any new ideas from the social media pros to help us   deal with    the new   shrunken reach of our picture posts on fb?      whats the   consensus now?
i havent fouond much new    lately   on the places where i go for info…lots on the event but little on what to do……..besides good content?   i wonder what the pros are   prescribing….i love pictures…they define my page.
..i sure hope this subject isnt being dropped…. i know what im doing but would like to hear   how   others are reacting to all this….

@annfurnivall – are you already working with a Pinterest account? I was wondering if I should focus on Pinterest as ‘storage location’ for my photos and then update my FB account from there. But then again, I heard that links get the least reach in FB. But it would be a good opportunity to build up my Pinterest account now and maybe create more traffic there alltogether…

@annfurnivall I hadn’t heard about photo reach reduction. I have noticed that my text-only posts seem to get the most views lately (mainly my AM status updates).
@claudiapoeckl Interesting idea. I generally throw Infographics, research and other fun stuff into our Pinterest account. I do have a Woobox (I think) button on our Facebook page. In fact, Pinterest gave our website 4 visits last month

@claudiapoeckl i do pinterest…but its not local customers like my facegbook is…. i love pinterest tho!!! and lots of my fb fans are on my boards……i wouldnt want all my pictures on pinterest….just the best ones….
@kc_kreative the photo thing is a big concern to some…like me…. there was a l ong comment section on it on grandma marys page a few days ago….many of us love pictures and are seeing our dull text only posts doing better than the pictures….

Are your picture posts getting less actual engagement than they did before, @annfurnivall ? Text posts are getting higher reach but I still see that my photo posts are getting a similar amount of actual comments and likes and that’s the important thing!

@andrea-vahl….i looked at the picture posts and the engagement  WAS about the same..down about 10%….im suprised very much by this….. but still so many fewer people saw the posts….the lsilent majority who dont engage
this is what i found in a general way about all the posts….i looked at the most recent 10 posts and compared them to the 10 posts before sept 21……it seems pretty dramatic …
engaged users went from average per post 180 down to 70,,,,,
and talking about this…from 40 average per post down to 20…
i figures d this would be a good comparison..
..then there is the issue of all the folks who signed up to   hear from me   and want to but never   bother to engage….wish you could see my insight page!
if a few folks comment  on a picture post the   reach still goes up over 1000, out of my 3700 fans….so it doesnt feel hopeless….but so many of the picture posts which were always good arent even getting to 700 reach….
i just read that taco bell   posted something without a picture…. thats what im doing   too…

Wow, that’s something to think about. Taco Bell, the bright and sassy visual King among advertisers, posted something without a picture? Well, that about says it all…

You know, Chris Munch made his fortune copying what he learned while working for Big Brands. His whole “Pigeon” series of online courses emphasizes using photo/image/quote bait to draw viewers to your website. He’s sold more Warrior Forum Special Offers than anyone else on a marketer’s forum with over half a million members. Meaning… he’s the internet marketing Guru among gurus in visual marketing.
I’m wondering now what his take is on visual’s diminishing returns on Facebook… I must admit that I haven’t bought his recent courses where I’m sure he’s been spelling this out long before now. He’s always ahead of the game.
Anyone know what Chris Munch’s take on this is?
