Social Media Help, Links and Tips

Social Media Help

We have found a delightful Social Media Edutainer, Andrea Vahl. She’s funny and insightful. Simply delightful. She recently posted a great list of links for developing, updating and learning more about Social Media. It’s useful to keep on hand. Subscribe to her newsletter and check out her alias “Grandma Mary” on her Facebook site. Very entertaining. Enjoy the list and keep it handy!

Over the years, I’ve gathered a lot of reference links for each social site that I use all the time to get the latest news, contact the social sites, get help, and more. Here are some of the most helpful links I have all in one place. I would definitely recommend bookmarking this!

Other extremely helpful links
The Facebook Debugger is great for when you try to post a link to Facebook and the image is not pulling in correctly or the meta data is wrong or blank. Just add the link and run it through the debugger and then go back and try posting it again on Facebook. It usually works! https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
The Facebook Ads Text Overlay tool helps you determine how Facebook calculates the 20% text rule for advertising: https://www.facebook.com/ads/tools/text_overlay
