If your friends do not become fans they will not see your posts. Just because you create the page doesn't mean that all your friends are automatic fans. It is a separate entity by default. Once you get it up let me know and I'll tweet about it - maybe get you some more fans. :) Hope that helped. Hi Beth,

Most are not interested in this subject and would not be fans of this page. Is there any way to keep the fan page posts and personal page separate?

I would be careful about asking others to suggest. If not done correctly it can be a real turnoff. I took a chance doing it and the coyness I used I think paid off. Otherwise, good luck with everything! -Gabe Hi Linda,

Thanks so much for sending it out. I have been pleased with Facebook for my personal usage but realized I needed to start a fanpage for my biz. That number grows slowly as I invite a few people at a time. Never thought to ask others to invite. Twitter was a mystery to me until recently. So thanks so much. I am particularly going to try out the Wefollow.com and Tweepsearch.com Gabe, This is an excellent post. Thanks so much for sending it out.

You are right - it doesn't matter what I think. People will go with what is comfortable to them. Good luck. :) -Gabe Thanks Paul,

You did a great job of comparing Facebook and Twitter. My experience has been very similar to yours. Our following on Twitter is much higher & less personal. And we post updates to our FB page once or twice a day and might tweet 10-20 times a day. I'm not all that interested in proving whether FB or Twitter is a better promotional tool. My philosophy is that some people prefer to connect via FB, others via Twitter, others via email, others via RSS feed. So we use all of them and let people choose the channel they like best. I will say that one of our goals now is to better track how many new customers we get through each channel. I don't know that we'll do anything differently, but it's good info to have.
