National Association of Professional Women Los Angeles, CA Local Chapter hosted a social media seminar presented by Chapter President Ruth Garcia-Corrales in April.
Garden City, NY (PRWEB) June 13, 2013
Members and guests of the NAPW Los Angeles, CA Local Chapter gathered on April 17th for a professional networking meeting.
The group of professional women enjoyed an evening of getting to know one another, supporting each other’s professional endeavors and networking.
Attendees also got expert tips from Chapter President Ruth Garcia-Corrales when she delivered a presentation on how to more effectively use social media.
President Ruth Garcia-Corrales kicked off the meeting with a warm welcome to members and guests.
"Social Networking and Marketing has grown to become vital to business, no matter the size. It's a great way to get your name out there and directly communicate with your target market!" said President Ruth Garcia-Corrales.
She then informed the group that according to the organization's bylaws her two-year term was up, and a new election was going to have to happen. Without one moment’s hesitation, members unanimously voted her back into this office.
Ms. Garcia-Corrales began her social media presentation with a survey of how many people at the meeting had Facebook profiles. That answer was impressive; only one member did not have one.
The Chapter President asked the group if they knew that less than 16 percent (on average) of their fans see posts because of EdgeRank, which determines what pages it will show on their News Feeds.
Ms. Garcia-Corrales told the members and guests that if Facebook doesn’t post all their posts to all their friends, EdgeRank is why.
There are three elements that EdgeRank reviews: affinity, weight and time decay.
Affinity is measured by the relationship of the user with person posting—this is based on frequency of contact; frequency of logins on Facebook; the number of likes, comments, shares, etc. The more interaction between the user and the person posting, the higher your affinity, she told the audience.
Weight is based on the different objects; for example, photos have more weight than links, and comments are four times “heavier” than likes.
A newer post is more likely to appear than an old one, she told the group.
“For more engagement, posts with less than 80 characters will be seen 27 percent more often than longer posts, according to a Buddy Media Study,” said President Garcia-Corrales. “Asking questions double the possibilities of participation, and photos draw more likes. When planning your post, think of how to make it more interesting.”
The Chapter President went on to give the group of professional women a number of examples for could be making their Facebook posts more effective.
