I'm currently working on two books, the first is about James Drummond Burns, a poet who didn't survive the first world war; the second is a revised version of 'Aborigines in the Yarra Valley and Northern Dandenongs', a book I was lucky enough to do the previous layout for in 2011.<br />

Although I've worked on quite a few war stories in the last three years, this is the first one about an individual who didn't make it back home. He was a great poet before his death and the book publishes his writings including poems and an essay 'Winter in Victoria'. I don't think it's quite as confronting as some of the recent books I have worked on, as it doesn't document the daily life of war and hardships afterwards, but it does display the short life of a talented individual who could have become a greater part of Australian literature if it wasn't for his early death.<br />

<br />
Unfortunately issues arose and Morison House closed down soon after the book was published and the book launch was pushed aside. Luckily the books were saved and given to the Mount Evelyn History Group, who organised a fantastic event to launch the book, celebrate what Morrison House achieved and reunited many past students, teachers and employees.<br />
<br />
Below are a few photos from the launch.<br />

In my <a href="http://eepurl.com/W0pbr" target="_blank">last newsletter</a> the Useful Link I shared was for CreativeLive a website with great online courses. If you watch them live you can watch for free, or you can pay to have access to them at any time and be able to watch them when you want, at your own pace.<br />
<br />
I've been watching a number of courses and have found them really useful, even if I've known the basics of what a course is about I'll always come away learning more.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the reason for writing this is normally, if you want to purchase a course you can do so before or during the live recording with a 40% discount, afterward the live session they go up to the full price. But <a href="http://friends.creativelive.com/aff_c?offer_id=24&aff_id=379" target="_blank">CreativeLive are holding a Summer Sale</a>* where all courses have 40% off until July 20.<br />
<br />
So if you've been thinking about purchasing one of their courses, I recommend taking advantage of their sale.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">*On the other side of the world we can call it a mid-year sale, or just after mid-year sale, or Winter Sale, which is better really as there's less incentive to be outside when it's cold and raining.

Another option for getting your book printed is checking out overseas printing companies and online printing services (which generally mean overseas printing for us here in Australia).<br />
<br />
<b>Overseas Printing Companies</b><br />
Printing companies in places like China work the same way as going to a local printer but are sometimes cheaper, and although I've never tried myself, I've heard mixed reviews of them, with some people saying the outcome was fairly average, and others saying they got exactly what they wanted with no problems. <br />
<br />
<b>Online Printing Services</b><br />
There are also many online printing websites, like <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=586717&U=950846&M=31260&urllink=" target="_blank">Blurb</a> or <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7558446-10794296" target="_blank">CreateSpace</a> (owned by Amazon), that allow you to design your book within their software then print on demand. They also give you the option to sell through their websites.<br />
<br />
But there are two things you do need to know before you go ahead with an overseas print, and it's got nothing to do with which printer or the quality. It's all about delivery.<br />
<br />
If you order from another country you, and the printing company don't have any control of when you get your books, this includes any samples and the final print. You also have to take into account the possibility your book will be delayed in customs. If you are planning a launch for your book I suggest not organising the launch date until you have the books sitting in your livingroom/office ready to be sold.<br />
<br />
The second thing you need to do is research import taxes. If you are receiving more than AU$1000 of goods (using the conversion rate on the date of export) you will need to pay duty on the book cost, and then GST on the 'VoTI' which is the price of the books, duty and postage. This sometimes makes the cost of your books the same as or more than having them printed locally.<br />
You can find out more about import taxes, and example calculations, at: <a href="http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page5549.asp#Calculating" target="_blank">http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page5549.asp#Calculating</a><br />
<br />
The benefit of using an online printing service is you don't need to order hundreds or thousands at a time. You can order as little as one and as many as you would like. Most online printing services also have an online store or are connected to Amazon where you can list your book for sale and they look after the printing/distribution. Which means if people are ordering from a country other than Australia the postage is often quicker and cheaper for them as well.<br />
<br />
If you see the benefits of printing your book both in Australia for the Australian market, and online for international orders then definitely do both! <br />

