The countdown has begun . . . are you going to meet the deadline? Last week I shared on Facebook with you the exciting new Stay-on-Track program recently launched by Ariane — and today I am writing this blog posting to make sure you understand what it is that she is offering . . FOR F.REE!
 
If you are anything like me, you’re a visual-experience-oriented person — who sometimes struggles with online information, especially when it’s packed full of IMPORTANT career-boosting information. I get overwhelmed to say the least, and panic at the thought that my money will be wasted because I might miss some of the crucial information provided by the speakers. Will I remember what I needed to take away from the session, will I understand what they were trying to portray to me?
 
With the Stay-on-Track program, it’s like Ariane read my mind and said… “I will prepare the Telesummit for you in CD and transcript form — AND I’ll also give you the Stay-on-Track program to make sure you succeed!” She WANTS you to get all the fruit off the tree… and she makes that possible for F.R.E.E if you purchase the Home-study program on or before midnight (Eastern Time), on April 15th!
 
The Stay-on-Track Program is a simple system to organize, prioritize, and create YOUR action plan as you hear the Telesummit presenters — so you’re immediately able to feed your energy and the wealth of information into creating and developing your first project!
 
No more feeling like you are flapping in the wind… the Stay-on-Track Program allows you to be grounded in your creative process and utilize all the valuable information from the Telesummit Home-study Program!

I was recently a guest panelist on The smARTist Telesummit with Ariane Goodwin.  It was truly an inspiring experience.

My presentation was titled, Facebook for Artists, Beyond Beginners which included a 17 pages of illustrated handouts with easy, step-by-step instructions.

There was no way I could possible cover all the materials and tools that Facebook provides in 60 minutes.

After the presentation I was sent a list of email for artists with their questions concerning Facebook and I tried to answer them to the best of my knowledge.

Here are some of the questions and answers:

Q: What about the changes in the privacy policy?  Should we be concerned? 
A: We should all be concerned about our privacy anywhere online.  If you are really concerned about your privacy and the changes on Facebook, I read this fantastic article and follower their suggestions for not only myself, but for my clients as well.  http://tinyurl.com/yz2bbn3

Q: Is it ok to have 2 Facebooks, one for person and one for business or is this too confusing for other? 
A: Yes, it absolutely ok to have 2 Facebooks.  First of all, you need to have a personal profile.  From there you can create your fan/business page.  This is what I do and I suggest to my clients.  When posting anything business related, post from your fan/business page.  If you are conversing with a friend or family member, do it from your personal profile page.  That way, the 2 don’t get confused.

Q: I have found my RSS feed url on Wordpress.  Now, how and where do I enter it into the “notes” section of my Fan Page to get the blog to feed into that space?  Hate to be a pain, but I’m still struggling with this.  I’ve searched the FB help extensively already for an answer.  (Much thanks in advance for your help!)  — okay, now I’ve got it coming in, but it’s coming in to my personal page not my fan page.  Yikes! 
A: To do this, you need to stop importing the blog to your personal page.  When you go into your business page, go to edit page and you will see a list there.  On that list you will then see “Notes”.  Click on edit.  You can then import your blog into your fan page.

And these are just a few.  If you are confused by Facebook, I can help you to keep it straight with the teleseminar “11 Ways to Avoid Missed Opportunities on Facebook“.  This teleseminar was hosted by Joan Stewart in June of 2009 and includes a 28 page handout.  You can order it as an MP3, transcript or as a CD.
