As you know from my last post about blogs vs. Facebook, my strong belief and advice to anyone in business is to use your blog as your hub site, your home base. However, that does not mean I advocate ignoring social networking sites and if you've followed me for more than a day, you know I'm quite active on Facebook and twitter and LinkedIn (a little bit less).
In my view you need to be where your audience is and then drive them back home (blog).
In case you don't know, I do have a fan page set up on Facebook. If you prefer to hang out on Facebook, then I want to be there with blogging info for you.
One of the things I'm doing for people who join The Blog Squad Fan Club is make special fan-ONLY offers once in awhile and on the last day of the month will offer a substantial discount to a product or service. You've got to be a fan to find out and get notifications of special deals.
There is also a discussion forum and I'll answer your questions about business blogging and social marketing. I hope you'll join me on Facebook!
By the way, if you have a Fan page on Facebook, post the link in the comments so I, and other readers, can check it out and join your community too!

Having a blog as my home has definitely worked for me. You've taught this and so has one of my Mentors, ConnieRagenGreen, that your blog should be your hub or home and this is where my readers connect with me more than any other site.

Hi Denise, I can't seem to find the Blog Squad Fan Club fan page on Facebook today. The beauty of Social Media... how fast things change and how fast we can change things.
You offer such great tips, I send many to read you.
Thank you!

Debra, when my facebook account was hacked a couple weeks ago, I lost The Blog Squad fan page. I have not been able to get any response from Facebook about how it can be restored.

Eventually I'll create a new one, but too busy right now with other projects.
Thanks for asking.
Blog on!
