TIP: How to Archive Your Facebook Fan Page

I’m a big proponent of keeping your Web site and blog under your complete control and the main focus of your Web presence. When expanding your business’ reach to engage customers on other sites, you have no control over how or when the material you’ve uploaded will be treated.

So, what happens if the other social media sites you’ve engaged in to meet your customers flakes out on you and disappears? Where would you go? Your customers would automatically look for your Web page (yourgallery.com) for those answers.

If not, do you even know where to begin? I’ll give you a hint: your childhood.

This won’t be the only time you read where I ask you to return to your innocence. No, further back… there’s a difference between acting innocent and being innocent. Try regressing back to when you were exploring without bias -say when you were 5 or so. Do you remember how the World was your oyster for discovery?
