WordPress CMS Websites

Do you know what software was used to build your website? Many business owners don’t, but most prefer a website powered by a Content Management System (CMS). A CMS website is the type that the average person is able to update and maintain without having to have special techie skills.

This morning as I attended my weekly BNI Networking Excellence chapter meeting, we discussed ways to support each others’ businesses online. Craig Collier (owner of Fitness Together and amazing muscle master) mentioned his FB business page. This sparked discussion about the easiest ways to share the our page links with each other.

We have a great private Facebook Group which allows us to interact and share information with each other other. We could post page links there, but there is an even easier way to notify friends and family that you have a Facebook business page and get support/likes for your page. If you just post a link on your personal page, or add to a group, people who have email notifications turned off may miss it all together.

The best chance of getting a response is to send a message directly to your friends asking for support of your page via “like”.

A few quick steps and screen shots are included below for your viewing pleasure…
