<p>I resisted as long as I could…<br />
When Facebook first came out and started getting popular, I knew it would be an excellent tool for growing my business… but, I resisted &#8211; oh, I kicked and screamed… and I decided to keep my Facebook strictly for personal use. {Sorry if you have tried to &#8216;friend&#8217; me and I&#8217;ve ignored your request &#8211; nothing personal!}</p>
<p>But, as the years went by… I saw even better ways for how to use Facebook to grow a business. In fact, about three years ago I started helping offline businesses build an internet presence through Facebook. I&#8217;ve researched, studied, tested… and learned quite a bit along the way…</p>
<p>But, I still resisted.<br />
I didn&#8217;t want another &#8216;thing&#8217; to &#8216;have to&#8217; manage.<br />
Can you relate?</p>
<p>Something changed last year. When I was putting together the Holiday Toy Guide I recognized a huge value in creating a community for Christmas toy sellers using the private page feature Facebook offers. It was a great success… and, quite frankly, has been an even bigger success this year!</p>
<p>I have spent the last year focusing more and more on Facebook and have finally come to the realization that it isn&#8217;t just another &#8216;thing&#8217; I have to do with my business… but, it is a very useful tool. In fact, it is so useful that it not only has helped build community in the different niches I have worked in with Facebook pages &#8211; but, it has been a time saver!</p>
<p>So… I gave in.<br />
Today I created a Facebook Page for my Online Creativity newsletter and resources.</p>
<p>I would love to have you follow along!<br />
You can go here and like the page &#8211; and I promise some fun goodies when we reach certain milestones (ie., the more likes, the more goodies and give-aways on the page!)</p>{"id":448,"date":"2013-11-21T02:43:40","date_gmt":"2013-11-21T10:43:40","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/jennihunt.com\/blog\/?p=448"},"modified":"2013-11-21T02:43:40","modified_gmt":"2013-11-21T10:43:40","slug":"id-love-to-meet-you-on-facebook","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/jennihunt.com\/blog\/id-love-to-meet-you-on-facebook\/","title":{"rendered":"I&#8217;d love to &#8216;meet&#8217; you on Facebook!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I resisted as long as I could\u2026<br \/>\nWhen Facebook first came out and started getting popular, I knew it would be an excellent tool for growing my business\u2026 but, I resisted &#8211; oh, I kicked and screamed\u2026 and I decided to keep my Facebook strictly for personal use. {Sorry if you have tried to &#8216;friend&#8217; me and I&#8217;ve ignored your request &#8211; nothing personal!}<\/p>\n<p>But, as the years went by\u2026 I saw even better ways for how to use Facebook to grow a business.
