If you are new, Start Here! (175 posts)

  • Welcome!  
    I just wanted to make sure everyone knew where to find things, and how to navigate around just in case you missed some of these links in the Home Page of the Clubs.

    First if you are wondering how to do things (send messages, start a new topic, etc) then read Kristi’s great Getting Started Guide.  
    Make sure you know all the rules of what you can post, where to post it, and more in our Club Rules  Note that affiliate links and blatant self-promotion are not allowed and will be removed.  We’re here to help each other and learn!  Also, try and keep each Club on topic.  

    Please do not post links to your sites in this thread, post them in the Introduce Yourself thread here:  http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/clubs/facebook/forum/topic/introduce-yourselves-2/

    If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask – you can contact any of the Club Leaders or Moderators with any questions or concerts.  Happy Clubbing :)

  • I have a profile picture on Facebook that I would like to use here.  I do not have Gravatar, nor am I allowed to download it.  What URL should I use to link to my picture?

  • Hi Andrea, when I click on ‘follow this topic’, an empty new tab appears?

  • Not sure why that happens, @pollyb – but you will get e-mail updates for the topic from now on.  If you want to take your name off the list, then just go in and say Mute this topic.

  • @pollyb

    You found a bug!  We are on it.

    @monica13997

    Have you tried linking your Facebook account to your account?  Gravatar is a free service where you simply upload your photo and identify the email addresses you want it associated to

  • @monica13997, you can definitely choose fb photo for your SME club image. Do following:

    Go to fb(login i mean), click on your profile pic at right side, then your profile pic will be displayed on page (say album or like that) then again click on that picture, and when the profile picture fully opens, right click on it and select copy image location or copy image url, then switch to your SME Club profile tab, edit your profile> choose avatar> and paste that copied link in the SME Profile avatar link box. That’s done! I have tried and tested this so i’m confident of it to work!

  • @mike-stelzner, i was also getting rid of this, but never thought it is a bug as far as i am getting the updates! Thanks !

  • @Moin Shaikh  Thank you!!!!

  • @monica13997 Gravatar is also useful on other sites as well, handy to have around.

  • Hi

  • I have been a member for some time, but would like to become more involved. I’m looking forward to learning and sharing. I plan to visit often so that I can get the hang of it.

  • Hi everyone,Have been a member since the beta testing stage but totally forgotten about checking out the club. Too engrossed in my effort in trying to increase my fan base for my 2 fanpages.Hope to be able to visit more often to learn and share with like-minded people here. 

    Regards,Louis  

  • I’m just getting started and will try to read 1-2 topics each night. I know there are so many tricks and I feel overwelmed in the fact that I want to know them all YESTERDAY.

  • Is there a way to personalize my Facebook URL address which currently random letters and numbers? Is there a benefit in personalizing my Facebook URL?

  • I’m new to the club and my facebook page is relatively new as well.  I have a massive amount to learn, and I hope eventually I can be of help to others.

  • A newbie here, and old dog on Facebook.

  • Hi:

    Just signed up tonight, looking forward to hanging with you guys!

    Donna

  • Hello,  I am here to learn from the best.  Thank you!Kelly

  • Hi, new here. Hope I can contribute something useful for everyone.

    Add me and lets chat sometime.

  • @Breffni Fox:  Benefits to personalizing your FB URL is the ease of remembering it and making it usable to other websites. If it is your BRAND, then it makes sense to your fan base. You can select a username at: http://www.facebook.com/username

    You may choose a username that Facebook suggests, or create your own. Select “Check availability” to check for available usernames. If the desired username is available, click “Confirm” in order to confirm your choice. 

  • Greetings! I’ve been following Social Media Examiner for a little over a year now and am very proud to be in the Clubs! It’s nice to see a group of people out there supporting the growth of Social Media.

    If you would like to learn more about me, you can check out my website @ Loaded-Designs.com. I look forward to learning more about all of you!

