I have noticed. It's frustrating. I still have enough of a reach and do enough business through Facebook to keep me using my page.

I've noticed a drop in activity. It started last June and has steadily declined. Around April FB introduced an new algorithm and my views took another hit. I am toying with giving up on having a FB page. It is hard to figure the ROI of the time I spend on it.

I just post something once a day now. Yes- my viewership had declined quit a bit from a year ago. I try to not spend a lot of time on it. I do get some business from it.

I have indeed noticed a drop. I do still post, but I try not to spend as much time one it.

I found these three simple tips are needed to maximize reach1. Use images
2. Ask questions
3. Limit links, FB seems to not like people leaving FB.

Is anyone else frustrated with how their FB PC page looks now? I cant seem to figure out where anything is. Sorry if this is not posted in the right place, but I didn't really want to start a new thread.

FB is always changing things around. Is there something in particular you're looking for and can't find?

Unfortunately, that is the "price" you pay for using a free platform for a commercial enterprise. You don't have any leverage in what goes on because you are not financially vested in the product. All we can do is try to figure out how to make it work the best we can for what we want to do.

Interesting! How would you go about it? It's just photo sharing right?

Yes it is. Have a friend who sells Younique and she uses Instagram all the time.

Rae, not looking for anything in particular, just frustrated that the layout is so different.
