If it gets my photos/art around then yeah.

Click to expand...

But what good does that do if it doesn't get you clients? I thought that was the whole point of having a FB photo page...

Why waste time catering to people that will never use your services?

Because someone will still be looking at them. It's not like having a facebook photo page cost money. I'm just trying to promote myself as much as I can.

So you will market to those who liked you even if they are halfway around the world?

Seems to me, you need to start networking and collecting facebook friends in your area, and market to them. You know, One person you do a shoot for becomes your friend, and when you post more pictures it shows up on their facebook page, their friends see the post, and hopefully like you, and so on, and so on. THATS marketing via Facebook. Getting forum friends who aren't even in your area, like your page, and having your posts show up on their pages, so that their friends see it, isn't gonna garner you squat.

See?

I've lived in 4 different states in the last 2 years, covering both coasts. The chances of me running into someone "local" to me are actually pretty high. :lol:

well, one advantage, you need 25 fans before you can get your own facebook domain name

Sorry Bitter didn't see this post that you put. I understand what you are saying and I am already doing that. But why not get more likes in the process. Like you said my pictures post somewhere else around the world...someone still seems them. Does it do anything for my "marketing" no, but someone is seeing my work. And I'm okay with that. Not trying to be an a** or anything, I don't want you to think that. I'm just typing my opinion. Thanks for the input!!!

Bitter Jeweler · Feb 22, 2011

Ok, I getcha now.

I just look at it from a business standpoint as a marketing tool, not a gallery if you will.
I didn't think you were being an a**, however, you are allowed to be an a** if you want. :sexywink:

Haha I don't ever wanna be an a** on the forum. I am entitled to but I respect a lot of you guys and girls because y'all have helped me so much. I don't wanna burn any bridges!!! Thanks again Bitter your advice is ALWAYS considered.
