We are on Facebook!

Fri, Feb 26, 2010

I just signed up for a page at Facebook. I know I am behind the times but at least I am starting now. I think it will be a good way for store owners to connect with each other. You can post in the discussions section, upload photos of your products, or just post a link to your store.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/How-to-start-a-clothing-company/333842945937

Also does there have to be that long number there for the link? it doesn’t seem necessary but it doesn’t work without it.

I’ve got more stuff in store for this site in the future to create a community instead of just a blog.

Please take some time to write a comment or share this article with others. I want others to share their experiences, write criticism, and comment about how these articles have helped them. Just taking a few seconds to comment or share this article will help this community grow and allow us to have better information to help you in the future.

Thanks,
Jon Kruse

It doesn’t matter how many friends or followers you have on social networking sites!

I fanned up! When you get 25 fans go to http://www.facebook.com/username/ and you'll be able to get facebook.com/howtostartaclothingcompany or whatever vanity URL you want, and then you won't need to worry about those pesky numbers.

Thanks Andy. I knew you could make your own url these days I didn't know I had to have 25 fans though.

Yeah, I think it used to be 100 when they first started releasing vanity URLs, then it got brought down to a level that could be used by smaller brands.

As a side note, I like it when you write the personal aspects to posts like these, I know why the how tos and tutorials need to be business like, but I appreciate a bit of personality in my bloggers.
