jaybyrd 3,770 Posted November 12, 2014 I get sales off fb all the time. I finally paid to boost one of my posts this week and it reached 6000 people, added 40 likes and sold at least 3 jobs. Best $20 I've ever spent on advertising. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moody Blue 505 Posted November 12, 2014 Wow, this was a very informative thread! Do you guys think having a FB page brings you in some business Thanks Absolutely! 95% of my sales come from facebook or Instagram. Social media is a great and not to mention free way to advertise and promote work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lablover 218 Posted November 12, 2014 So I assume you can have a separate Business FB page from your personal page. I need to check into this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted November 12, 2014 I HAVE to have a separate page after FB said I either convert it to a business page or they would kindly delete it for me. I think somebody ratted me out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurberSigns 24 Posted November 12, 2014 https://www.facebook.com/jayplacesc but I run my business on a personal page so it may not help. What kind of post did you create when you boosted it? And what age range/interests did you target towards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moody Blue 505 Posted November 12, 2014 So I assume you can have a separate Business FB page from your personal page. I need to check into this. Yes once you log in to FB you can opt to create a page. I downloaded an app for my phone/ipad called Facebook Pages Manager that I can upload photos, post, and answer messages from. Also Instagram is a great place to show off work. I have almost 1000 followers on FB and over 500 on Instagram...i upload a picture to instagram and #hashtag it with relevant tags and these also automatically upload on my FB page as well. Kills two birds with one stone and reaches more than just your followers as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted November 12, 2014 What kind of post did you create when you boosted it? And what age range/interests did you target towards? Just boosted a post I already made. It went to friends and friends of friends. Basically everybody who liked Jay's Place had their friends get it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

express2100 154 Posted November 12, 2014 I have always been anti FB and do not have an account but I have always recognized it as a great marketing tool. Now that I am looking into joining for the business side I have some questions for you FB vets. 1- Can you give me a quick run down of how it works from post to final sale? 2- Do you need to like every Joe Shmoe who visits? 3- How do you handle riffraff and negative users?

express2100 154 Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks MB I was just checking out your page. Nice work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moody Blue 505 Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks MB I was just checking out your page. Nice work! Thanks I do most of my work through FB. I get new followers daily and it always results in more business for me. I love the free advertising and freedom of posting what I want when I want. It helps with custom orders since you can showcase the work and others will use that as an example to come to you with ideas for their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
express2100 154 Posted November 12, 2014 Can I set up a business only page? I signed up but see no settings for personal or business. I do see that I can create a page for business but do I need to keep my personal page? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moody Blue 505 Posted November 12, 2014 Can I set up a business only page? I signed up but see no settings for personal or business. I do see that I can create a page for business but do I need to keep my personal page? You will have to keep your personal page just for linking reasons. If you long on (on a computer) look on the left hand side where it says "pages" and hover over that until you see "more". Once clicked it will give you the option to create your business page.
