Beyond that, be very careful who you listen to. I recommend making sure they have the expertise they say by<br />a) determining if they have a professional connection with Facebook, or<br />b) make their living as an expert in field of social media (they should have awards, recognition and facts to back up their business expertise), or<br />c) actually have the personal social media following to demonstrate they have put into practice successfully what they are recommending. <br />Blessings, EEdie Melsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902312441667526147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-44203148979944863092016-05-17T09:18:57.380-04:002016-05-17T09:18:57.380-04:00Yes, being paid for advertising by someone else an...Yes, being paid for advertising by someone else and sharing that on Facebook is a no-no, unless you own a verified page. But sharing things we think are valuable - such as a blog post, meme, or anything else falls that we're not paid for, is within the user guidelines. So those who use FB to share valuable info and give shout outs to friends aren't breaking any rules.

And when you do share something you're paid for, just add a hashtag, like several of the blog articles below suggest.

Even if an author pays to boost his/her page, the "likes" still fall off after a while. It's baffling why FB feels it has the right to remove "likes" just because a person hasn't interacted with the page for a while...Linda Lee Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220365594492856382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-18373099705273760382016-05-16T09:53:39.494-04:002016-05-16T09:53:39.494-04:00Thanks for this info, Edie.

I tried for a while to do conversation starters between book posts, and I had more response with the book posts. As much as we are told to share other people's info, I think maybe readers like an author's page because they want news about that author.Keely Brooke Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03723455370932045703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-92049927302727815622016-05-16T08:55:16.011-04:002016-05-16T08:55:16.011-04:00DiAnn, you are absolutely right!

It's one I made several years ago, but I've let it go by the wayside. Would you recommend me re-vamping it and updating the content? If so, what would your advice be on a way to do that?
