8 Ways to Beat Facebook's Algorithm and Keep Your Consumers Engaged. Facebook has been evolving and if you ask the average small business owner, not all Facebook change is good change. When a platform's technology is beyond your control, how do you adapt your business strategy to keep up? I asked eight startup founders from Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) how they have improved Facebook engagement, even in spite of recent algorithm changes that had some business owners running to other platforms.

No matter what the algorithm is, great content will always rise to the top. 3. Our focus on any social network has always been about real engagement instead of vanity metrics. 4. We are definitely getting less natural engagement, but we've done a few things to offset it. 5. Social media is fickle yet necessary, but diversification is even more so. 6. 7. Facebook is changing the way we consume media. 8. No sweat. Scott Gerber. How I learned what I didn’t know I already knew about #Facebook from @HotLou by @LinkedInDiva. The question in the crowded room was “Why is Hot Lou called ‘Hot Lou’?” …until he opened his mouth and started describing how he (with a college degree in computer science and math) made thousands of Facebook pages incredibly successful through learning how to engage people and then scale. Yes, ‘Hot Lou’ is the mastermind behind the first ecommerce page on Facebook (1-800-Flowers); creator of the Ultimate Frizbee page with 150,000 fans (most in the US and the country of Columbia); and, manager of the immensely popular Twig the Fairy page with more than 271,000 likes.

(Twig is actually a human dressed as a fairy who works regional Renaissance fairs around the country. But now she’s got her own product line inspired by the popularity of her Facebook posts!) What I discovered what I already knew about Facebook, as Lou shared his insights and inspired us with stories of his success was simple: Authentic Engagement. Wow. Author: Lori Ruff (176 Posts)

Or are you overwhelmed with all of the Facebook tactics you read about? No matter how long you’ve had a Facebook page, it’s good to review some of the basics for creating a page for your business. This article includes six simple tips that will make you a more effective admin and make your page more professional starting today. #1: Check Your Wall-posting Preferences Does your page get a lot of, ahem, critical commentary on its timeline?

Or maybe just more than you have time to deal with easily? If so, it might be time to set your page’s Posting Ability tab so that only your page admins can post. Here’s how: Choose Edit Page from your Admin panel. You can add/remove admins directly from the Admin panel.

You can adjust the posting ability to fit your page’s needs. How to Make Your Facebook Marketing Work for B2B. Do you target other businesses? Are you struggling to generate more Facebook engagement? Facebook marketing can work well for B2B companies, but you may have to rethink how you use your Facebook page.

In this article you’ll discover four tips that can help you make Facebook work for your B2B company or client. #1: Understand Your Audience It’s important to recognize that your audience on Facebook may not be the same as your audience on LinkedIn. Knowing your audience—what resonates with them and what their expectations are—is always your first step to success. So how do you find out who your Facebook audience is?

Facebook Insights tracks how your audience engages with your page. Facebook Insights offers a range of audience data. If you’re using Google Analytics, I recommend upgrading to Universal Analytics so you can use the affinity categories data. Inside Google Analytics click on Admin to upgrade to Universal Analytics. The best data of all, though, is the data you already have.
