Muchas gracias to El Vaquero Restaurants for sharing their Cinco de Mayo celebration…on ’365 Things to do in Columbus Ohio’ on Facebook  last Friday.   El Vaquero Mexican Restaurants  started a trend of Others sharing.  Thanks to El Vaquero Mexican Restaurants, Crimson Cup Coffee and Ender Wiggin for posting a ‘Thing to do in Columbus’ on the Facebook page this past weekend.  Things show up as “Recent Posts by Others” on the right side of the Facebook page:

Recent Posts by Others  

Usually when you look at most of the Recent Posts by Others … they are almost always shared by Maureen McCabe.  Usually because I shared them wrong at first, sharing them as me rather than as  the Facebook page.  When at first I don’t succeed I try, try again.  I am NOT a natural at Facebook…

I was thrilled with the  ‘Things to do’ shared by El Vaquero Mexican Restaurants, Crimson Cup Coffee and Ender Wiggins!

Rule(s) of thumb

Photos rule…  A photograph is almost always the best thing to reshare… on Facebook.  Computer generated graphics do not get as many views.  A photograph gets hundreds of views.  The tacky image posted on ’365 Things to do in Columbus Ohio’  got 18 views in almost 24 hours.  A photograph posted this weekend got over 300 in less time.

Putting the link to the business / organization / event link in the  box that say’s “Write something… “  is usually best to create traffic and answer questions about where and when.  I prefer a link to a website rather than a link to the Facebook page… If you share a Thing to do in Columbus Ohio on the Facebook page or any other right (post on your page or as an event and share to another page), you already have a link to your Facebook page.   Why NOT get people to your website where you have more information?   Unless you have duplicated your business’ website on Facebook your website has the answers to when and where that people are usually going to have about events and places (things to do are usually events and places.) I will reshare events on the Facebook page no matter how you share them and I do say thank you!  Thank you, Gracias to most of the Others… who shared “things to do in Columbus Ohio’ last weekend.
