Canada Day

With all the changes on facebook, it has been hard to reach the fans that I did prior to the timeline takeover. They claim the more active you are on a page, you will receive updates on a regular basis. After experimenting, I found this was not the case. I know I do not see posts from pages I am active on daily and ones that I am rarely on, I see updates. I have also had friends and clients advise me that they do have not seen posts from me for a good couple weeks at a time. I also noticed that if I make a post, not related to my page, it gets seen 10x more than a post I make that is related to my page. I feel that facebook is purposely "hiding" our posts in an attempt to lure us into paying so our posts can be seen. This is very frustrating as a small business owner, however, there is not much we can do -  I am not going to loose any sleep over it.

Anyways ~ for those of you that saw the Canada Day Post and Share and did share, thank you so very much ! I did not reach the share goal I had set out for but as promised would still like to do something for those of you that did share. (I had a few clients advise me that the post was just showing up in their news feed on July 8)
