    Hmmm. Whenever I hear the word Facebook, I just want to regurgitate.

      That's an understandable reaction. If you read the article I linked to, the glorious facts will probably make you want to do it twice.

      But some people market on FaceBook, and having the numbers might help them.

      For instance, engagement has decreased across all industries from 2014 to 2015. From 5.3% to 3.8% in retail (the best performing sector).

      Videos have an organic reach of 8.7% but photos only 3.7%, lower than links (5.3%) or status updates (5.8%).

      Status updates went down by 72%. Which means all those people selling FaceBook page maintenance are wasting business owners' money?

      And here's a question: are YouTube videos embedded in a FaceBook page videos and links? If yes, does it mean they have an organic reach of 5.3%+8.7%? And is that the same as cha-ching?

      If organic reach = is the number of unique people, fans or non-fans, who saw any content about your Page in their News Feed, Ticker or on your Page, and your video converts at an amazing 33%, that means 287 out of 1000 people who saw it call. If you convert at an amazing 33%, that means that you get 94 sales for every 1000 people who see your video. Ain't that grand?

        Yes. I realized that your post was serious and I apologize for mine being so inane.

        You are much too gracious with your response. Hopefully, someone will get some real use out of it. While my post was inane, I was serious. lol

        I do not use Facebook for anything and when my clients require anything related to social media, I refer them to others I trust to do that work. I have the same reaction to social media that many folks have to spiders or snakes.

        When someone creates an anti-social site, I'll be the first to join. :-)

          I'll start working on it tomorrow. As the earliest bird, I'll only charge you $19.97 a month, if you sign up now. Once tomorrow comes, it goes up to full price: $2,997 sign up fee + $997 a month maintenance.

          I'm not a fan of FaceBook. Mostly because relatives insist on telling me what they had for breakfast, leave me badly written religious or philosophical messages and strangers keep wanting me to befriend them.

          I live in the US and people from Romania, Latvia and China want to be my friends!

          Not to mention I don't like FaceBook's attitude.

          But that's just me and you, it seems. Sigh, alas, and sigh again!

            A small price to pay as long as you are guaranteeing that I will never be found on the site. :-)
