Dealing with Facebook


blue and white logo guessing game

A few days I began to write about tackling Facebook and I was sent these links to Michael Hyatt’s blog where he articulates his similar frustrations with the blue and white monster.

No I hadn’t thought of it terms of a strategy but that’s pretty much what it amounts to. He decided to create a page for himself that people who wanted to ‘follow’ him on could do and then he had a facebook account for friends and family. Sensible strategy.

If, of course, you’re a CEO of an international publishing company with a turnover in the tens of millions (if not more) and more than 2000 people read your blog.

Slightly presumptuous if you lead a small/medium sized church in Shrewsbury and write a blog read by a few hundred here and there.

But I like the general idea – I’m just not sure how to do it without coming across as an arrogant, full of himself twit. Of course I could do that and no one would ‘like’ me, that would bring my monstrous ego crashing down! What do you think people?

  1. It’s something a lot of us have done as Beauty Bloggers. People want to connect to you through Facebook, but I didn’t like agreeing to be friends with people I don’t know. It provides a different way for people who don’t do Blogs to read your posts (networked blogs). Makes sense to me. HTH Will read the links later.

    1. Blogs about beauty, you know I’ve never looked at those. A whole new world has just opened up! Thanks guys for your positive comments

  2. Seen that model used by lots of bloggers. I don’t think it is arrogant at all.