<br />
If you're working with a layout/typesetter they will be able to talk to you through what you need to know and get quotes for you, but if you're working directly with a printer here are a few tips to get an accurate quote and start building a good relationship.<br />
<br />
First it's a good idea to meet with some printers and get quotes before you start on the layout of your book. You will probably have a rough idea what you want your book to look like, what size it will be, whether you want colour inside or greyscale and approximately how many pages it will have. So write that all down and take it with you.<br />
<br />
If you have a book at home that you want your book to look similar to (in relation to size and paper quality) take that with you.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Various book shapes and sizes (L-R: A4 portrait, square, A4 landscape, A5 portrait).</i></div>
<br />
There are a few things your printer will want to know to give you a quote:<br />
<ul>
<li>What size will the finished book be</li>
<li>How many pages will it have (pages are in multiples of 4, or 2 if it's going to be spiral bound), this can be an approximate for now</li>
<li>How it will be bound (stapled, spiral bound, glued, etc)</li>
<li>What thickness will the cover be</li>
<li>What thickness will the inner pages be</li>
<li>What finish will the cover have (matt, gloss, silk etc)</li>
<li>Will the cover be colour or greyscale</li>
<li>Will the inside pages be colour or greyscale</li>
<li>How many copies do you want</li>
</ul>
If you don't know what you prefer or don't understand what some of these terms are the printer will be able to show you samples so you understand and can figure out which you like better.<br />
I'll also be going in to all these things in later posts.<br />
<br />
You can ask for multiple quotes to get an idea how much the price will change. For example you may ask for two quotes, the book details exactly the same, but 500 copies in one quote and 1000 copies in another.<br />
<br />
So what do you need to know from the printer?<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Do they create proofs.</i> Some printers will give you a proof copy to sign off on, others you will have to ask to provide this as they may not automatically create one for you. A proof allows you to double check the layout and make sure the images you've provided are good quality before they print hundreds and you realise there is an issue.</li>
<li><i>How long does it take for your book to be ready.</i> This is especially useful if you're running to a launch deadline as it will help you work out when you need to give them the layout by.</li>
<li><i>Find out if they print or outsource.</i> Some businesses will say they can print your book, but they actually outsource it. While there is nothing wrong with this you should be aware it will put a bit extra on the cost (for their time), and it may make the process a bit longer than normal as files, proofs and final copies have to go through them.</li>
</ul>
These days self publishing is quite common and most printers are happy to meet and explain the process, help you choose paper and show you samples to help make your decision. I may be annoying a few printers here, but if a printer isn't willing to take the time to talk to you then I would be considering someone else to print your book. Working with a printer that is happy to explain things will make it less stressful for you and get you the final product that you want.Joy Carrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03824494478046415635noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070221245040929383.post-90692446931112986722014-04-01T14:27:00.001+11:002014-04-01T14:27:16.397+11:00Choosing a printer - Part 1: Traditional or Digital PrintQuick note: This post focuses on finding a local printer, I won't be covering online or office supply businesses.<br />
<br />
There are two types of printers that print books, traditional printing (also called offset printing) and digital printing. Depending on the quantity you want printed you will find a large difference in quote price. You may also find, depending on the physical size of your book, some printers won't be able to print it.<br />
<br />
Traditional printing is done by a huge press, like the type you see printing newspapers. It can print larger books but has a longer set up time so smaller quantities will be quite expensive per book. Generally they won't print less than 500 copies on a traditional press, and it becomes more cost effective once you print 1000 or more.<br />
<br />
Digital printing is done with a large computerised printer. It's slightly more limited in the physical size it can print, for example an A4 size book bound on the short side; so it is A4 size but landscape orientated; is too wide to print, however A4 size bound on the long side; making it A4 portrait; is fine (I'll go into more detail of this in a later blog post). As digital printers don't have a long setup like traditional press, it's a lot cheaper per book if you want a smaller quantity printed. They should also be happy to quote if you want less than 500, including, 20 50, 100, 200 etc.<br />
<br />
<i>Digital Printer</i><br />
A lot of people assume that digital printing is a desktop printed connected to a computer, but as you can see in the photos below, they're a lot larger than that!<br />
<br />

