With clickbait blog posts and random spam emails flooding your inbox on a daily basis, it can be hard to know what exactly SEO means for your business.

With Facebook’s handy scheduling feature, you can ensure your posts get maximum exposure by sharing them at the perfect time for your audience. This may not necessarily be the same time you’re creating your marketing content, if you're a night owl like me. It doesn’t matter what type of content you’re sharing, the procedure for scheduling is the same. You can share a simple text update, a photo, a video or a blog link. In this example I'll walk you through seven simple steps for sharing a plain text update. Next time I'll show you how to share a link to a blog post you've written.

All you need is a profile photo and a cover photo for your page and you're ready to go. You should add your full contact details to the **About** page right away, but you can incorporate further information, such as **Awards** and **Products**, later. > Success is the sum of details. - Harvey S. Firestone Since you don't need to invest a huge amount of time to start, a Facebook page is a must for any business. But creating a business page is only the first step. Next you must focus on creating a community of Facebook followers who appreciate your posts and find them valuable.  Posted on Wednesday, 1st February 2017 by Vanessa Hunt [Books](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/books) [Coaching](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/coaching) [Creativity](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/creativity) [Facebook](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/facebook) [Training](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/training) [Read full post »](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/2017/02/creating_a_vibrant_community_on_your_facebook_page) ## An interview with Data2CRM: Customer experience and CRM I was recently interviewed by Nataliia Matsyk (Marketing Manager) of [Data2CRM](https://www.data2crm.com/), who asked some interesting questions about my experience of working in the CRM industry.
