Ok, so most of us bloggers have our social media outlets including a Facebook page. Unless you've been under a rock for the last 6 months, you'll have seen that Facebook are about to implement some changes to the way it's users see business/fan pages.
In a nutshell, if you don't pay to advertise your page/posts then you'll just not get seen. Even by people who like your page. Apparently, they've not finalised their actual plan but it looks likely that your newsfeed will prioritise friend's updates and paid for posts (boosts/sponsored content etc) and everything else will go on to a separate tab that your followers have to click on in order to see anything.
So, have you got a plan drafted to save your organic FB reach? Are you going to boost your posts, pay to advertise your page? Are you going to put your time into a different platform such as Twitter? Will you just let your FB traffic die?
Personally, I'm not sure. I'll continue to post to my page because at the end of the day it's a few extra clicks on my scheduling site. One suggestion has been to make a Facebook Group and just share everything to there too as there is no plans to silence the groups so all your members will see each post. But part of me is wondering if that is going to be overkill for my readers...but then again, if they're not seeing my page then they'll only see my posts once anyhoo...
What are your thoughts?