<br />
This may vary depending which country or state you're in, but here are some things I've found when getting quotes.<br />
- Digital printing is generally cheaper per book until you get to about 2000-3000 copies, then it evens out to be roughly the same.<br />
- A lot of traditional printers also have digital printing capabilities, and will quote you based on which system can print your book at the most cost effective price.<br />

But there are many benefits to writing a newsletter over social media posts.<br />
<br />
<i>You may have many followers on social media, but they won't always see your posts</i><br />
On any social media platform most people are following a lot of others, covering people they know and businesses. To be seen and have an impact your followers need to absolutely love you and make sure they see all your posts, otherwise your posts can get lost in the noise of other posts, or in the case of Facebook, may not be seen by many of your fans because of the tweaking Facebook often do to newsfeeds.<br />
Sending a newsletter gives you permission to access your subscribers directly. They've signed up and want to hear from you, your email is always available to them, even if they can't pay attention to it for a few hours or a day. It's sitting in their inbox for when they have time to read it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2n7MsWoDODNrXhVKd42Q1N5OEQnFoxJgwgc8B8QowskcpFL-Jy1DDe_JU4sy2zlcuCGoRqNElyOyvl3FvBKz74ptUJSK_uJChYBmI_kWzDflkTUg6jnKReanCDRCOPMd7xznvbSeTZiA/s1600/likes.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<i>You know you have real fans</i><br />
Signing up to your newsletter is a conscious decision, subscribers want to hear what you have to say. Social media is a mixed bag, some of your fans will love you, others may like you because they like some of your tips and photos or they've entered a competition you've run. Not all your followers like you because they are interested in your products or services. <br />
I've always found I get more response when I send out a newsletter. Not necessarily with clickthroughs, but with phone calls and direct email replies (I believe his is because I'm a service based business not a product based business).<br />
<br />
<i>Subscribers are always available to you</i><br />
Yes, there's always that chance that social media platforms will close down, a new platform will come out that people swap over to (meaning you need to work to get fans back on the new platform) and the one we all hate to think about, Facebook can block or ban us for not following a rule when posting or running a competition (always re-read the rules when running a competition!).<br />
Your subscribers on the other hand are always available to you. You own your subscriber list, and even if the platform you use to send out your newsletters closes down you can easily export your list and import it into another platform and continue on.<br />
<i><br />You can mix it up a bit</i><br />
Social media platforms are fairly static in what you can do. Twitter only allow short posts, YouTube is video only, Facebook is more adaptable but has a lot of rules that are always changing.<br />
Your newsletters allow you to contact people and share what you want how you want. You can utilise your layout to benefit your branding, you can share long or short articles, competition details, blog post links, large or small photos, personalise them with subscriber names, or even segment them into products/services that your subscribers like.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you would like to subscribe to the FeralArt newsletter, where you can get information that I don't post on social media or on my blog, plus links to useful websites, fill out the signup form below.<br />
I send out a newsletter every three weeks and never share your email address with any other person or business.<br />

<br />
100 years ago (Sir) John Monash and 3000 soldiers headed out to Lilydale and camped where the lake is now. They were out there for about a week and on the 13th they held a mock battle at Mount Mary.<br />
<br />
To remember the event, yesterday a plaque and sign was unveiled at the hill above Lilydale Lake with information about the event. There was also a military band, guard of honour and volley salute to celebrate the unveiling. Afterwards a book with all the details of the week events and key people was launched at the Lilydale Lake community room.<br />
<br />
Over the past few months I worked with Lilydale Rotary on designing the signage and Mt Evelyn RSL on designing the book layout. There will be a second sign unveiled on Thursday at Coldstream near where the Battle of Mount Mary was conducted.<br />
<br />
I've done a few historic books in the past two years, but this is the first important piece of signage I've been involved in, so it was a great honour.<br />

