Hey…I know I don’t comment too much about social marketing…
…but there’s something happening that you need to know about.
As at Midnight Eastern Time (US time, that is) on June 12, Facebook are going to let you use a proper name to identify your home or profile page.
So instead of something weird and hard to remember, you can have…
http://www.Facebook.com/YourName
So, of course, you can use your own name or your business name.
BUT…in this virtual “land grab” it’s first come, first served.
So, if you haven’t already done so…
…might be a good idea to head on over to Facebook at…
http://www.facebook.com/username
…and “claim” your name or your business name.
UPDATE:
And this sort of thing is what you want to avoid with your name or business…
“Cybersquatters Move In On Facebook”
“Thousands of people have registered the names of celebrities, well-known companies, the royal family and politicians on the social networking website Facebook.”
Time to look ahead to July at events and holidays that can be used to build a marketing promotion around.
…”Master Class Home Study Course”.
I mentioned at the beginning of this exploration of marketing with Twitter that there are some quick and easy things you can do if you have a blog to tap into the “Twitter-sphere”.
…with the home study course that goes with them, will be released tomorrow (Wednesday June 10).
