Listen up!!!!!!! A MUST READ!!! Fantastic Facebook posting training by Charlotte Siems!!!
Facebook Training Moment: Most of you probably don't realize that I worked for a Social Media company for a year in 2013, as a mindset trainer in their business coaching program. I'm no Social Media expert, but I picked up a bit of knowledge working behind the scenes with some people who are. So here's some training to help you:
If you like something another Ambassador has posted, "Like" it and comment but DO NOT say in your comment "This is great, can I share it?"
Do you know what that does? It spoils the moment. The person wrote a good post that touched emotions. Other people are reading and being affected by it. Then when you post something for your own business, like "Is it okay if I share this?" it takes people out of their emotions and puts them into their intellect. They "wake up" and realize "Oh, they're trying to sell me something" and they scroll past in their newsfeed.
Any Ambassador who "gets" the culture of Plexus won't mind if you borrow their post. Like and comment so they get more views, but don't comment in a way that calls attention to business. I really don't want people messaging me to ask if they can use my post. I get enough messages. You hereby haveth my permission to borroweth my stuff.
One last thing: I mean this in a kind way, but "sharing" is lazy. It's easy to hit the share button. But if several other people shared the same thing, Facebook squashes them together into one post and you get lost in a crowd. Always add your original comment if you use someone else's testimony. Click on the image, save it, and upload it to your post so it won't get lumped with others' shares.
Here's a challenge: make the MAJORITY of your posts original. Don't make them sound like an ad. Make them a story. People love stories. Your newsfeed should be the story of your life, showing you as positive, helpful and happy. Mix in occasional posts about products or sales, but don't blast your business all day. That will turn people off and they'll ignore you.
Hope this helps!
