……..
I don’t even know how to respond to that….
It’s terrible lol
Omg yes I saw that. Insane.
Yes! It’s absolutely disgusting and STUPID!!
Urghh
Like vodka shots to the eyeball. Yeah kids. That sounds greaaaaat
Whaaaaat…?
Erin Michael Miller Oh yeah! There have been a few vodka ones that are just crazy!
I haven’t seen that one, maybe not in the UK yet
I feel like a dozen people decide to do something ridiculous, then it goes viral and everyone uses it to prove millenials are stupid.
What?!
So weird
I looked at it today 😊

Hi Sarah!
How annoying, or the ones you can’t figure out how to close…
I wouldn’t be staying on there for long 🙈

It’s on their mobile site too. And it makes everything jiggle and the video thumbnails shift around. So weird!
Terrible! lol 🙈
Terrible! lol
It’s not our space and can be taken away
I have 2 sites for my different businesses
Good advice. Don’t let Facebook own all your content!
Also, contrary to popular belief, not everyone is on FB.
Yep. It’s why I had to go to the gram.
Micki Webb, Special Education Consultant Ooh, tell me about that! I’ve been wondering if I should create an Instagram account. I need for it to be a way to effectively reach and engage with people; not a time suck. How’s it working for you?
Erin Michael Miller exactly — not everyone is on FB!
Micki Webb that’s why I want to step up my IG game.
Erin Michael Miller It’s definitely not a time suck because I mostly post and move on. I’m still a Facie at heart. But I do love that the gram lets me post there and hit a button to copy it to Twitter and FB!! Winner winner save time dinner!! Howevah, sometimes the post of pictures is cropped off weirdly for no apparent reason when I post directly from camera to IG as opposed to opening IG and letting it access the camera. 😏 Also I get a lot more action on IG but I’ve no idea who these people are!! 😳 Some I’ve blocked when I peeped their gram…ummm…just say no to gang members, apparent satan worshippers and just some very shady looking pages. 😂 But that’s only been a few.

Yes exactly ed.
It looks like the notes section, they just repackaged it
Medium
Mine has been like that a while now
Hey cool! I have that and had no idea I could add links and photos!
Oh sweet! 😉
It’s great for following specific content. I follow a lot of UX pros there.
I use that too 😊
I use that too
I don’t quite get it…
It’s like an About section or place to put a bio. But I’d use it to tell your story and not just the boring bio.
I put my members winners badge on mine every week and their page link etc
People want to know you in order to do business with you
Is that the same for products too? Do they go to the about section before the shop?
I do for specialty products like organic foods, candles, jewelry, etc. I wanna see a story that makes me want to buy from this particular company.
Micki thank you. I have an about section with my story on but I thought most people decide to buy very quickly 😊
Micki thank you. I have an about section with my story on but I thought most people decide to buy very quickly
I usually just shop
Ah yes that’s true
Not unless it’s some kind of new product or they have a mission/story tied to the product. Then I’ll read it, but they should put a short version on their home pages.
Thank you Mindy
I have my story on my about section
What does it look like on the phone
How to do it on your mobile?
I like it. I’m glad it’s not hidden like the tabs are
Perfectly describes your business!
Can you update it on good mobile?
Your not good 🙈
Your not good
that’s not good…
What is the image size for desktop and mobile for the cover image?
I’ll need to make a template in Canva 🙂
I use the canva template too
I already don’t want to do this much work. 🤣🤣🤣
I already don’t want to do this much work.
Right?!
And, they constantly change the sizes so Canva can’t keep up…
I use an unpublished page to test the cover graphics before I upload lol
Oh there you go! 😉
That’s awful Ed
You can do that online with SEO can’t you?
Hahaha!! Unfortunately I feel like I’m doing that right now
If you build it, they will come!

There’s always a lot to do, my list grows all the time
And sometimes it’s hard to figure out the right work to do first… I was doing it all wrong for too long.
Love that you brought that up!
True Mindy, I was a busy fool until I found Ed 😊

Yasss Mindy! Priorities ever changing!
Yes Mindy! That’s one reason why I created a program in business- bc clients so often just need to know what to focus on when.

Micki Webb, Special Education Consultant I’ve been in a quandary about the “right” coaching person/program. But I’ve also been listening to the audiobook “You’re a Badass at Making Money,” and I’m starting to view my quandary as an excuse.

I agree Micki
Hey Ed! It’s a great day visiting the fam in Nevada!
Oh cool! Say hi for me! 🙂
Chrissie Absolutely, it’s the same for products. Everyone wants to be part of the experience, you should have two great stories. Your “backstory”…or behind the scene story. And even better if you have a great “pay it forward” story, how does your brand help others. Both types of stories, can be contained within your “About” page. I think that the ‘story’ section of your business does two things. It helps to differentiate your brand from everyone else. Only you have your story. And it gets your customers involved in your story. Which gives them a story to tell to their friends, and that potentially gets you more customers.
Wow thank you Tammy. I do have my story which I my why and does include how my brand helps others but I think I can elaborate much more on that. 😊
