I no longer worry about the like count. It’s also key to respond to every individual response to a post not just a blanket thanks everyone
Exactly! We are not about like for like around here lol. It’s about the engagement š
Exactly! engage back and acknowledge their input into your business
How effective are hashtags on FB? Do you know, Ed? I see them on FB a lot, of course, but I feel theyāre more useful on IG & Twitter …. has that changed?
Such a great question and I’m glad we were able to answer this on live. I’d be curious what others find out and might share here around this š¤
Ed, yes, for sure! But I def see the point of using only one or two! I will do that going forward. Cleaner and if you keep using the same one thatās āexclusiveā to your biz, it becomes more recognized. Like your #EdTalkTV one ….š¤š¤š¤
Erica I heard they are not effective
Great question, Erica!
I generally use hashtags just for comedic effect.
I think 2 – 3 are ok
Thatās what I was wondering … started to use hashtags more on my biz page, but not sure how effective they are ….
Yeah, I think on Facebook it’s really just an extra tool for you to be able to direct people and fun for your audience š
Don’t use them on fb
#imbackEd
Love it! So glad to see you! š
I bury them, tho, to be honest … cause they feel clunky here
That’s the conversation in a lot of groups. I’m planning on teaching it on my talk show on Monday. Thanks Ed!A recent Facebook research didn’t recommend hashtags for SEO purposes
Oh cool! And now when you say SEO purposes can you expand a bit more on that? Since it’s not for your website I wouldn’t have thought of SEO. That would be interesting though!
Ed Troxell Creative Sorry. I should have said ‘for increasing content visibility.’ Social media malapropism! Who would have thought?! Check out #24 @ https://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/26-tips-for-better-facebook-page-engagement/
I’ve also heard you should put prices in comments and not on posts but not sure if that has any benefit. Also not to use the word sale in posts as fb algorithms pick it up and reduce your reach
Yeah, that can be a trigger and I’m glad we got to this during the live š
Right … Iāve been doing those same 30 from IG
Hey Peeps…sorry I’m late. LOL
Thatās why I bury them, haha
Pick 1 and run with it š
Cleaner …
#EdMicDrop…Boom
I like that!
When I do market night evens we use a single hashtag to check everyone taking part is sharing the event
That’s awesome! Yeah, having 1 main hashtag just for fun I think is ok.
Yes, makes sense
Yes perfect sense
I might try that
Facebook doesn’t recommend
Ok, no more 30 … ššš
Ok, no more 30 …
Hey all! Client call, so Iām late. š

I’ve started sending a personal Birthday Card Image Post for those people who are following me…get engaged.
Tammy have you had feedback on how they feel about that. Do you send it from your business or personal account?
What a great idea!
Vicki Smith I think you have to send it from your personal account. It’s more about engagement than it is about business. People thank me all the time for thinking of them. It’s just like you would send a card in the mail to a friend. I put a sample in this post. I do have a lot of people who follow me on my page, so I was looking for a way to engage on a regular basis without being all business…which FB discourages anyway. It’s a win…win. And it’s another touch point with me.
Vicki SmithHere so you don’t have to search
Vicki Smith Great follow up question!
Tammy Fink that’s cool! Thank you for showing us a sample š
Tammy Fink thank you so much. That’s really useful. I just wandered how people felt about it.
Thanks Tammy!
Anytime.
Perhaps all the buttons need to go then?
Tammy how do you do that?
āEngagement, engagement, engagementā is the new ālocation, location, locationā šššššš

Client call went well! Helping a speech and language pathologist with a case. Next session scheduled! Yaaay!
I hate the angry button it makes me angry š¤£š¤£
Yeah, it’s really hard to read right? lol
Yes and if you are angry/aggressive then I don’t need you in my life!
Vicki Smith exactly! š

The like button is like the online version of a head nod. āSup.ā š¤£

Yessss! Speak up! Ooooh thatās good Erica!!
@vickysmith Go to events on your FB Page, then click birthdays…it shows all the birthdays for that day. I then go to their page, and post a photo image that I created…you could create it in Canva. PM me if you need help.
Get in contact with them Ed quick!
Thank you Tammy xx

Also Ed, you taught us your expectation that we engage here. Iām trying to model that on my lives.
Woohooo
Ooo intel, lol
Yes, right? ASK for the engagement!
Exactly! Just ask š
Hey Ed…I would love for you to do something on the WordPress.org vs. .com conversation…you mentioned it last night.
Yes, that is something we need to talk about soon! šš¼
Yes, that is something we need to talk about soon!
Ooooo goo Micki! I need to do that!
I didn’t know how to engage when I first started on Facebook. That’s why I teach it.
It’s all about teaching what you know right? š
Homework!! š£
Easy homework though right? š
Yep can do that one and no detention
Vicki Smith š
Homework!!
Vicki Smith
You better rest for real, Ed! Lol
Yes can do that
HAve a few beers
I love this suggestion, Ed. I think it will create more significant connections and prevent mindless scrolling.
That hour went so fast
Time flys when you’re having fun right? š

Thanks to you Ed I’ve moved on to GIF s
I had lasagne lol
Here is an example: (and if you friend me, I’ll send you one too…LOL)
It’s unique and personal at the same time. It’s not branded, but signed just like you would do with a “real” card.
Just got back from vacation in December…ready to go again. LOL

No I havenāt heard of that one
Oh I love that
The Gifs are great
No thatās worthless, you want an audience that wants to interact and engage. No point following someone if you donāt get anything from it
No point at all
I donāt really do Instagram
Yes valuable content is key
Yes they want us to engage with each other too
The after party is the most important part. I have done this for a long time now
Yep thatās how it works š I have had pages talk to me about how their reach and interaction has deteriorated since the algorithm

I donāt know much about those
No I donāt use a hashtag on facebook
š and any reason why you havenāt? Just curious if itās because youāve heard not to or maybe you just didnāt think of it?

Chrissie Lowery thatās what I figured but wanted to double check
Ed I hope you are chilling out
Chrissie Lowery I am thank you!
Ed I heard they arenāt picked up by algorithms so they arenāt useful whilst posting on Facebook unless you are searching for something.

So with LL Beans policy – you could return anything and get replacement, no receipt needed. So people would go to yard sales and thrift stores, try to find old ll bean stuff, then try and exchange it, then sell the new item on eBay
Thatās so crazy! š
