  • Hi, This is Avishek, got entry into this club and raring to go on the forums and the amazing thing you got here!

  • Greetings everyone. I am new here and I am looking forward to growing with you! I have been a facebook user for a while I have 10K fan base but with the recent changes it does not mean anything. Facebook has made it harder to keep post active.  Facebook is charging to reach your already list of fans. I am not happy since the changes I been affected as I am sure others are feeling the crunch. any advice on getting through it would be appreciated. 

    Happy to be here !

  • Good morning!

    My name is Ivanka, based in Brisbane – Australia,  and I started a new business that sells quality stable bedding for horses and organic / chemical free skin care products for horses… Last month which has a facebook page and I would love to learn from you all where I can improve my interaction with fans and turn them into loyal customers.

    Looking forward to meet lots of passionate business owners on facebook in this club!

  • Hi everyone. I’m new. Just started a small business, currently focused on helping people get on FB (big market) and small businesses set up an initial Facebook business page. I offer a few other services. I’m a natural at social media and engaging people so this feels right. I hope I can learn some great business tips here. 

  • Hi LaShonda, I’m a total idiot at social media and engaging people, so we are from different poles. Perhaps there’s a neutral point somewhere in between where we can start to communicate?

  • Hello Everyone,
    Since I am here, you already know that I am, as many of you are, new to this club, and I am looking forward to meeting, networking, and learning a lot from you about social media.
    I do, however, have one inquiry regarding private messages. I had tried to send private messages to my friends in the club, and received a message stating I was not friends with the person(s) I was sending the message to, therefore my message was not sent. If someone can assist me with this, I would appreciate it.
    Do have a productive day, and I thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

  • Hi, I have a registered name for my blog that I went through the paper work for several years ago.  It is: Waving or Drowning® .  that I just tried to claim it as a username for my Facebook page.  It is not available because someone else claimed it.  I know I have the “legal” right to the name, so am wondering how Facebook handles this or how I should proceed?  Any thoughts?  Ever encountered this issue before?  Thanks.

  • Hello Everyone,

    I am so glad to be part of this community.I graduated less than a year ago in online marketing and brand management and it is just amazing to see that how many things have changed since or are changing right now…I really feel like the knowledge I have gathered is getting out-of-date with the speed of light…so I really want to keep up-to-date and share thoughts and opinions with peers from the same area, so lets hit it!

  • Looking forward to sharing and learning in this club, been on FB for several years and really only started using it for business for about two years, hope to pick up some good ideas and share some too!

    Thanks for having me!

  • Hello everyone,

    I’m still quite new to Facebook, I started it April last year mainly for business purposes under my personal name, which I didn’t really like and so I opened another one under our language school’s name. It seemed right to add children that way who are, or were our learners rather than under my personal name.

    I started a business page this year too and am trying to learn the ropes as I go along so I’m all ears to great advice from everyone willing to give it.

    Look forward to interacting with you all.

    Thanks for everything :)

  • Hi Everyone,

    I am new here and already have a question, if you could help.

    Hi Andrea,
    I have just joined this amazing space and had a question:-
    I have just joined a company that has 14 Facebook pages. they organise and run mass participation events mainly in the UK consisting of runs, cycles etc. Because the, for example, runs are in different locations, they have gone with a different page for each area/event. My question was – would it be worthwile consolidating all the different “runs” pages into one or would you say keeping them as seperate events would work better?
    Any help would be great.
    ThanksEroll

  • hi, 

    i’m rita ;)

  • Hi Ladies and Gents….I am BRAND NEW to your Club.  My name is Glo Favreau and I am a Certified Coach Practitioner (CCP)….my niche is working with women’s issues and addictions.  Additionally, I offer coaching on wellness thru a 5,000 year old Chinese herb now available to us.  Frankly, I suck at marketing.  I have had a few Pages and not a whole lot of success in promoting them.  I have attended just about every Marketing webinar available and am so overwhelmed.  I am a boomerpreneur myself, going on 30yo:) 

    I hope to get a lot of information here and take my practice to the next level. 

    Good news is that I am teachable ~ BUT ~ I must warn you:  I AM A HUG-A-HOLIC:)  Looking forward to the journey.

  • Hello, Just started would like to have more people like my page.  Doing everything I can to get my new business of the ground!

  • Afternoon All,
    My name is Tom. I run the Riceplex global company. We market various lines of health promoting products.
    Our main sites are:
    http://www.Riceplex.com ( http://www.facebook.com/riceplex ),
    http://www.PoseidonHealth.com,
    http://www.HapaVir.com ( http://www.facebook.com/HapaVir ),
    and our new move into ‘hair’ at: http://www.facebook.com/PandPStylingProducts

    My greatest wish with FB is to be able to create pages more like true webpages easily. (Any thoughts on this would be appreciated). My webpages are not the most high-tech/fancy…partially due to many of my customers being somewhat older and their computers/os are not necessarily the latest/fastest.

    I am glad to have found this club, and look forward to interacting, learning and sharing with you all.

  • Hey everyone, I’ll give you a quick run down of who I am and what I do. My name is Christian T. I work for Right Start Mortgage as their Social Media marketer, and since this position is new, I’m looking for ways to expand myself. I try to spend at least 10 minutes on this page a day, but I’ve had some trouble with facebook, primarily because most of my friends aren’t ready to get mortgages yet, they’re all in college, so I need to try marketing to new people, any adds count. Scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours! lol nah I’m just looking to learn.

  • I’m not “new” just out of practice. My company has alotted me more time to focus on social media by shifting responsibilities within the department.

    I took the Blogging fundamentals for business and have been successfully executing the blog using videos and our enewsletter that goes out weekly. 

    Currently I’m working on our Facebook tabs and have a question, but have no idea how to post a topic in the Club lol. I’m so out of practice on here! Sorry guys, stupid question but can you help?

    Thanks,Kim
