WEEK FIVE ALTERNATE ASSIGNMENT
In addition the alternate assignment includes analyzing other pages similar to yours. Please look at the following pages and see if you can offer suggestions to their pages based on our lecture. (Ie, how is their cover photo? Is it positioned correctly? Do they use any custom apps? etc) Are they doing anything you like and you could tweak to make your own as a strategy on your page?

COMMENTS ABOUT OTHER FACEBOOK PAGES
HER NEXT CHAPTER (2,846 likes)
Lori Day, author of Her Next Chapter actually found me! from my (very outdated and to me, quite “unstellar” blog) and I talked with her several times so this is a meaningful page for me to analyze. She lives on the east coast and initially I was hopeful we could collaborate in some way but it did not work out. She does talk about Mother Daughter Book Clubs in Her Next Chapter but not in the detail that I have in my (unpublished) manual. What she does say, concurs with my thoughts almost exactly.
There are several concerns about her Facebook page:
1)The photo does not convey a clear message and in fact I think has a negative impact. Lori and her daughter look “disconnected” and her daughter appears to be bored and is not even facing the camera. There is no sense of the closeness of their relationship which is the crux of her message. I think she should have just used her book cover or a better photo of her and her daughter in which they appear close.
2)”About” section: She says she discusses various issues related to girls (media literacy, mother-daughter book clubs, etc.) but she doesn’t really explain what her business is. To me, that would not help sell her book or engage her for consulting or presentation “gigs.” It makes me think I need to go back and explain what my business is so that people know I am available or is that “bad manners” on Facebook?
3)Video: Her video talks a “bit” about Mother Daughter Book Clubs and a “bit” about how girls and boys are portrayed in the media...but there is not a cohesive message. Her daughter just sits next to the podium, looking a bit bored and uninvolved. Considering that they wrote the book together, I think she should have picked several ‘issues” and they could have addressed them together. It would have been a much better message. In addition, you can see that the audience is very small and there are empty chairs....not a good message. I think it would have been better if Lori and her daughter spoke without an audience. If I didn’t know her, this video would not have prompted me to explore her book or her message in greater depth.
4)Photos on the side...the one of her book, Twitter and 2000 likes support her business but I clicked on one of the others and I couldn’t find the post she was referring to and I don’t think associating with Steve Daniell helps her message....don’t know if one can take those off?
HOWEVER, THERE ARE MANY ARTICLES SHE POSTS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO REPOST OR COMMENT ON.....HOW CAN I DO THAT AND IS THAT PROPER ETIQUETTE?
MOMS WITH AWESOME DAUGHTERS (10,744 likes)
I feel neutral about this page...the banner photo is cute though it doesn’t really convey what the Facebook page is for....though the text does...it is just for fun....celebrating girls/daughters....There are no custom apps but it is interesting to see they have over 10,000 likes!
MIGHTY GIRL (988,455 likes)
I find this page a bit more engaging as it seems to not just be “preaching” but has a nice combination of information and subtle “calls to action” in the book reviews they do. It is clear that they have a business that sells products (I know it is toys, books and clothing) that supports their philosophy.
1)Banner photo...I like that the photo conveys what they are about...strong women...with their logo in the lower left....
2)There are no custom apps
3)I would also like to reuse and comment on their posts....I NEED HELP IN HOW TO DO THIS ACCORDING TO FACEBOOK ETIQUETTE.....
I WOULD SOMEHOW LIKE TO ASSOCIATE WITH THEM....
