The most powerful tool on the planet is ... you

Fight back against Facebook hiding YOUR favorite pages.

Do you know the most powerful tool any page owner has? What any site, author, business has in life? YOU and that big ol' mouth of yours.

Facebook loves to try to make page owners and alike PAY to allow you to see what you love most. So we're supposed to pay for your attention? How to fight against it? Use that big mouth you were born with and talk as you love to do. Facebook and their algorithms have nothing on you. YOU are the single most powerful tool anyone on this planet has. Yes, your one little self who you figure isn't so important? You are!

How can you do it? When your favorite (or one of) page posts something; use that "like" button, comment on things they post, post to their walls, and talk about the page to your friends. Share their items. All the analytics and algorithms in the world have absolutely nothing to do with you and can't stop you.

Add the pages you love most and want to SEE most, in an interest list which you can build by clicking on the page, hovering over the like box with your mouse, and then click on "add to interests list." Or, click on the gear icon to find it.

If you're a page owner, you can "add it to your pages favorites."

Hover over that "like" box and make sure it's checked to show in your news feed every day.

Visit the page every day, or as often as you can.

Remember, Facebook and all websites have nothing when it comes to WORD OF MOUTH which is the single most powerful tool. In other words, YOU. Without you, no company would survive.

Keep interacting as much as you can with them, even OFF Facebook. Do it for your favorite websites, authors, and anyone else. We all get busy (ie lazy ass) and just don't bother to open up and talk or click those likes and comment button, but that is what society and people are about. Socialization. Remember that these are people taking time every day trying to earn your attention and when people don't participate they figure their page/site/business is lacking, but it's up to you to say I AM HERE. KEEP IT UP. Show them love as they show you every time they place a product out for you.

Even if that product is them.

ETA: Interesting post about this and yes, I've noticed it on mine too. Fun is to look at your Facebook feed through a viewer like Tweetdeck, Hootsuite, or in my case, Plume for Android. It's a Twitter app. You SEE all those posts and it is astounding. http://dangerousminds.net/comments/facebook_i_want_my_friends_back

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's GBE is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me. That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even. She said: "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life." Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works. A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
