When done right Facebook can bring you great success in gaining Friends and potential clients. Here are some simple tactics to help you succeed:

Facebook Tactics for Successful Results:

• Post before noon:
• Set aside a specific amount of time each day for social media.
• Aim for 30 minutes a day and, if possible, schedule it before noon.
• Generally, posting early in the day will get more exposure than posting in the evening.
• If you achieve your goals before the allotted time is up, use the extra time to explore and learn about what other people in the industry are saying and doing with their social media strategies, and interact with your network of customers and potential customers.

Friday posts generate more traffic and greater engagement:

As Facebook continues to over-populate at an extraordinary rate, so it’s becoming harder to get people’s attention in amongst all the noise.
So is there a good, better and best time to post on this social media giant’s message boards and more to the point are some things better to post than others?
In my opinion there’s probably no one answer to either of the above questions. Surely it must depend on who’s doing the posting?
Be that as it may, a study by social media management company, Vitrue has found that how much attention your Facebook posts receive is dependent on what you post and when you posted it.
Just to put this into perspective, the report analyzed posts on more than 100 randomly selected accounts representing 42.6 million Facebook fans and 32 000 posts.

Here are some of the findings:
Posts published on Fridays get the most attention while weekend updates get the least.
Attention increases by 65% if the post is made before noon.
A photo will get 22% more likes and comments than a video and 54% more than a text only update.

If you want to connect with the fans on your Facebook page, post on Friday morning and use a picture. Those are the three elements that scored highest for fan engagement in the new study by Virtue.

Post 40% of your blog and 60% of other websites:

Don’t send out more than 40% of your content marketing yourself. People are easily put of buy this. Content is king and by providing great content other than ones’ self, people generally will be more accepting of your own content. We don’t read eBooks and magazines that only have stories about the staff and there promotional products and strategies. We keep buying them and reading them because of the other news content. This content draws us to them and that is when we notice the in-house products.
