1. I saw this – I can’t help but agree. With everything else going on is it best to ditch it altogether?

   • I’m not sure – I had a viral post on FB in my first 18 months and it netted me a whole bucket load of views, and I have a very active FB group, so i keep it going just for that…

     • That’s the thing, for you it’s worth keeping. I’ve been playing with the idea of creating another one just for the blog and putting rubbish data in that’s going to be useless to them.

     • I think a lot of people are thinking the same at the minute…

     • Yup… It’s a hard one in a way.

2. I’ve never used FB and glad for it. Nothing personal, but I hope FB fades away. I hope your feeling better Suzie! 😎❤️

   • It’s been fantastic for networking but it’s definitely pretty useless for bloggers at the minute

3. About a year or two ago, Facebook shut me down for no explained reason. So I’ve stopped relying on them for anything. I have a Facebook page that is just there and serves absolutely no purpose.

   • Did you ever get your closed page back or have you started a new one?

     • I had to start a new one.

     • Meh… such a pain!

     • Exactly. And now the data breaches! I’m thinking of shutting down my page.

     • It’s quite scary isn’t it… and when you delete your account I’m not actually sure your data is actually deleted…

     • I don’t think it is.

4. I set up a second profile just to make sci fi friends. Out of the 300 friends I interact with about 4. But getting people to follow links away from fb is almost impossible. A lot of this is down to users being on the fb app rather a browser. For my blog is have found fb of very little use. It is good as a central location to gather information .

   • I totally agree – very few people see my posts now

5. I find that the reach on FB is so limited. Hardly anyone ever sees my posts from the list of people that have liked my page. I try and focus more on Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest (although I need to make far more of an effort with all of them!)

   • I totally agree about FB – my focus is Twitter, SU and Pinterest. Instagram is just full of spammers

6. FB seems okay for building a community feel for your blog but from what others say it can be more work than it’s worth sometimes. The downside I’ve heard occasionally is that people comment on FB and not on their blog. Got a personal FB profile but don’t really push the blog on it.

   • Yeah it can be a real waste of time if you’re not in any targeted groups, and even then it can be pointless in those too!

7. SUZIE,you said you are affraid I don’t see why you should be, because a lot of single women are touring the little tourists town during the six seasons of the year, I am including the dry and rainy seasons of the tropic.

   • I’m not afraid of touring, but my husband and I can’t afford to travel there!
