Lesson Info
Use Facebook to Grow Your Business
So facebook is the other very big social media platform that we can be using, you can create your own business page on facebook and this allows you to kind of create sort of a community within your own facebook to share all these photos, share your posts. And it allows a lot of your clients and friends of your clients to share everything more easily. It's also another way of generating word of mouth facebook versus instagram. In this case facebook you can do a lot more, you can create an album, you can create a specific post, you can add more detail, You can actually tag probably a few more people. There are different generations at this point that are on facebook versus instagram and so kind of depending on what your social network is, there may be more people on facebook than instagram and you can do a little bit more as far as location posting, adding videos, doing tutorials, having conversations on facebook is a little bit easier on top of all this leading back into instagram. When...
you create a facebook business page, you will be able to create an instagram business account which will allow you to have insights into who's looking at your photos, who are your most common followers, what insights and what and what likes you have on certain photos. It's super helpful in instagram. So for now go onto facebook, create your business page, start getting up some of the same photos you're going to use for a portfolio on your website and start posting
