Every time I bitch about Facebook doing something with fan pages, I quickly say that exact same thing. The business I have gotten from Facebook has made it beyond worthwhile.

I think that there should be no holding back of news feeds to fans you have already paid or worked hard for,… spend tens of thousands for !!!! think about it,.. why must we pay twice to keep our fans informed ? ,.. this is absolute nonsense. Come on FaceBook get your act together !!!!

What’s wrong with paying a monthly or yearly subscription fee an to have the algorithm behave as it did before the change a couple of months ago?

exactly paul. for businesses facebook is a marketing instrument. now you have to pay for reach. nobody would expect flyers to be free. But with flyers you can not measure your reach!

I must be the only one who likes the current setup. As a small business with about 1100 fans i pay $10 and reach upto 6k. Others dont pay and get less reach- makes good business sense to me.

Adam explained perfectly how I had a reach that high. I do band/concert photography so most of the photos I posted would get spread around to their fans.
I used a Payvment store to sell posters. It was an incredible Facebook app to use and is one of the best stores I’ve used so far. They switched things up a bit and started a new company called Lish that kind of messed it up a bit, but it’s still a viable free store option for Facebook. A lot of bands use it to sell merchandise.

Facebook is free. Pay to play by buying ads or play within their rules. It’s a tool to be used for marketing. It’s a good reminder not to get too comfortable and too dependent on one tool.
