How to Facebook like a Boss
Built In Chicago ^ | 6/23/2014 | Brock Robinson

Posted on 06/24/2014 8:53:29 AM PDT by swamp40

So you're a professional, right?

Perhaps you're a CEO, CTO, product manager or co-founder of a startup?

Maybe you're a senior developer and you volunteer on weekends teaching disadvantaged kids how to code?

Maybe you're a stockbroker; an accountant? An angel investor on weekends?

You've been in the trenches. People come to you for advice, and you give it. Good, solid advice.

Advice people could make some money on, if they'd just pay attention. Advice people could take to heart. Maybe change someone's life for the better.

You should be sharing your thoughts to the world on Facebook.

One word ... plastics

No wait! I have another nugget of good, solid advice: 'Buy low, sell high'.
Have I now achieved wise sage status?

Ahh ... you are right.
I'm stuck in the 60s. Coconut Oil is the new plastics.

UNGH.

I see people posting their real estate listings on FB.

Seriously, the classic "here's a pic of my dinner" posts are better than someone pimping FB for business.

I think that people would follow you just for your clever quick-witted humor :)

Yeah, I really MUST remember that, it explains what I've been doing wrong lately.

No, because then you would have to choose from one of 56 genders.

I think self-disclosure works out great!

You know exactly who you’re dealing with, with minimal effort on your part.

Well, the point is to choose people you admire for one reason or another, and then Follow them on Facebook - not just any random stranger.

A 60ish pastor friend of mine who is not computer savvy created a facebook account under his real name.

In his nativity he ended up with a profile of himself as a homosexual, which lasted for almost a year before his son saw and fixed it.

I just make everything on Facebook public. For most practical purposes it is anyway.

I heard this advice about LinkedIn (which began sort of as a job networking board but has many of the trappings of facebook available today, depends on how you use it).

It is pointless to promote on facebook these days, they throttle down your posts from the thousands who follow you. They do this so you will PAY to promote your musings/promotions to an audience. But then it ignores those who’ve opted into your content (and were denied it because of the throttling) and spams it to their friends.

Serves no good business point.

It can also be used to list events (that attendees indicate they are going to and share amongst their friends) but even that isn’t that great of promotion.

Better advice:

(1) Register as a Democrat.

(2) Run for Congress as the voice of the common man.

(3) Get rich on insider trading schemes for which you cannot be prosecuted.

(4) Get your son/daughter placed high up at a company to which you award friendly contracts.

(5) PROFIT!
