Online Class: When Your Facebook Gets Compromised, Who Do You Call? And What Happens To Your Life And Business?

OMG, She Got Facebook Compromised And Lost Everything

Sabina Hitchen, a Public Relations Strategist & Expert, as well as an on-air TV personality for Wow-Worthy Small Biz Discoveries, had her Facebook compromised. Sabina runs part of her business coaching businesses about PR on Facebook in a Community Group. And let's not forget all of her new baby photos that she feeds her friends with daily.

When her Facebook account got hacked, she lost control of it and was unable to access her business Community Group or those baby pictures. Sabina is the former business partner and co-creator of Tin Shingle. She generously is pulling the curtain back to reveal her traumatic experience in order to help others avoid the same fate.

Today we found out:

• When it happened.

• How she knew.

• What she did right after.

• If there was anyone to call.

• No one to call? So who did she call?

• What she has learned since.

• If any other platforms, banks, emails, were impacted.

Sabina told us allllll about the dark web (well, as much as she learned), getting in touch with any facebook support, etc.

Online Class: "8 Things I Learned After Deleting Facebook From My Phone"

It's happening. The deletion of Facebook apps from people’s phones - or from their lives entirely - as revelations continue to come out as to how invasive Facebook's social tactics are. Even Lisa Paige from PopCrush Nights deleted Instagram for her phone for a day, and was so happy.
Tin Shingle’s owner Katie is a Digital Marketing Strategist, and has deleted Facebook Personal and Business apps from her phone, but still uses the platform for marketing.
Deleting the easy access revealed much about Facebook’s design, what’s working and not working with it, and how to reach the people who are still communicating with each other on the platform.
This isn't a TuneUp to slam Facebook, but to highlight the parts of it that you should pay attention to, in your broad marketing plans where time continues to shrink as more content grabs our attention. Namely:

Showing Up. Having a pulse on Facebook. People are checking out your brand page, and want to see life.

Shopping. Facebook is investing into the shopping game as buying via Instagram takes off. Instagram shopping is connected to your Facebook account. The only way to link to products on your website from your Instagram post is via Facebook's Ad Manager, so you can’t cut the cord just yet.

This TuneUp Covers:

• Design: What is hurting Facebook's design, and why your message may be getting buried.

• Facebook as a Creative Crutch. Are you reaching as many people as you think?

• Never Satisfied. There's a reason you're hooked.

• FOMO Fuels Everything

• When Facebook Goes Dark

• Facebook Can Still Track You, Despite Being Deleted From Phone

• So How Should You Use Facebook For Marketing?

Online Class TuneUp: Facebook Ads: Beyond The Boost

No matter what you think of Facebook these days, if you're still using it, you may be seeing those big shiny targeted ads on the website that seem to follow you and read your mind, and you may want an ad for your business to show up there.

During this TuneUp, we talk to digital advertising experts Patti Devine and Devin Holmes from Digital Impact. They are specialists in following the numbers to gauge how an ad might perform, and will tell us how we can do that too.

Patti and Devin are going to show us how to create these ads (like, literally, where the heck is the Ads Admin?) and where to start with producing your artwork and the content that goes with it. You're going to want a great image, on-point wording, and a well thought out web page for where you new viewers are going to click to.

Online Class TuneUp: Digital Marketing for Small Business

This TuneUp is based on a seminar Tin Shingle's co- founder Katie Hellmuth Martin delivered at the East Fishkill Library in the Hudson Valley of New York.

Learn quick and easy techniques that your business can use today that will help more people find out about your business. Designed for business owners who run a storefront, sell a product, or provide a service direct to customers, this workshop will get you comfortable with strategies in Facebook, Instagram, blogging, and knowing what to do with your newsletter.

Online Class TuneUp: Backup Plan for a Facebook Fizzle

Backup Plan For a Facebook Fizzle

Facebook's business model is to profit from your personal information. The more that people learn about how Facebook does this, and who Facebook's clients are (Facebook doesn't even know who their clients are, as proved this week when they admitted that they didn't know of any more fake Russian clients, and then found more...and they will find even more), the more trust people will lose in Facebook, and will leave Facebook, or show up less.

Facebook is branding its latest issue as a data breach and began offering rewards. But it's not. And it's not just a Russian issue. If you are an advertiser at Facebook - if you conduct marketing campaigns there - there is a high likelihood that the targeting features you use are about to get scaled waaaaaay back.

People market in Facebook because that's where everyone is. But if people start leaving, what does this mean for your business? You need a backup plan for how you reach your people.

We are discussing the backup plan - that should really be your marketing plan anyway. Don't worry - Facebook is part of that marketing plan. We're just removing some of your eggs from that basket.

Tin Shingle's owner and leader of this class has published her first response to Mark Zuckerberg's testimony to a House Committee in this blog post, which makes for a good read when listening to this TuneUp.