  • Hi,

    Thanks for this site.  I am also new and ready to learn how to network.  Not off to a good start on FB – they will not allow me to requests friends for 7 days – not sure why.  So please ADD me as a friend and if anyone can tell me what i am doing wrong please let me know.  I look forward to networking with you all.

    Thanks, Jim

  • @JamesBelanger…   The same thing happened to me when I started. They don’t like it when you are too ambitious. You just tried to friend too many people at once & probably some you don’t know so a few may have clicked “I don’t know this person”  Slow & Steady…  Create great content, make relevant comments on busy posts & they will begin to send you invitations. 

  • Hey everyone, just signed up! Looking to forward to networking with everyone.

    Is there a Social Media Examiner app for Android? Would be nice to have an easy way to participate in the these clubs while on the go!

  • I have just joined and am looking forward to learning much! Thanks!

  • @jamesbelangerHi maybe you added to many friends. that happen to me once for that reason . you should never add more than 15 at a time

  • Hello All,I can’t tell you how excited I am to received this invite from SME! I own a SM Management company in sunny Naples, Florida and I can’t wait to learn more and help fellow members…Socially Yours….Cherry

  • @jamesbelanger Lay low on your friending activity for awhile, even if FB allows you to start friending. Your account gets flagged and in doing so, will just give you a 14 day notice. Engage more and let new friends add you as a friend, after about a week or two you can resume adding friends. Add 10-15 max a day and you should be ok. TC

  • Hi everyone,I am excited to join my first social media group.  I administer the facebook page for my agency and need to get educated on more of the opportunities.  Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Hello
    I decided to join the Facebook club (I’m already on Small Business and Blogging) because I need help! I need a 101 course on how FB works as I’m quite confused in who gets to see my posts – or even if they are being shared. A waste of time and effort to do posts that no-one sees, I figure…
    look forward to being part of the club and having all my questions answered.
    I run a 5-room boutique hotel in Marrakech and I see the need for a great FB presence.

  • As you can tell I’m unprepared and late to the party. My name is Rudy, entrepeneur and online marketer. Ask me about Adwords (no probs), Ask me about SEO (no probs), ask me about Facebook, NO CLUE. That’s why I’m here.

    I am currently putting all my eggs (my experience) into one basket by creating a site with a lot of potential for success and something I can to till I die (phruugle). I will get more into the site in another post.

    I have created a facebook page , now I’m stuck. How to get friends, fans, likes. I will be launching my site within the next 2 months, so I do have time to figure all this out. That’s why I’m here.

    Hopefully by being here among like minded people will be a great experience.

    Thank you have a great day.

    p.s. Pic will be uploaded soon

  • Greetings to all,

    I am thankful for an opportunity to put Social media puzzle pieces together. If money were no issue solutions would have likely already been found.  Many need to get as much value as possible, especially in this economy. There are many voices vying for our attention.  Therein lies the dilemma.  This platform of helping each other is much needed

  • Hi all

    Im new to this today, it all looks quite interesting and fun.

    I am the UK Marketing Manager for a UK leading Managed print service provider. I am looking to increase the number of followers that we have on Twitter, and also trying to help more businesses to save money and reduce the amount of uneccessary waste on thier digital print machinery.

    Below is our twiitter address should you like to follow us.

    https://twitter.com/#!/ApogeeCorp

    I have a huge amount of interest in Social Media especially as it played a huge part in my journey to getting to where i am today.

    I look forward to seeing what this group can bring.

  • Following a year in the position of a B2B sales rep for a social media marketing services agency I became less than excited with the quality of services that were being provided to clients I had signed, so I recently launch my own business.  My professional background includes years of ad sales in most every type of media, but as everyone reading this knows, social media is a whole different animal. With limited funds available I need to attract additional clients by providing exceptional service to my current clients. Have to admit to stummbling a wee bit here and there.  However, I am learning as I go, and I bring some good marketing sense to the table.
