Creating Compelling Status Updates & Content
8/1/2011
As your fan base develops, you need to nurture your community with
interesting content so the page is valuable to fans—give them a reason to stay and share your content with
others!
But Wait, There’s More
• To keep fans coming back for more, you must provide them a reason for doing so.
• Create a viral impact!– Post content that
others will want to share
– Attract more fans and leads
Powerful Content is a Priority
• Content isn’t limited to what we put into writing
• Photos, Links, Videos, & Questions can grab a consumer’s attention much more effectively than plain text
Keep in Mind…
• Microblogs• Links• How-to videos• Before and after photos• Blogs• Guest blogs• Promotions
Change Up Your “Content”
• You’re a local home services contractor, and you recently finished a new home exterior job where the client was very pleased
Example
o Use this opportunity to post before and after images of the job to Facebook
o Tag the homeowner in the photo and status update (with their permission, of course!)
• Pictures and videos can attract attention better than plain text or links.
• Tag individuals within your posts to cause a viral effect.– Use Facebook “Notes” where appropriate.
• Use guest blogs to build links to your page and leverage another fan base.
• Repurpose online and offline content that you already have for your Facebook page.– Hard-copy newsletters, online blogs, etc.
• Use periodicals, magazines, and newspapers to draw inspiration for attractive headlines.– You want to grab their attention at first glance!