<br />
We all love great looking photos on our website and social media posts. But it's often hard to find ones you can use knowing you're not breaking copyright. Just picking images up off Google or another website could mean you're using someones photo or illustration without their permission, and as they own it they can contact you to take it down or charge you for it, and it can get messy (check out this recent post about a blogger who had used images found on Google and other social sharing sites without permission <a href="http://m.blogher.com/bloggers-beware-you-can-get-sued-using-photos-your-blog-my-story" target="_blank">Blogger Beware: You CAN Get Sued For Using Photos You Don't Own on Your Blog</a>).<br />
<br />
There are a few websites that have free images available, <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/" target="_blank">SXC</a> and <a href="http://www.morguefile.com/" target="_blank">morgueFile</a>. <a href="http://www.istockphoto.com/" target="_blank">iStockPhoto</a> also have one photo available for free each week.<br />
<br />
But at the end of last year Death to the Stock Photo popped up. <a href="http://join.deathtothestockphoto.com/">http://join.deathtothestockphoto.com</a><br />
Once you sign up (just submit your email) Death to the Stock Photo email you 10 high resolution lifestyle photos at the start of every month that you can use on your website, social media and print. They also have a paid version where you get an extra 10 photos each month.<br />
<br />
Usually free photos can mean a bit of work scrolling through the bad and the good but Death to the Stock Photo really have focused on quality in photo style and usability. <br />
<br />
Each month a new photographer is featured (the above photo is from the February 2014 featured photographer Simone Anne), so there is the possibility that some months you will receive photos that don't suit your business or its style, but other months you will love and be able to use them all. The bonus is the usability quality of the image, each photo is high resolution so you are able to use them in brochures and other printed products as well as on your website and social media.<br />
<br />
If you're after more photos you can use without copyright issues it's definitely worth checking out.Joy Carrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03824494478046415635noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070221245040929383.post-92209040998854540182014-01-20T20:51:00.001+11:002014-03-17T13:15:16.874+11:00Make a profit in your business - The Business Bakery Kitchen program reviewOver the past few months I've been taking part in <a href="http://www.thebusinessbakery.com.au/kitchen/503431" target="_blank">The Business Bakery's Kitchen Cookalong</a>* as part of setting up my new business <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TigsGarden" target="_blank">Tig's Garden</a>.<br />
<br />
The Kitchen Cookalong is a paid course designed for smaller businesses to really sit down and figure out their pricing so they know how much they want to make, how much they are making, what their costs are and how to improve their overall income.<br />
<br />
I've looked into pricing a lot when talking to various businesses (service and product related), and even in my own service-based business made changes based on what is and isn't working financially. As we all know, we can't keep running a business if we're not making a profit. But the Cookalong really gets down into the nitty-gritty of where your money is going.<br />
<br />
Now while the sessions do dig deep into the details it is quite light on the work overall. Each cookalong generally takes 20-30mins, you get two Cookalongs via email a week, and a week off to catch up each month, which is great for anyone who needs to work on their business but doesn't always have a lot of time. And it doesn't matter if you still fall behind, Julia is always there to answer any questions you may have and there's a Facebook group for brainstorming with fellow Cookalong participants.<br />
<br />
The Kitchen Cookalong is a great program for small businesses who are wanting to know how much of a profit they're actually making, or want to be able to pay themselves more.<br />

Note that it may take a little while to complete this step.<br /><br />(This step may or may not appear depending on the version) To find out what folder on the server you need to select click on<br />Choose…<br />Select the appropriate folder (Most likely public_html or your domain name, but if you are unsure you should have, or be able to get, this information from your host)<br /><br />Click Next<br /><br />You may be asked about Subversion Connection, this is optional (and may or may not appear depending on the version).<br /><br />Click Next<br /><br />Enter your name and email address.<br /><br />Setup is complete!<br /><br />Now every time you open Contribute, your website will appear as an icon on the starting page which you can just click on to open.Joy Carrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03824494478046415635noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070221245040929383.post-27294380400606209532013-12-02T16:10:00.001+11:002013-12-14T16:01:56.980+11:00Christmas Gift GuideChristmas is almost here and I know there are quite a few people who are still looking for the perfect gift for a friend, family member or work colleague. During the year I got to work with an amazing and diverse group of business and know a lot of them have great products and services to give as gifts, ones that you won't necessarily find in a large department store.<br />
All these businesses are Australian and the products are designed in Australia.<br />

