Hi ed!

I may have to leave early, FYI, so no offense intended if I jump off. :)

I am not able to unmute myself. Sorry!!

I’m Simone from Napa. I just opened a preschool in Napa after 20 years in Early Childhood. difficult times due to COVID

I working on opening my business.

Hi I’m Danielle Zoller and I am the Facility & Events Specialist with Yountville Events through the Town of Yountville.

I am a photographer, iPhoneographer, and presenter. I teach iPhoneography workshops at several locations including UC Berkeley, and Stanford Continuing Studies (all on Zoom these days.) I use FB and IG to promote my business, but don’t use Live often. The only time I have used Live is with my work at The UC Theatre during live performances, but those are on hold currently.

I am VP Sales/Marketing at Lasseter Family Winery. I am also owner/founder launching a tiny new wine brand called Wow and Flutter Winery with my husband who is the winemaker.

I will be running the social media accounts for my family’s wine label. I have been in the hospitality industry for the last 5 years.

FB challenge: how to set up targeted marketing; how to post links in stories

I agree with Jenifer! That’s the biggest challenge

FOMO - fear of missing an opportunity if you’re not monitoring it

how often & how long

I have learned so many new things from TikTok!

how do I share it to my personal page from business page?

Can you do a ‘mass invite’ for people to follow you on FB and IG, rather than inviting people one by one?

my FB business page doesnt come up on Google. Why?

how active ie once a day...?

How do you define reach? people who read the post or what?

What is "LIVE"?

How best to tie FB Events with EventBright? Do you need to set up both or link?

What size video should you post for FB Live? Does it always have to be vertical?

How do you know if anyone actually watching live?

Can you do a FB live and post it both to a Biz page and an event?

Are there preferred time, length, perameters? or is it like a short post with a bit of video. I'm wondering about hosting a discussion for 1 hour? Whomever shows up to discuss?

Do you have any lighting or camera recommendations? Is there a preference or ease of use when doing live on a computer camera vs cellphone?

Thinking more a strategy. For example I host a "death cafe" on Zoom - people come, or not. One or 10, I'm still there. Is FB Live less appropriate for that hanging out?

Is it best to announce a FB Live before holding the event or can it just happen at any time?

Thanks, Ed! See you at a webinar sometime soon!

At www.sonomawest.com we do have a free community calendar to cover all of North and West County with our four daily digital news sites, so for anyone who is going to have an event, be sure to post it. We did just expand to offer event services, but you can all post for free. By posting on our journalistic sites, it does get you a reach to our essential readers. Hope it will help all of you.

so are you saying that we can comment on our own posts?

can you join a group from your biz page/?
