As many of you know, I just had my 3rd little man, Uriah, not too long ago, & in expectation of his arrival I’ve been busy getting things ready for you so that I can spend more time with him & my other little men!

So today I want to share a few things that I have planned for you for the remainder of the month & I want to invite you to join me in a fun new project!

Project 52

So let’s start off with something super fun. If you read the comments under the posts here, then you should be familiar with Lakshmi! She’s a regular around here & she has big plans for 2012. I’m jumping in & joining her & I want to invite you to come along & be involved in Project 52.

Project 52 is a year-long project that will help you improve your photography skills. What product based creative biz doesn’t want that?! Each month a new theme is chosen & every week you photograph objects that fit into that them & post them on your blog, FB, or Twitter. Just wherever! I’ve even started an album on my FB page that you can upload your Project 52 photos too & comment on others pics as well.

Sound like something you’re interested in? Then get going! I’ll post each months theme to my Facebook page & Lakshmi will be updating her blog weekly on the project. You can also link up there. Join us! It’s gonna be fun!

Craft Show Series

Next up, for the last two weeks in January, I’ve rounded up some of Etsy’s finest sellers that have experience when it comes to selling their products at craft shows. Each day you’re going to hear from someone new on a different aspect of workin’ it at craft shows. From the very beginning to the very end. It’s gonna be great & I hope you enjoy it. I hope it gives you a desire to step out of your comfort zone & participate in some craft shows this year! Don’t miss a piece of this series….January 16 – January 27!

Start Engaging Your Facebook Fans Today Using Conversation Hooks

Facebook is a social network. You use it to market your business by building relationships…hence being social!

You build relationships with followers by engaging them in conversation. Everyone knows this, but the big question of how to do it remains.

In my newsletter goodie – More Than You Ever Wanted To Know About Facebook – I share a post from graphic designer Havana Nguyen about one way she engages her Facebook followers.

Today I’m gonna sum up her great post in brief, but if you want all the goodies I’ve got for you on rocking your biz with Facebook, you’ll have to sign up on the right!

Draw Them In

Havana suggests using what she calls “conversation hooks” to engage her followers. Conversation hooks are just what they sound like…you use them to pull followers into your conversation.

Instead of posting boring, flat updates, give followers insight into your life & the things you’re interested in. Get specific & give details.

For example…instead of posting, “I’m working on a great new product! Can’t wait to launch it!”

Say something like, “I found the best floral fabric for my new spring collection! Here’s a sneak peek…what do you think?” & post a pic of it.

Your giving some extra detail & giving your fans a call to action. You’re asking them to talk with you.

Havana points out that there’s no real reason to include all the little details except to bring out your personality & open up room for comments.

She suggests that you include conversation hooks not only in your status updates, but in your profile or info sections, your photos, & in your discussion or notes sections.

So stop being boring people! Give your followers a chance to see the real you! Give them juicy, detailed info on you & your biz…just don’t get too personal, please. Some things are more than we need to know. Remember, you’re marketing yourself, your brand, & your business…make it real & make it count!

Leave your next Facebook status update in the comments below! Let’s see those socializing skills girlfriend!
