15. SOME LAST WORDS OF ADVICE
• Attract “fans”. The more people that follow you & know your name, the
better. But the number of followers is not the end goal.
• Promote your content. Only 2 - 5% of your Facebook fans see your content.
• You don’t need a lot of money to get results. And you can target market.
• Shorter, concise content gets 17% more engagement. Don’t type huge
paragraphs. DON’T SHOUT EITHER.
• Just like listings, quality photos & videos get the most attention.
• Be creative & show your personality.
• Be timely in your response & accept negative feedback with grace.
