The Facebook Business Page experiment
Paul Rovers (www.leveragedsolutions.ca) has been educating my thick skull on the various ways to make small steps towards social media. He’s run some Google Adwords campaigns to show me how it works and suggested last week that I set up a business page for Ghost CEO. It seems only the local coaches are doing anything with social media and so I wondered if we would get any fans. I’ve seen these business pages and fan pages with two or three fans. It’s like showing someone your dating calendar with ‘date with cat’ highlighted each weekend.
Rather than be a Luddite, I thought, WTF, let’s see what happens. We have lots of contacts (many are on Facebook, many not), lots of partners, and we blog in lots of places. Why not, at least, have a place where we can all dump ideas, tools, pictures, etc. of the work we do or the things that keep our attention. It took me a few minutes to set up, we’ll see how it goes, and we (I) will try to regularly post things that are interesting outside of our group. We might do some free session giveaways, free registrations to seminars/ keynotes, some internal tools, shit I don’t know. If anyone has ideas, I’m open to it. No, I won’t buy you a pony, name a rainbow after you or let you take a picture of me wearing a Ergo Baby Carrier. Let’s see if Facebook Business is a place where people can come together other than to post drunk pictures, pick mafia wars, or tell people they are sitting in an airport.
If you have the time, and are interested, ‘friend’ Ghost CEO on facebook. It’s better than me dating my cat, and I don’t even have a cat. Regardless, we can collectively laugh at my success or failure as I try to execute this foreign territory for a guy who has built his life and career face to face with people.
Cheers,
