25 Pieces of Advice You Need to Build an Awesome Facebook Page

During the last couple of months we’ve all read a steady stream of complaints about Facebook’s most recent changes and how they affect business Pages. Yet anyone who pays close attention to what’s happening at Facebook shouldn’t be terribly surprised.After all, as Scott Ayres over at Post Planner noted in a recent post,“Facebook was created for people — not businesses. Mark Zuckerberg’s intentions were never for businesses to rule Facebook. The social network was created to provide friends & family members better ways to stay in touch. Business pages were an after thought added after too many people were abusing their personal profiles by selling junk. ”He’s absolutely right, of course. But now what? No one (at least no one over here) is blaming Facebook for their decision to implement recent changes that affect businesses. This is life. Things change. Plenty of people are frustrated by the fact that we all got to use Facebook for free for so long and now all of a sudden we have to pay for advertising if we want our content to be seen by a wide audience.
