Facebook is popular social Media with many of my
professional peers and clients. I am
very casual on my personal page so I don’t mind friending clients. I feel this allows us to connect both
personally and professionally through our various posts. From a business perspective, Facebook is an
excellent tool for advertising my learning modules. Since quite a few of my
Facebook “Friends” are clients, I can see adding links to my website and adding
a tease on Facebook with a link.
In order to keep “Friends” engaged, there would be several
things I could do. I think a daily posting
geared toward learning. Whether it be an
inspirational quote, quick tips and tricks on various products, the latest in learning
and technology trends and of course links to eLearning modules. I am a member
of several pages that are self-maintained.
I’m all about control when trying to get something off the ground but
think that over time, the page could be self-maintaining as folks feel more
comfortable sharing or posting learning related items. Anything is possible on social media, with
enough resources, I can envision a Facebook community where folks share their
learning content as well. Perhaps a “Share
It” day on a particular product, topic or resource. I could start a Lisa’s Learning Emporium Stamp
of Approval. If done right, the stamp of
approval would be incentive for folks to share fabulous and innovative content.
I know that in order for most of the things I do with my
organization to be successful, social media will play a role. There is so much potential
out there. As I said before, anything is
possible. If we create it, they will
come post right?
