Caution, Weary Traveler
Facebook owns your content and your page. This means…
– They decide who sees your posts
– They decide if something is inappropriate
– They can remove your page without warning
What to do then?Make sure Facebook is not your only vehicle for marketing…
![Page 26: Social media-for-real-estate](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5555c326d8b42afe5d8b53d8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How do you create a Facebook page?
• It is best to have a personal page first. You can easily create a personal page from www.facebook.com
• Select any organization or business page in Facebook and you will see the button “create a page” in the upper right hand corner. Click on that button and follow the instructions…
![Page 27: Social media-for-real-estate](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5555c326d8b42afe5d8b53d8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What do you do first?
• Select a profile picture– Profile picture should be 120 pixels
square– Consider something catchy, visually
pleasing, and memorable– Shelburne Farms has used the same
photo for several years and it captures the nature of the farm…
• Select a cover photo– Cover photo should be about 800
pixels wide– Choose something that reflects the
esthetic of your company– You can add simple messaging to
your picture but make sure it is done well
