@aeolidia sounds good. I wonder how many people actually seen the header. Few I am guessing. #omhg myCHILDish at 06/21/2012 01:20 PM EST
@myCHILDish Sarah, if I were you I would change yours to match your monthly themed products - I think that would be cute! #omhg MarisaEdghill at 06/21/2012 01:21 PM EST
@MarisaEdghill @myCHILDish I was thinking that, too - the cover photo on FB is a good place to feature new products. #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:23 PM EST
@MarisaEdghill that's the plan, I've been putting it off until my new site is done. No idea why! #omhg myCHILDish at 06/21/2012 01:24 PM EST

So, hands up if Facebook is confusing & complicated to you compared to Twitter (hand up here!) #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:16 PM EST
@myCHILDish AGREED! #omhg loveaffairpaper at 06/21/2012 01:21 PM EST
@aeolidia I agree. I think that people only see your posts on twitter or facebook if they happen to be on when you post. #omhg ThatGirlShelley at 06/21/2012 01:21 PM EST
@aeolidia agree, but for some reason I am fine with that. Twitter is a flowing conversation, FB I use to post new information. #omhg myCHILDish at 06/21/2012 01:22 PM EST
@ThatGirlShelley I am more likely to scroll back on FB and read past updates when I log in, but w/Twitter, I just look at the current. #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:24 PM EST

Hi all! and immediately raising my hand to that first question! #omhg RocajoStudio at 06/21/2012 01:17 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade I find the opposite, can't get my community started on twitter in the same way, I just don't connect with folks here. #omhg anointment at 06/21/2012 01:17 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade yes just don't know how to form relationships on Facebook... #omhg storyofmum at 06/21/2012 01:18 PM EST
@myCHILDish @aeolidia good question!! #omhg MarisaEdghill at 06/21/2012 01:18 PM EST
*Hand is way up in the clouds* #omhg birdbags at 06/21/2012 01:18 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade hands up -> I would say Facebook is more and more frustrating actually #omhg studioroseflash at 06/21/2012 01:18 PM EST
Used to feel that about FB, but we started consciously paying attention to it recently and now enjoy it. V different from twitter #omhg clareyuille at 06/21/2012 01:18 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade yes! Hate that people who "like" my page rarely see my posts. #omhg myCHILDish at 06/21/2012 01:18 PM EST
Great question! RT @myCHILDish: @aeolidia how often should we refresh our FB header image? Often, or leave it the same? #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:18 PM EST
@myCHILDish keep yr profile pic pretty static, but the cover photo isn't used as much to identify you, so would be okay to switch out. #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:18 PM EST

@ohmyhandmade It's easier for me to connect on twitter than facebook. My FB page is so neglected. Seriously, tumble weed. #omhg blah_cubed at 06/21/2012 01:24 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade what's happened with Facebook pages not showing updates - has something changed? #omhg storyofmum at 06/21/2012 01:19 PM EST
@anointment I agree that it's easier sometimes to see a response on Facebook than on Twitter! #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:19 PM EST
@clareyuille I'm enjoying it for sparking "visual conversations" & longer chats vs twitter which feels much more ephemeral. #omhg MarisaEdghill at 06/21/2012 01:19 PM EST
@myCHILDish @aeolidia good question, I'd like to know too! #omhg anointment at 06/21/2012 01:19 PM EST
Design wise Facebook offers us more options then Facebook but I have had a harder time connecting/having conversations there #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:19 PM EST

I have not changed my image since I create the cover. Do you guys change your cover photo often?
#omhg ThatGirlShelley at 06/21/2012 01:20 PM EST
Because I'm on Etsy, I feel like I get a lot of "likes" from other shops..then nothing. How do I get likes from potential buyers? #omhg birdbags at 06/21/2012 01:20 PM EST
@birdbags It is important to ask people to like you on Facebook-in follow ups & convos etc... #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:22 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade I agree..But how many things can you ask people to "like" ..""follow"? It gets to be a bit much in my opinion #omhg birdbags at 06/21/2012 01:24 PM EST
I read that FB pages whose posts/links/etc you're not actively commenting/"liking" sort of disappear from your news feed. #omhg ThreeBySea at 06/21/2012 01:21 PM EST
@ThreeBySea I have read that too & it does seem to be the case. They are definitely pushing for more engagement from users #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:22 PM EST
@ThreeBySea unless you physically go in and select "show in newsfeed". Which most people won't do! #omhg MarisaEdghill at 06/21/2012 01:22 PM EST
@ThreeBySea Yes, I find that the pages I interact with more show up more in my news feed. #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:22 PM EST
@aeolidia @threebysea So how do we get people to interact more if they can't see us? Be more interesting in 1st place (i failed!) #omhg storyofmum at 06/21/2012 01:24 PM EST