<br />
I get a lot of emails and phone calls telling me the person contacting me has received an invoice for their domain name or hosting and they're not sure if they should pay it because they can't remember who they originally registered with. Normally this would be easy, you get an invoice for services you're using, you pay it and life continues. But in the domain name industry it can be a bit shady. A few companies see your domain name is up for renewal in 4 months and send you a letter telling you when it's due. They also say if you swap to them they would charge a certain amount, but they lay out the letter so it looks like an invoice. We're often too busy to sit down and figure out if it is actually who we owe money to or not that we assume it's fine as it looks official, and we only pay once every year or two so remembering who we originally registered with is difficult. By paying the invoice we've allowed them to swap our domain name to them and often are charged a lot more.<br />
<br />
So this week I'll be helping you figure out what invoices you should pay when it comes to your website, and which ones are other businesses trying to get you to swap to them and charge you more.<br />
<br />
<br />
I want you to make a website folder for your filing cabinet if you don't already have one.<br />
Get two pieces of paper.<br />
<br />
The first one is for your Domain Name.<br />
Write down on it:<br />
- Your domain name <br />
- Who your domain name is registered with. This will be the company you originally asked to set it up for you. It may be an IT company like MelbourneIT or SmartyHost, or it may be a web designer like myself.<br />
- How much you pay for your domain name renewal.<br />
- How long you renew your domain name for (it's usually 1 or 2 years at a time, but there are options for more so make note).<br />
- When you last paid for your domain name renewal (this will allow you to easily work out when it's up for renewal next, eg last paid: July 2012 for 2 years means your next payment will be due July 2014). <br />
<br />
The second piece of paper is for your website hosting.<br />
Write down on it:<br />
- Who you registered your website hosting with (again it will be a hosting company or your web designer).<br />
- How much you pay for your hosting.<br />
- How long you renew your hosting for (again it's generally 1 or two years at a time).<br />
- When you last paid for your hosting renewal.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you're unsure of any of these details:<br />
Ask your web designer (if you have one) as they should be able to help you with at least some of the details. <br />
Look through your old emails and invoices<br />
Ask your accountant or look through your accounting program as they should hold the details of who you paid and how much you paid them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Next time you get an invoice for your domain name or hosting you will be able to
easily check if the company is the same company you originally
purchased from, and if the price is the same you normally charge.<br />
If the company name and price are entirely different you can ignore it.<br />
If both the company and price are the same, it's fine to pay. <br />
If
the company or price is different but the other one is the same, check
it out. It may be they have changed their prices, or the company has
changed names or merged with another company - they generally email
their customers when they do this to warn you of new invoicing details
(don't forget to update your file if they do this).<br />
<br />
If you receive an invoice and are still unsure, don't be afraid to ask someone!Joy Carrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03824494478046415635noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070221245040929383.post-2663264556947483862013-08-20T15:51:00.001+10:002013-08-20T15:51:38.229+10:00Make an easy url for your facebook pageIf you've just set up a Facebook page for your business or product you will find that the link to your page (the url people have to type in to the internet browser) is quite long and not at all memorable. It will be something like www.facebook.com/pages/yourpagename/1234567891234567 but you are able to change this to something easier like www.facebook.com/yourpagename<br />
<br />
Make sure you are logged in to Facebook then visit www.facebook.com/username<br />
Here you can set a username for your personal page (the one you see all your friends posts), and your facebook business page.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkUFcHfUrZudEvygyRriQDK77ydK1EF1TGtY0kOX9rWipkYud5rmjLlmNGHYJJJHdybmeZ5RoLui3dJZiUplYWgbN1sk2iepCFwSfTg3stHVbbgqhByguH3iuZVqUSW3Ihm6Ynnu-Vyxo/s1600/fb-username.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
First, choose your business page from the drop down menu.<br />
Type the name you would like your page to be found as.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnxDC0j2eCh-HyKc3sJhbaGChH_7WqoXFw0y4ZvsXLTtMklQE8xjyHUb62T6ax7Px6Ua6BUtCXPb3Vk8WeoThlBuJQ7CTlhtJqn4vSUFID5hq6h3W83aUmwILaWWTaPKLIy8Td6S4gQM/s1600/page-username.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Press the Check Availability button, this will check if anyone else already has the url you would like to be found for. As there are millions of profiles and business pages you may find you don't get your ideal username (I couldn't get FeralArt for example as someone already has it), so you may have to brainstorm a bit to find something appropriate and memorable.<br />
<br />
Once you've found a name available you will get a popup window, this lets you know you can't take someone elses trademark, you can't sell usernames etc. But it's also worth noting if you choose to change the username/url of your page in the future you can only do this once.<br />
<br />
Once confirmed your username is set up.Joy Carrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03824494478046415635noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070221245040929383.post-71651604090092218322013-07-11T14:01:00.000+10:002013-07-11T14:01:17.841+10:00Find out how many visitors clicked on your link.This is a short simple visual guide to looking at promotion traffic from social media to your website in Google Analytics.<br />
<br />
Your statistics can tell you useful (and interesting) information like where people have come to your website from, then you can drill down and see which promotions are working for you.<br />
For example, if you post on Facebook about a new product available on your website on Wednesday and link to it, you can jump into your statistics a few days later (giving people time to see/act and your statistics time to catch up) and see how many people viewed the product on and a few days after Wednesday coming from Facebook.<br />
<br />
Log into your Google Analytics account.<br />
In the left menu go to: Traffic Sources > Sources > All Traffic<br />
<br />

