Rob shares how Facebook is the biggest social media platform, far bigger than Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. as well as how it has evolved over the years since it first came out. We talked about how the platform has matured and has become a very effective tool that one can use for both personal and business use. Rob also touched on the Facebook algorithm – how it works, weeds through the content of the users post to determines which ones are relevant. He also shared Facebook’s plans on improving the platform. We tackled how Facebook and any online platforms for that matter, are harvesting data about how you use the platform and this data creates a database which can be used by businesses very effectively. Rob talked about how Facebook can help you organically grow your audience without the use of Facebook ads by harnessing Facebook pages, and groups. Rob also shares the two primary methods of how his business is able to help others: Establish Brand Awareness – helping a client build his brand awareness (on Facebook) through organic method i.e. making use of pages and groups, and creating “interesting” contents. Using Facebook’s Paid Products – effectively using ads, etc. to reach new audiences.

Rob explains how Facebook Pixel fits into this. In today’s episode, we also get to hear Rob’s adventure when he was invited by Facebook to attend an event in Brussels recently. Lastly, we got Rob to give us three tips and techniques on how to grow our businesses on Facebook: Catch people’s attention with your content in three seconds or less! Make an impact in that short span of time. Video is King! Incorporate videos into your contents. Generate a Pixel! Even if you have no plans of running a paid Facebook advertising yet, be sure to generate Pixel, it helps you in harvesting data.