I am amazed at how powerful the response is to personal images on Facebook-1000x the engagement of a link/status update #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:21 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade yes. Video too is a powerful engagement tool. #omhg studioroseflash at 06/21/2012 01:22 PM EST

@NoisetteAcademy Yes, I find just as I think I've got the hang of FB, they change it all again! #omhg sparrowprimitiv at 06/21/2012 01:24 PM EST
@NoisetteAcademy Agree, Isa! I'm all for change, though, especially if it's improvement. #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:24 PM EST

@RocajoStudio Right, but many customers will go to your FB page to look for news, specials, info, etc. #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:27 PM EST
@aeolidia Should twitter & FB content be different? #omhg loveaffairpaper at 06/21/2012 01:25 PM EST

I have found on FB that sharing personal images/news gets engagement but asking biz related questions/sharing posts doesn't #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:27 PM EST

I'm guilty of auto pushing FB posts to my Twitter feed. *hangs head in shame* I promise to change it today. ;-) #omhg ThreeBySea at 06/21/2012 01:32 PM EST
@storyofmum It doesn't have to be all the time, just when you want to share something with them. Special occasion etc #omhg NoisetteAcademy at 06/21/2012 01:32 PM EST
Interesting! RT @clareyuille: fans not interested in blog/stuff that takes them out of FB, putting energy in creating FBspecific stuff #omhg RocajoStudio at 06/21/2012 01:32 PM EST
@ThatGirlShelley sort of like setting your answering machine to have a conversation-best to talk directly & be available to reply #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:32 PM EST
Thanks for the tip! Great advice! RT@MarisaEdghill make it super easy to find you - visible link on website, blog, email signature #omhg birdbags at 06/21/2012 01:32 PM EST
@birdbags FB customers usually find me from sharing on FB. I also have a link on my website. #omhg myCHILDish at 06/21/2012 01:32 PM EST

@clareyuille What types of things do you post on fb? #omhg ThatGirlShelley at 06/21/2012 01:33 PM EST

@ThreeBySea #omhg I do too :( thekitty at 06/21/2012 01:33 PM EST
You're missing an opportunity if you auto-post the same things to Twitter & FB. You could catch interest a 2nd time w/new words! #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:34 PM EST
@clareyuille What type of FB-specific content are creating? #omhg ThreeBySea at 06/21/2012 01:34 PM EST
@MarisaEdghill @ThreeBySea I think its okay... in moderation. I do it too! auto posting/feeding tweets to fb #omhg TrashN2Tees at 06/21/2012 01:34 PM EST
RT @NoisetteAcademy: huge opportunity to build FB community now that less people are commenting + liking.Be visible by commenting more #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:34 PM EST
@ThreeBySea Don't be ;) I have my RSS feed post to Facebook then post to twitter. Saves me oodles of time. #omhg studioroseflash at 06/21/2012 01:34 PM EST
@ThreeBySea I do the same thing. RT Im guilty of auto pushing FB posts to my Twitter feed. *hangs head in shame* #omhg ThatGirlShelley at 06/21/2012 01:34 PM EST
@myCHILDish it is - but I do try to check in everyday just to make sure! Takes a few minutes but helps to contain fires. #omhg MarisaEdghill at 06/21/2012 01:34 PM EST
You'll get less engagement if you auto-post - like @ohmyhandmade said, like talking to an answering machine! #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:34 PM EST
I find having to have a "personal page" in order to have a "fan page" a little confusing. I always accidentally "like" w/ the personal #omhg skoopehome at 06/21/2012 01:34 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade yes! Bundles and Buzz is a great example of FB engagement. For some reason I can't seem to link here #omhg myCHILDish at 06/21/2012 01:35 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade true - it's not one instead of the other. It's both for me. Plus I find tweets get buried - repetition is good. #omhg MarisaEdghill at 06/21/2012 01:35 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade no one mentioned any pages rockin' facebook yet have they? #omhg TrashN2Tees at 06/21/2012 01:35 PM EST
I think I need to get into using HootSuite more so I can better control what/when/if I double post to FB & Twitter #omhg ThreeBySea at 06/21/2012 01:35 PM EST
@aeolidia I've recently unfollowed a bunch of people autofeeding tweets into FB. It's annoying and clogs up your newsfeed. #omhg NoisetteAcademy at 06/21/2012 01:35 PM EST

