Week 6: Facebook Strategy, Businesses to "Like"

I am feeling GREAT as initially I had difficulty seeing the pages I "liked."  However, I realized I had "liked" them under my personal Facebook account, not my business account.  I solved the problem…always (to me) a sign of LEARNING!

I had been waiting to begin anything until all was perfect, had a website and was writing on my Facebook regularly but after talking with Angela, I am just going to start making some connections even as I develop my business.

I chose the following Facebook Pages to like…they are either ones which will give me ideas to talk about in a post or have a following that could be my target market.  My "featured likes" are the ones where my target market may be rather than the pages where I may comment about content.

They are:
Her Next Chapter: This is the title of a book authored by Lori Day.  She does discuss how Mother Daughter Book Clubs are good antidotes to the way girls are portrayed in the media. This is mainly what she comments about.  She actually contacted me last summer as a result of my "blog."  I put "blog" in quotes as it was and is in its infancy.  I will be able to share and comment on many of her posts.

A Mighty Girl: This is a website that promotes toys, games, clothes and books that convey a message of "take charge" for girls.  They have a great suggested list of books….maybe I can affiliate with them someday?

Blue Balliett: She is an award winning children's author.  When I organized my "Chicago Comes Alive" trip, her book was one of the selections.  The parents of the kids who read her books could be of my demographic.  THIS IS A FEATURED LIKE

Huffington Post: (merged with Huffington Post Parent). I came across a wonderful article written by a woman who is doing a Book Club with her daughter.  I will comment on the content but seeing her article made me realize that the readership could be part of my target market.

Brain Child Magazine: I saw a post they wrote about reading…made me think their readership could be part of my demographic.  In addition, I think I will find content to share and comment on.

Shutterfly: Again as I think parents taking lots of pictures have kids in the age group Mother Daughter Literary Journey is targeting.  THIS IS A FEATURED LIKE

Wright 3: This is the Blue Ballett book that was part of the "Chicago Comes Alive" trip.  I believe that parents/kids reading any media by Blue Ballett could be interested in Mother Daughter Book Clubs.
THIS IS A FEATURED LIKE

As I think about it, I will probably change the "featured likes" and maybe add my "content" ones too.