So a lot of people are writing their post and putting the link in the comments. Now this is easy if you're typing up your post and posting it straight away, but what if you've scheduled your post and won't be (or are unsure if you will be) near a computer when it automatically posts? You don't want people having to wait for you to return and remember to add the link for them.<br />
<br />
So I figured out a way to add comments to scheduled posts, there's a bit of clicking around but it is do-able, see below for a walkthrough with screenshots of the process. <br />
<br />
First <b>schedule your post as you would normally</b> (See <a href="http://feralartdesign.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/scheduled-posts-on-facebook.html">Scheduled posts on Facebook</a> if you need help with doing this).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoIGBOQ7PHNdiuCtapsPatczkviJ_ZkPUuMRBkoLWenv-2_hwc-1lgOCwAPlRvyMKaruMxyjDFMITgEfhXZfIu7b80i6JX00ApDPWuhvP2z2wFBIZx5NutOHJNQK2J1LGtWAV5jRCzQp0/s1600/scheduled-post.jpg" /></div>
<br />
Once you've scheduled your post you will get the 'Your Post Has Been Scheduled' popup confirmation. <b>Click on the 'View Activity Log' button.</b> (If you accidentally click on close you can get to your activity log by going to the top admin panel of your Facebook page and clicking on 'Edit Page > Use activity Log').<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5DfH5wNa3iJjj-qEIGJFbtKgyaYBPId-Gp-DDOwZnXgEBloWE7MJgPYod63bJjcmGTnUBLGkeQUtWnNQVTkOUjgGWfLpzhdbpQdCBr_R6AVEe4h9zhHDtJ70yVx29BiAc6s4hszf2Wx0/s1600/scheduled-post-alert.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<br />
You will be taken to your Activity Log where all your scheduled posts are at the top of the page. Find the post you want to add your comment to and <b>click on the date</b> the post is scheduled for.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_43md9dcZLCQRIgX4KRh-bAu_QOy6SFYjJsWKRQjjbRtwORYsUMl9FRm4KqLbujyMGwnmjHmRjJQMZdvBOiCyoimDxoI3zycfW0defwcfLvlsCzZvz5TBYGQm7k0rE1QqsNRsehXXfOU/s1600/scheduled-post-list.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<br />
This will open up a page with your scheduled post by itself, and have an area where you can comment. Type in the link or comment you want to go with that post and press enter. You comment is now scheduled to appear when your post appears on your Facebook page.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe837LpImIYMlV5abFywQLFFRryXIgRWLAJg06HI-CAhyphenhyphenxRByEfjWuVRlOH2pf4LuCQqDo0agLTSLQN7e_-GcFzU4LF9idMGzV-opf37nXfENT1j-RNMIlEDGmCuBEL7eI_BOqzE8vJsE/s1600/adding-your-comment.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<br />
If you want to double check and make sure your comment/link will appear with your post go back to your Activity Log. Your scheduled post will show the comment underneath it in the Scheduled Posts area.<br />
<br />

