How to Make a Facebook Page that Stands Out

 Facebook is a widely used social media site that can be used for many purposes. There are almost 3 billion users monthly, with 1.9 billion of those users visiting daily. (https://backlinko.com/facebook-users). Whether it’s keeping up with your family members and friends or promoting yourself and your business, it’s very useful. Today I will be telling you all about how to make a Facebook page that will attract customers to your small (or large) business.

According to the book, The Essentials of Social Media Marketing, by Michelle Charello, the first step to making an attractive Facebook page is likely the most important. It is developing a profile and cover photo. These should convey either your mission statement or the logo of your company. The next step is to provide a call to action for the customers. Include an email, phone number, website or any other link to ensure that there is a way to contact you and see what your business has to offer. Along these same lines, you need to make sure to put a location and store hours, so customers know where to find your product/service. Finally, you want to include a description with essential information about your business. For example, we are a cupcake shop selling unique weekly flavors, located in Avon, Ohio. This just informs that customer what the business does.

In addition to setting up a page for your business, you may want to check out Facebook shops. This allows you to set up a free online store. You can link your Shopify or Etsy account for example, to Facebook shops. This allows customers to visit your shop directly and even purchase products without traveling to your physical store. Another thing to consider is to ensure that all hours and information about the business are up-to-date and the links work properly.

    Your insight on creating a Facebook is great! I have tried creating aesthetic social media profiles, but without any luck. No matter how hard I try, my profile never looks as good as I hope! I may try to create an online store on Facebook, as I am planning on branching out from my baking business and creating a clothing line.

    I agree with the best 1st step of creating a good Facebook page! First impressions are so important for you to decide whether keep looking at that page or not.
    I thought Facebook is only for older generation of people, but I learned it's not true.

The Music I Listen To

I grew up listening to music. My parents and grandparents always had Christian, 80s, Irish and Elvis Presley playing. They had music playing while making dinner, cleaning and even while we just hung out around the house. I started playing the piano in 5 th grade for my church and I started playing clarinet in my school band in 6 th grade. I would have to say that playing instruments gave me a lot more respect for those that play instruments and sing for a living, it’s not easy. As for my personal preference of music growing up, I listened to 2000s pop, Christian and the collection of songs that my parents listened to that I enjoyed. I had a pop phase in the 2010s and then an alternative and indie phase when I was a senior in high school until I was a sophomore in college. Junior and senior year of college I listened to alternative rock, 80s rock and most recently phonk. For those of you who don’t know, phonk originated from Memphis in the 1990s. Now that I am about to graduate colleg...

Debunking Twitter

Hi everyone! Keeping up with the theme of informing you all about what I’ve been learning in my class’s textbook, I will be writing this blog about the innerworkings of Twitter’s algorithm, format and how I feel about the usability of this form of social media. I had Twitter my senior year of high school to keep up with sports events in the high school I went to and my friends. I didn’t follow any businesses. I deleted it and recently redownloaded it 3 years later to see if anything had changed and it hadn’t too much. According to the textbook, “Essentials of Social Media Marketing” the algorithm relies on ranking signals such as recency of the tweet, relevancy (involving keywords), engagement (likes, comments, retweets), the number of followers of the user and location relative to the specific user. Most tweets I’ve seen on my feed were from those I follow, from where my hometown is and those accounts that many people follow (like Elon Musk). Now that I’ve downloaded Twitter again, I’...

My Birthday Weekend Recap

 My birthday was March 21, which was a Tuesday. The week prior was Spring break, so I decided to go to Kentucky for a weekend trip with my boyfriend! The first part of our trip was in Loretto, Kentucky. We drove about 6 hours, after waking up at 7:00 in the morning. We finally made it to our destination, where we were able to get a tour of Maker’s Mark bourbon distillery. As soon as we got there, I was in awe of how green the landscape was and how many cows and horses I saw grazing in the fields. I even saw baby lambs! Attached below is a wonderful view of the grounds. We got a full explanation of how bourbon is made. It starts with a mix of grains (corn, barley and rye). The mixture must be made up of at least 51% corn. This mixture of grains gets yeast and water added to it and then gets placed in a vat to let the yeast do its job (fermentation). Once it’s ready, it gets strained and then distilled (meaning it gets purified by heating and vaporizing). The next step varies between...
