How To Build A Community On Facebook
By Krishna De
Did you hear the news? Yesterday Facebook announced that now some 500 million people are actively using Facebook from across the globe.

I recently noticed a post from Jeremiah Owyang asking the readers of his blog for their input on Facebook marketing best practice.

Here is the feedback I shared:

1. Understand the online habits of your community - identify when your community are online so that you can time your Facebook update so that it has a chance to appear when they log on in their feed on their home page without too much scrolling. This simple online visibility tip could increase the possibility of them engaging with your update

2. Manage the frequency of posting - Take care not to publish content too frequently to your Facebook Page - if all people can see on their Facebook home page feed is your updates not their friends they may 'unlike' your Facebook Page or hide your feed

3. Don't forget to promote your Page - When starting a Facebook Page we have found that also investing in engagement ads (on the home page of Facebook) has assisted in increasing the visibility and number of people joining your community quickly

4. Post relevant refreshing content - Keep your competitions relevant to the community on your Facebook Page. This may seem obvious but it is often overlooked. Your competition does not have to be for something that has an expensive price tag - but it is something valued by your community. Note - if you are hosting a competition or give way, make sure you comply with the guidelines for promotions and competitions (there are many brands who don't and risk their Facebook Page being deleted)

The Necessary Phases For Teams To Deliver Results
That's quite a mouthful I know. This concept was recently introduced to me by Gil Yehuda via email and was originally developed by Bruce Tuckman (in the 1960's) who believed that these were all necessary phases for teams to go through in order for them to grow and deliver results (and to overcome challenges, tackle problems, find solutions, and to plan work). Looking back on my experiences working with teams and running Chess Media Group with Connie, I definitely find the phases to hold true. These teams phases can be applied...
