Do you have a Facebook business page? (If not, and you’d like to, read my blog post here: How to Create a Facebook Business Page.)
If you do have a Facebook business page, you may find you’re not getting enough engagement, and your “reach”, or the number of followers who see your posts, is in the single digits. So it may be time for paid Facebook ads.
There are basically two ways to increase your reach on […]
Should you have a Facebook business page?
Facebook now has 2 billion active users. So, yes, you should have a Facebook business page.
The problem has always been how to reach those users through your page. The old advice of posting consistently to show up on your follower’s news feeds seems to be dated now. According to this article, there’s no point in having a business page unless you’re going to pay to boost your posts: R.I.P […]
Are you filling up your cell phone storage with photos and you don’t want to delete any because you want to be able to share them with people?
A better way to share would be to use a cloud photo sharing service that will store your photos online. You can send links to your photos for sharing and you can use an app on your phone to show them off.
Cloud photo sharing services have been around […]
Should you be paying attention to the most-followed on Twitter?
Some people use Twitter to connect with family and friends, but for most us, that’s not the case. We’re more likely to use Facebook or Instagram for that.
Most people use Twitter instead to get news, follow sports, follow celebrities, and follow brands. Most people don’t themselves do any “tweeting”.
Celebrities like Justin Bieber and Katy Perry are among the most popular on Twitter. The most popular on […]
Have you ever tried Instagram?
Instagram is an iOS or Android app for sharing photos and videos with “followers”. Those can be your Instagram followers or you can instantly post to Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, or Tumblr.
Instagram has filters that you can use to change and improve the look of your photos.
When you take a photo using the app, you’ll have a choice of filters to use. Here are some popular filters:
The most popular is […]
When I first started using Facebook, it was an exciting new way to connect with friends, especially friends whom I didn’t see very often.
Over time, more and more people connected with me on Facebook – friends, co-workers, family, childhood acquaintances, other parents, etc. I found it easier to segment my news feed into Facebook friends lists so that I could view them separately and on my own schedule.
The other advantage to keeping Facebook friends lists […]
Are you shopping online for almost everything?
It probably depends somewhat on your age. Most of us are not yet shopping online for furniture, home repair & home decorations, and jewelry but we are for books, music, movies, and electronics. Many of us are increasingly shopping online for clothes. The younger you are, the more likely you are to be buying your groceries (and everything else) online. If you have a family, you’re probably not […]
The old fashioned way to manage projects was for a project manager to keep the schedule. The project manager would hold review meetings to update it (thereby wasting everyone’s time), or visit cubicles/make phone calls for updates.
The more modern way to manage projects is the Agile method. This typically involves a project manager holding short, daily, “scrum” (comes from a rugby term) meetings.
With a cloud tool to manage projects, everyone on the projects can update […]
You may have heard of “The Cloud”. It’s a term that basically just means the Internet.
I am a big fan of cloud services. It’s magic to me, the way that the photos that I take with my cell phone appear on my PC when I get home, without having to connect any cables, and to have my work from my desktop PC instantly available to me on my laptop.
Your email, for example, is a cloud […]
We have online accounts for so many things these days – email, social networking, cloud services, financial services, medical accounts, even the local library. Security experts tell us that passwords should be long, cryptic, and unique for each account, but if you follow their guidelines, how can you possibly manage your passwords and remember them all? You’re trading security for convenience and saying hello to digital frustration.
I recommend handing over control to those security experts by […]