Yes, FeralArt is on Facebook too! <br />Come join me, and don't forget to introduce yourself: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/FeralArtDesign">www.facebook.com/FeralArtDesign</a>Joy Carrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03824494478046415635noreply@blogger.com70tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070221245040929383.post-53612476027280832832013-06-05T16:22:00.000+10:002013-07-05T16:06:45.686+10:00Scheduled posts on FacebookScheduling posts on Facebook can be a huge time saver as we all know going on Facebook for 5
minutes to check your page and create one post often turns into a
distraction that lasts an hour. We also might want to post something at a particular time (when a sale starts, reminder of an event etc) and either don't want to forget or know we won't be near a computer at that particular time. So you can schedule posts and photo/video from your business page (not poll questions) and know they will appear when you want them to without having to set yourself a reminder.<br />
<br />
First, click in the box where you will be typing your post. At the
bottom left corner a little clock appears (circled in the image below).
Once you click on the clock you will be able to choose the year, month,
day, hour and minute you would like your post to appear. Your ‘Post’
button will change to a ‘Schedule’ button.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Once you have scheduled your post you will get a message saying when it
will be published. If you would like to edit or cancel the post before
it appears on your timeline, you can through your admin panel by
clicking on ‘Edit Page > Use Activity Log’.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Your scheduled posts will be at the very top of this screen and gives
you the option to change the scheduled time, post now or cancel the
post.<br />

<br />
<br />
A few things to note:<br />
<ul>
<li> Scheduling does take into account where you are in the world,
so if you are posting from Victoria, Australia and ask your post to
appear at 2pm, it will appear at 2pm Victoria, Australian time.</li>
<li>You can only schedule posts up to six months in advance. </li>
</ul>

'posting block' often means when we know we haven't posted anything for a
few days we still can't think of anything!<br />
So I've put together
an inspiration list of things you can post that don't take long to
write, don't require much planning and can be used as inspiration more
than once.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Change your banner image, this gets listed as a post (people can
like and comment) and you can promote or spotlight a product/service
without needing to write any persuasive text.</li>
<li>Photo/information of your newest product.</li>
<li>Photo/information of your best seller.</li>
<li>Details of an upcoming market or event you will be at.</li>
<li>Details of a retail outlet where your product is sold.</li>
<li>A photo of where you work, for example your current shop window or workshop bench.</li>
<li>A photo of a work in progress.</li>
<li>Updates of your work in progress.</li>
<li>Link to your latest blog post.</li>
<li>Link to a past blog post that still has some great useful information.</li>
<li>Link/photo to another business you're collaborating with on a project.</li>
<li>Introduce your work helpers, be it employees, kids or pets.</li>
<li>Testimonial photos/comments (ask first if you can post them on Facebook).</li>
<li>Photo of parcels ready to be posted to their new homes.</li>
<li>Welcome message when you have a few new followers.</li>
<li>Thank you message to all your followers.</li>
<li>Reminder before you send out your newsletter encouraging people to sign up.</li>
<li>Any special offers or promotions you have running, and a reminder just before they're about to end.</li>
<li>Celebrate milestones, eg # years in business, # of Facebook likes,
getting through a huge amount of custom orders, you/employee finishing a
course to further their career.</li>
<li>Tips for your clients/customers to get the most out of the products you sell. </li>
</ul>

<br />
Hopefully this gives you some inspiration for the next time you have a posting block when updating your Facebook page.<br />
Don't forget when you have some time to brainstorm a few post ideas, once you've started writing some down more will come! <br />
Are there any other points you would add to this list?<br />
