re: Facebook is changing the rules for pages.

Good morning everyone I love reading all your different ideas. June has hit the nail on the head about Pinterest it’s a great referral platform.

As for free shopfronts blogs are free too. Google owned blogger.com is free and you can set up some paid adds on your blog… what? Get paid to have a free blog? Yes that’s right.

G+ has Hangouts which is a much more interactive inbox – video calls, live interactive chats. I actually met some of my closest cake friends on g+ not facebook – so again I think it’s just how you use it.

I can’t keep repeating myself about having a google business page – being searchable on google and a map with your contact details up the top – in my books that’s a true shop front and still FREE.

I think Facebook will still have a place – more to keep your personal connections up but for cake paging I am definitely going to be spending more time here and on g+. Fb is just going to take a lower seat like Twitter currently does for me. My top platforms in my goal are 1) blog 2) google+ 3) CD 4) Pinterest 5) everything else – which I will probably do the Instagram to fb page share so I won’t actually have to log on to my page as frequently as I am ridiculously doing at the moment.

If Facebook are going to hide me even more come January why would I continue tryingto flog a dead horse (reach) when I have so many other platforms to use.

Does anyone remember Myspace or Bebo? People thought they couldn’t live without them once also.
