Ohhh, my dearest Sadhvi - this is absolutely precious and makes my heart sing. I've followed your journey with your dear mamasita over the past year, and you two are such wonderful role models for all of us. Thank you for leading the way with such grace. It's a joy to know you and call you a friend all these years. I love you. xoxo 🥰💕🙏🏻

Hi @Chris Dunnett -- thank you for your kind words!!! Aha, excellent clarifying question. Absolutely, if someone is an Admin on one Page but not others, there's no way they can access Pages without being an Admin. It's only you that is seeing all your Pages in Creator Studio. Cheers!

Getting almost 3 billion people to 'boycott'... is never going to happen. It's best to find a way that works for you, whether a different social channel or a whole different method of marketing.

I agree, Dylan!! Even though I'm a long-established expert in the social media industry, I also get exhausted by trying so hard to be 'everywhere.' I know our good friend GaryVee makes it look easy, ha! But IMHO it really, truly depends on your own goals, your own resources, your own preferences.

Hi @Desiree Martinez -- great distinction here. I do feel with big brands that have infinitely more resources than SMBs it's way more important to have a presence on all the social platforms. I just saw this epic post by GaryVee on LinkedIn/SlideShare: https://www.slideshare.net/...

Love Buffer! And btw their study was from 2017 about the square video. It seems vertical (4:5) is performing better these days. See this study from SocialInsider -- https://www.socialinsider.i...

Re: Is Facebook Organic Marketing Dead? : Social Media Examiner

Mari Smith — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 14:33:47 -0000

Hi Gerry! I'm so sorry to hear that you're so down on Facebook. It's still the #1 social network in the world with a combined 2.7 billion users across their family of apps (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger.) Savvy marketers understand the importance of digging in, getting the right education, testing regularly, and for sure diversifying, as you say!!

I've been a passionate advocate for using Facebook for business since 2007, running my own business. I can assure you, I do not sugar coat. But what I do, is to choose a positive, optimistic path! :)

Hi there -- good question. I would recommend simply doing a test. Facebook's slideshow is a very simple tool to help marketers make their static visual content into videos. Personally, I prefer creating my own video content with text overlay using a great tool like wave.video.

Outstanding article, Erika!! Thanks for your kind mention.

And, I must say I do agree with you on the skepticism regards bots... at times, I'll include a slide that says, "Marketers may ruin Messenger." Ha!! I went all in with a chatbot at first, then backed off a bit... super duper early days yet and also similar to Stories. It's a LOT of work to keep cranking that daily content and the results have to be trackable through the end.

Thanks again for the great summary and your thoughts! xoxo
