I did not join Facebook until a few months ago.I avoided it because I knew what it was, but could not think of any reason for me to use the service. Up until a few months ago, I could not think of anyone I wanted to reconnect with.
Then it happened. I was chatting about the past and things started coming up in conversation like “What ever happened to…”. You know those questions right? Well, Facebook can answer many of those questions, and open many more. So I joined, and “reconnected”.
I reconnected for a few weeks then got bored of it. Did not take long to burn through all my burning questions from days gone by. The fire died down, and now all I do is log in from time to time to mostly play the Facebook Apps. Love the movie trivia.
I had a new friend request today, so I logged in and did my thing. But before logging off, I clicked a link and was brought to a business sign up page. I knew there were bands, artists, and business etc on Facebook along with all the personal stuff, but I never thought about adding my own. I originally intended to keep Facebook personal, and not intertwine my business with it.
Now I realize I was an idiot. Facebook is wicked for personal stuff. But just as good for business marketing. Super simple to throw up a business page. In 15 minutes I had a page created with 3 of my portfolios added. Simple and a great way to reach more people with my work. Great idea.
Now I will be logging to Facebook more often, for more than a quick game.
