You may work at home, but you're not alone!
Facebook is making it harder and harder for pint sized businesses to be seen in newsfeeds. There’s even a petition going around demanding that Facebook change things so that pages can be seen without being promoted. Given that Facebook is unlikely to take such a petition seriously, it’s worth taking some time to assess what you can do to improve your edgerank.
Has your Facebook page inbox been spammed since the new timeline came into being? My guess is “yes.” Or maybe you’ve sent someone a message and are unsure if it was appropriate or not. Here’s a key pointer to help you figure out how to use Facebook Page messaging to network your business.
Have you got your shiny new Facebook timeline yet? Have you thought about how you’re going to use/or not use your timeline for branding?

Tuesdays is Pets, Photography, food and party plan day but we have some spare spaces so I’ve included a couple of other businesses who really support WAHPs in this post today.
I think sometimes we over think how to use social media for our businesses. It is easy to get caught up in the numbers and sales and forget that really, it’s about connecting and conversing, sharing and experimenting.
By now you would have noticed a few small changes on your Facebook Page but there are some changes you may not have noticed, that you need to be aware of.
On the Support a WAHP Facebook page, many businesses write posts in marketing speak but the problem is that even on Facebook promotional pages such as ours, relational, newsy posts are more likely to get noticed. The purpose of this post is to get you thinking differently about the way you write about your business both on and off Facebook.
