  • Join Me On Facebook for “Fun Friday” Giveaways

    Posted Sep 18th, 2010 By in Facebook, Social Networking With | No Comments

    As you may already know, I launched my new Facebook page a couple of months ago.  My goal for this page is to educate likers on how to properly use the social web  for their business and to empower them to think of unique and creative ways to engage their audience as part of a long-term strategy.

    On October 1, I will be announcing a huge giveaway exclusive to all likers of the page.  If you are not already a liker, I would love to have you as part of the community so you can join all the excitement!

    A couple of weeks ago, I announced “Fun Friday” to give back to my community. This is my attempt to create a fun learning experience, get to know and educate my community as much as I can as well as give them an opportunity to get to know me better.  Every Friday, I post a trivia question or scavenger hunt at 9 a.m. Pacific.  The first person to answer the question or find the item I hide of the hunt, will receive a 1-hour complimentary phone/Skype consultation with me.

    I already gave away three free consultations and all were extremely excited about what they learned just from a 1-hour phone call.  Below are the unsolicited comments they posted on Facebook and Twitter:

    This week, Jarrett Gucci of Dynasty Web Solutions (the brilliant mind behind my Facebook page design and a WordPress WIZ) helped me come up with a fun scavenger hunt.  All participants had to find “Mini Mirna” (a small image of me) on Jarrett’s page, then double click my image to receive a social media tip (see images below).  The first person who reported the tip back on my page won the scavenger hunt.  There were approximately 30 people who liked Jarrett’s page to try to find me.

    A lot of creativity and planning went into this, and I hope many of my Facebook likers learned a new fun way to engage their audience with social networking.  This is what it means to entertain, educate, and collaborate — all essential elements of social media.

     

    There I am standing on top of the world!

    It’s been a blast every week, and I hope a lot of you will join us every Friday and spread the word, please!

  • Who’s Blogging What: The 2010 Facebook Page Marketing Guide

    Posted Jun 25th, 2010 By in Facebook, Social Networking With | 1 Comment

    A while back, I ran a  Facebook poll on my blog asking readers if they were getting business from their Facebook pages — 44% said “No,” 33% said “Yes,” 14% said “They didn’t know” if they were getting business and 9% said they were not using it to get business.

    If you are not getting the business results you want out of Facebook, then it is time to re-evaluate your micro-strategy (you have one, right?), and if you don’t know if you are getting results, then you are probably not measuring your efforts.

    My plan was to write a blog post in response to the poll; however, Jeff Ente from “Who’s Blogging What” contacted me to tell me he is using one of my quotes for a new guide Facebook guide.

    The timing was perfect and thought it was an excellent eBook to share with my blog readers who are still struggling with how to use Facebook for business.  This 30-page complimentary guide on how to create, manage, and grow your Facebook pages was prepared by a team of professional observers, bloggers, consultants and users of Facebook business pages.

    Here is sneak peak at the table of contents:

    Creating a Facebook page

    Examples of effective pages

    Six Ways To Get Found On Facebook

    Getting People To ‘Like’ Your Facebook Page

    Developing Content/Inbound Marketing For Facebook

    Leveraging Facebook for Ecommerce

    Facebook’s potential to make sales become viral

    Analyzing Facebook Traffic

    Newsfeed: Parting thoughts on Facebook from a group of social media

    observers, authors and bloggers

    The eBook can be downloaded on the HubSpot website.  BTW, my quote is on page 27 of the guide.  (ADDED April 2011) Also, there is a new update since the book was released.  Here is information on the new one:

    In The Facebook Marketing Update – Spring 2011, “How to use The Open Graph to connect with your market” you will find out how to:

    • Optimize the Like button and the Open Graph to improve engagement
    • Use iFrames for custom Facebook page content

    • Create a contest that will accomplish almost any conversion goal
    • Use Facebook Connect for ecommerce
    • Make the most out of Facebook Places and Deals
    • Take advantage of the significant upgrade to Facebook Comments plug-in
    • Apply best practices to advertising on Facebook

    You can download the update version here.