@aeolidia thats a good point about posting the same thing twice #omhg thekitty at 06/21/2012 01:36 PM EST

@NoisetteAcademy Yes, I've blocked the twitterbot from my FB feed. #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:36 PM EST
thx everyone! I consider myself a newbie in fb & twitter -starting a business so the distinction between both is helpful #omhg loveaffairpaper at 06/21/2012 01:36 PM EST
@ThreeBySea Hootsuite helped me a lot! #omhg blah_cubed at 06/21/2012 01:36 PM EST

Also did countdown to an event with new photo + details posted every day. People seemed to like out and we got a big turnout #omhg clareyuille at 06/21/2012 01:37 PM EST
I have to say that if you're posting on FB many times a day, I will unfollow. I get annoyed if it's too much from one biz / blog. #omhg MarisaEdghill at 06/21/2012 01:37 PM EST
@pigandfish HI! Everyone be sure to visit the wonderful guest post from Nanako on OMHG today! http://t.co/FvdUBfch #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:37 PM EST
@blah_cubed call to action on you blog, in product listings, on twitter. tell people what following you on fb will give them #omhg TrashN2Tees at 06/21/2012 01:37 PM EST
@TrashN2Tees Thanks! I really haven't promoted my FB page at all. Still figuring out how to differentiate it from my twitter. #omhg blah_cubed at 06/21/2012 01:38 PM EST

I didn't know you could autofeed Twitter into FB...I only did FB into Twitter. That has to be annoying to read all those tweets on FB #omhg ThreeBySea at 06/21/2012 01:37 PM EST
OH NO! RT @myCHILDish: @ohmyhandmade I just found out my personal FB posts were auto posting through twitter!! #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:38 PM EST
@ohmyhandmade I know! I was not happy about that. I still can't find the setting to stop it. I don't post often on my personal FB #omhg myCHILDish at 06/21/2012 01:39 PM EST
So much good stuff and my favorite button seems broken :( #omhg RocajoStudio at 06/21/2012 01:38 PM EST
I'm a fan of Tweetdeck for Chrome, have used Hootsuite in the past RT @TrashN2Tees: @ThreeBySea I love hootsuite! #omhg ohmyhandmade at 06/21/2012 01:38 PM EST
Yes, I've heard that people are much less tolerant of multiple posts on Facebook! For a biz page, once a day or so is good for FB. #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:38 PM EST

Especially if you're posting "spammy" type things often on Facebook - you'll get hidden from news feeds and won't even know it! #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:39 PM EST
@aeolidia sometimes it sucks because you'll really want to keep up with the person but the spam just drives you crazy #omhg skoopehome at 06/21/2012 01:40 PM EST

Have any of you paid for Facebook advertising, or "promoted" a post? I'd love to hear how that went. #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:40 PM EST
@aeolidia I did, actually, tried both ads and promoted post. The ad worked better, I had more likes and more traffic to the website #omhg studioroseflash at 06/21/2012 01:42 PM EST

@skoopehome Can you choose "only important posts" for businesses, or just personal pages? That might help. #omhg aeolidia at 06/21/2012 01:42 PM EST
@aeolidia I'm not sure. That would really help #omhg skoopehome at 06/21/2012 01:44 PM EST
@aeolidia Did FB advertising -fans shot up but not much real engagement. Concentrating on building relationships so dropped it for now #omhg clareyuille at 06/21/2012 01:46 PM EST
