now that it's there. And it's making me feel guilty.
I want people to visit my blog, not Facebook
From what I understand, I can use Facebook to lure people into visiting my blog! Now thát I like. But how do I do this? Because since I'm publishing all my best efforts on my blog, there isn't much left to put on Facebook. Should I just put my blog posts on Facebook too? But then people won't have any reason to come to by blog anymore.
There is no funny twist to this post. I really am that dumb that I don't understand what's so great about Facebook. And I really wanna know what Facebook has to offer, when you already have a blog. And how to use it.
So please tell me!
I promise to like you!
I think Fb page is to create engagement with readers, more so than just trying to promote your blog. Building a community so that they are more likely to interact and want to get to know you more through your blog. I usually post other stuff than blog posts too like craft or home ideas I want to try. It's a chance to show your personality off the blog I reckon :)
ReplyDeleteLeave me a message if u drop by my page ;)
I see, but the thing is: can't I build a community on my blog?! Why can't I just build it right here?
ReplyDeleteI am going to use your advice though! Thanks.
I dropped by your blog, liked you, and visited your Facebook page.
I found this at http://blog.unionstreetmedia.com, while searching for the meaning of Facebook versus Blogs.
ReplyDelete'The purpose of a Facebook business page is to:
Connect with old customers, new customers, potential customers, and colleagues;
Share content that is both relevant and interesting;
Engage your fans with contests, business news, and other engaging content;
Keep fans in the loop on upcoming events, conferences, or anything where your company will have a presence.
The purpose of a business blog is to:
Display your expertise;
Develop a depth of content that distinguishes your business;
Bring readers up-to-date with the latest industry information;
Keep momentum going in the search engines for important keywords and topics.'
I wish I had some great advice to explain it all, but I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything completely wrong. But, I figured I'd share anyway. I have both a personal Facebook page and a blog Facebook page. After I publish every post, I share them on each page. I get a good majority of readers through my personal Facebook page, not so much through my blog Facebook. I know I'm supposed to use Facebook to engage readers, but I really don't. I use Facebook to get my readers to new posts, and then interact from there.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm doing it all wrong according to "Official Blogging Rules" but it works for me right now. If I need to change it in the future, then I will. I guess maybe that was my point for this long-winded explanation. Forget the "rules" and just do what works for you!
