Let's Talk About Facebook

 

I know social media can be frustrating (among other things), but I believe it can be a positive experience if used correctly. I think it’s great for businesses, authors, bloggers, realtors, etc., but also for people looking to connect with friends and family they don’t see often. I use a few different platforms, but today I am going to talk about Facebook.

I’ve heard this a lot through the years: “Ugh, Facebook sucks” or “I hate Facebook.” Yeah, it can be frustrating for sure. However… it is a good platform to use.

Facebook has been an amazing source for me to keep in touch with friends and family and reconnect with those I went to school with or used to work with. I love watching my friends' and family members' children grow up—school pictures, sports pictures, events, etc. I love that I am still close with many of my former classmates from school.

Facebook is also great for finding local events or creating your own. A group I follow called 315 Foodies had an event this past weekend that my husband and I attended with friends of ours. Several people I went to school with were there, and it was great to reconnect in person.

I’m also in many groups where I can promote my published books and my publishing business, Get It Write Publishing. In fact, I got my very first editing job through Facebook. I have a FB page for my books/blogs (click here to visit) and my publishing business (click here). FB is a great place for authors to set up a page and promote their books.

So, you see? If used properly, Facebook can really be a good social media platform.
