They are starting to pick up again.<br /><br />I'm noticing that the biggest blunder I am seeing is an invitation with no mention of the city (or country) that the event is in, only the venue.<br /><br />I get a lot of invites from people who live two thousand miles away from me. I can live with that-- I accept that I'm part of a global social network (although I really appreciate those who sort their Facebook friends into geographic lists and target their invites accordingly)<br /><br />I'm also getting invites to non-events. The invite seems to be on its way to becoming a standard way to blast out viral messages (about revisions to Facebook privacy policies or news feed toggles). This may increase Facebook invite fatigue.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432302620700328040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438036278060044394.post-5139122366202236492010-08-24T19:22:52.130-04:002010-08-24T19:22:52.130-04:00Thanks for the luv everyone, glad it was helpful. ...Thanks for the luv everyone, glad it was helpful. <br /><br />To piggy back off of what @Robin mentioned. I think it also makes it easier for others to help spread the word if you give them something specific to post in their status for at least half a day with a link thru to your invitation.Slash Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02096920897770754079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438036278060044394.post-79136680220386828252010-08-24T09:46:52.559-04:002010-08-24T09:46:52.559-04:00Love it.

I've beome a total convert to the @HOTLINK method, too. <br /><br />I would also just add one additional comment to your #5: <br />When you Invite all your Friends, considering asking them for help spreading the word. People are more likely to do that if they think it's important to you. If you don't want to do a general post askingfor that, then consider sending a private message to a select few that you think have audiences for whom the event will resonate. <br /><br />For example, with your Chaidenity program in the Fringe, I shared the Facebook Event posting you sent but also behind the scenes contacted someone I knew in the DC area whom I knew might be interested and asked him to share it out to his 700+ Friends, which he did, adding a personal note to the post. Don't know if it helped for sure, but I know that it couldn't have hurt plus my connection was happy to do me the favor -- a return for ones I've done for him in the past. So everyone felt good.<br /><br />Thanks again for this great how-to list. I'll share this post with my network!Robin S. Foxhttp://www.blog.businesssocialmediasolutions.comnoreply@blogger.com
