Scheduling FaceBook Posts - Week 3 Part B
So, I left my scheduling to the last day of my assignment, and guess what? Facebook is having issues today. After hearing me grunting and groaning my husband informed me that FB has been down all day and the stock lost 5% and Zuckerberg lost $7 billion due to this issue. I will have to share my screenshot at another time. How frustrating! It goes to show how important time management is because you never know when things will be down!
I chose posts that would help a small business, like determining whether they should be an LLC. I also wanted to post information about the new Build Back Better Act and how these changes would affect income taxes. I also included a funny tax joke, just because.
Only two people in my group have a Facebook Business page so I found a few others to comment on.
Anear - Incredible picture from the S.D. Museum of Art and thought-provoking posts.
Lucid Nap - Definitely a dark side but very interesting!
Trulyours- Beautiful photographs.
Weed 'em & Reap - Pretty floral arrangement.
I don't know if Facebook is still having issues, but I have tried 5 times to schedule my 3rd post and no luck!

Engaging Your Customers - Week 6 Part A
Finding FaceBook business pages to like is like finding a needle in a haystack! There are many options to sift through. I choose businesses that offer accounting and tax information. I would like my feed to show information that I feel would be helpful to small businesses. Some businesses were like options, and some were groups that I joined.
I also requested to join two small business groups. This was the hardest search. Many were for small businesses in California and Southern California but I had to sift through what looked like a lot of spam or businesses from other states and countries. I feel that the two I requested to join would be the most helpful for future networking.
1. Accounting and Finance group - I joined this group for knowledge related to accounting and finance. It is also a page to test your knowledge. Most posts were self-quizzes,
2. Remote Accounting/Bookkeeping & Businesses hiring them - I joined this group for new accountants and bookkeepers in order to network and learn more about accounting concepts. Posts range from best fee payment system, QuickBooks, jobs, looking for jobs, and useful software.
3. IRS - This is self-explanatory. Posts and videos provide help in filing taxes as well as help for business entities. It is a wealth of knowledge for tax time or just starting a business.
4. Oracle NetSuite - This concerns cloud-based business management and contains links to articles as well as events. The articles were very well written and would be helpful.
5. QuickBooks Online Q & A and Intuit Quickbooks - I joined one group and liked the QB page. Both offer tips and insights and are a way to share knowledge. The posts were well written and had many helpful comments.
6. Local Small Businesses! San Bernardino & Riverside County - Since I reside in Riverside County I felt that this would be a good page to promote my business. It is a page to find a small business or just network. The posts are primarily promoting the business, but there were also posts for events and before and after photos.
7. San Diego Small Business Association - I requested to join this group as another way to network and promote my business or help other businesses.
