Facebook page reach new rules?

Hi

I've been reading lately from some page admins that Facebook changed its rules now, and any status you post on your page will only be seen by 12% of you fans... and if you need more people to see it, you will have to pay $5 or $10

Is this true? Where on facebook does it say that only 12% of your audience will see your status?

thanx

 

I dont know about 5 or 12, but I get, a link to promote it for 5$-10$in my status updates.

 

then this rule is for real???

 

no one else has any idea about this?

 

facebook sucks for marketing.

6 months ago I was all about it, but it has seen its day....I'm all about Pinterest now

 

hmmm... it would be interesting if you could start a thread explaining why FB sucks for marketing, and how pinterest rocks for that...

 

Facebook marketing died 2 years ago, I didn't know anyone still even tried.

 

What are you talking about?
You do it wrong then.

Ok, I won't play a the d!ck. Here's how I do it:

- Send messages to groups with +50k likes. Send A LOT of messages. Even involve nephews, your little brother, hire a VA or whatever.
- Hope that it's a kid who's the owner of the group
- Offer him a PS3, or some money

- Profit very good, day in day out.

 

Facebook sucks now, twitter is better.

 

ok guys, facebook sucks for marketing now, and twitter is king...
still this doesnt answer my question....

did facebook explicitly put a new rule stating that only 12% of your fans will see your updates???

thanx

 

Well...It is a good feature if you want to reach all your fans. Let's say you post on your page daily,sometimes the reach is only 5% and sometimes it's 10%. By using the promote option you have the choice of selecting the % of fans you want to reach. Can be effective if used well.

And all those who say fb marketing has died LOL. Lack of opportunity for you doesn't mean it's all over.
