How To Optimise Your Facebook Timeline Cover Image…

Facebook timeline wants you to go visual!

Facebook timeline cover | Hubsite Builder

Photos, images and videos now take centre stage on your Facebook business page – that seems to be the main idea behind Facebook’s introduction of the new format for business pages. And just in case you hadn’t noticed – you don’t have a choice! It’s Facebook’s way or nothing!

Timeline wants you to tell your business’s story

The concept and implementation of a time line encourages business owners to tell the story of their business from start up to the present – and to tell it very visually. If you take on this challenge the result should be a much more engaging page for your visitors.

Boost your branding with a sparkling new timeline cover

Your new timeline cover image will almost hit your visitors in the face when they arrive at your page; failure to provide a new cover image will also be the very first thing they can’t miss seeing! This new image is so large that it provides a fantastic opportunity for branding. But facebook has some VERY STRICT RULES for cover images.

Facebook’s Timeline cover image rules

  • NO price or purchase info
  • NO contact info
  • NO calls to action

Social Networking – about people, not numbers…

Ah, social media – can’t manage your time with it and can’t grow your business without it?
To me, the word ‘social’ seems redundant in the phrase ’social networking’. If networking isn’t social what the heck is it? Online networking for business has the same purpose and function as offline business networking, don’t you think? Here’s some social networking info and opinion for you to ponder or put into practice next week – or today.

Video – Coach Deb Answers: Why Bother With Social Media?

Coach Deb predicted social media trends ten years ago!

My clients, especially those “of a certain age” often express frustration about using social media (social networking), and ask “Why bother?” so when I met up with Coach Deb, a globally recognised authority on the subject, in Sydney recently, I was absolutely delighted when she generously answered that question in this exclusive video interview.

Video (3 min 12 sec) Coach Deb answers: why bother with social media?

Here’s some of what Coach Deb revealed:

  • 80% of people who buy online belong to a certain group
  • That same group of people use social media to share their recommendations with each other
  • Business owners who use social media will capture the attention of that group while their competitors flounder

Coach Deb co-created the software we use to build our clients’ websites!

I know that Coach Deb knows what she’s talking about, because four years ago I started using the software that she developed, to build my own website. It gained high search engine ranking so rapidly that my business coaching clients started asking me to build websites for them, and so HubSite Builder was born!

The proprietary software boasts integrated organic search engine optimization, and several automated methods of integrating your website and your social media profiles, saving you over 40 hours per month when compared to other systems.

Give our office a call to find out how HubSite Builder’s system can save you 40 hours each month while you boost your social media presence – (02) 9686 4257.
