4. Facebook
RULES OF THE ROAD
Facebook is always changing.
“Getting on Facebook” is not
a marketing strategy.
Using Facebook will not
compensate for a bad product
or service – in fact it will draw
attention to it!
Facebook is mostly free – but
your time is not.

5. The Myth We Were Sold
Step 1: Sign up for Facebook.
Step 2: Post something.
Step 3: Watch the money roll in!!

7. Organic Reach Is Plummeting
BUT it’s not dead.
The reality of the Facebook
algorithm
Users do not like being sold to.
Facebook responded by
demoting crappy content.
Reach doesn’t mean
conversions.

Upload video right into Facebook.
Video is the strongest performer in the News Feed.
50% of Americans who use Facebook on a daily basis
watch at least 1 video every day.
Your videos play automatically in the News Feed (they
play silently so grab people’s attention!!!!)
They have view counts.
Facebook has a helpful Video Upload Guide

and social media.
