Hi Linda,
In my opinion, because Facebook is so rapidly always changing I would NOT use it as my only way of connecting with clients. While the article I read on how we shared content in 2011 – http://lisaangelettieblog.com/how-we-shared-content-in-2011/ details that Facebook if by far the biggest way folks are sharing content – it still only accounts for about 50% of the sharing of content. I wouldn’t abandon email marketing. Never make marketing decisions based solely on what you prefer. I myself prefer email but social marketing could not be denied:) Everyone does not have a Facebook account — although it seems like it huh:) LOL!
Thanks for your input,
Lisa

This post is timely for me personally, thank you. I am at the point with my web site where I’m contemplating whether to use an email opt-in form or just direct visitors to my facebook page to send me messages, to obtain something for free, & to read newest information under the notes sections. The reason I’m contemplating this is that as the only person working this huge website I’m asking myself the questions of:

1. How much duplication do I actually have time for? In other words . . . writing & adding content daily, then having to post it on facebook & twitter to direct back to the website, then sending out an email to notifiy subscribers of certain information, then answering emails in three different places – from the site contact form, from facebook both personal & page profiles, & from subscribers?

2. Are my subscribers experiencing the same email box overwhelm I am on a personal & business level – most days now I delete more email than I read due to time constraints. However, at the end of the day I’m always on facebook where I can read what the pages I have liked have to say – which more often than not is some duplication of an email I received that day . . .

I understand the current philosophy that a site’s success lies in it’s email list but for me personally I’m more likely to “share” a facebook post with my personal profile friends & through my page than I am to share an email . . . BTW facebook no longer allows landing pages with the new timeline, you must use your notes section & then direct your followers to that link (dam!). In addition FB no longer allows apps to auto post from a blog (double dam!) . . .

I would love feedback on this since I am at a decision point of “to add an email opt in” or to funnel everything through my facebook page when you must “like” to receive :>)

thanks for the article, one thing I find it hard to read regular text, I prefer aerial or how ever
you spell it. For some reason my eyes don't like regular text. It is too bad all books aren't
written in aerial. Like the latest buzz stuff below your photo is great.
