Taking the Plunge

Now, it’s time to officially set up your group. You don’t have to fear this process at all. You already have plans for what your group will be about. You just have to choose your group’s name and go ahead and set your group up with Facebook’s easy process.

One of the great benefits of Facebook is that it’s not technical at all. It should really only take minutes to get your group up and running. Don’t worry about this process… I promise you it’s not difficult.

World map SNS VectorMy Experiences Running a Facebook Group

I started running a Facebook group even though I had never done much with Facebook personally.

Simplification

Less is More Scale ConceptIt’s way too easy to let life get complicated these days. For as many advances as we’ve made in technology, health, and lifestyle, nothing seems to have gotten easier.

Pulcini Uccelli Blu Social Network-Blue Birds Social MediaTwitter is an exceptional social media platform. While Facebook is a lot more flexible and has a much bigger reach, Twitter’s nothing to sneeze at. It’s a way to express your business in 140 characters or less. It’s a way to spread the word about what you have to offer, to develop a following, to network with other marketers, and more.

Twitter is also becoming savvier when it comes to different types of content. For instance, now you can have video or an image in your update, which can gain more notice and be even more effective.

Twitter was really the first place where the #hashtag phenomenon took off. It started as a way to express yourself in a shorter space, but now it’s a way to connect topics and people with the same interests.
