This past week I had another meeting with our Century Link representative to better our social networking skills and advance our name to the greater US. She taught me how to make a personalized URL for our Facebook page so it is more easily accessible. Instead of having a long painstaking mash-up of random letters and numbers following Facebook.com/… we now have it set up so anyone that is looking for our page can now just type in WestMetroAviation following the base URL (www.facebook.com/). This will help anyone who is trying to access our page that hasn’t “liked” it yet. Therefore making it easier for the rest of the nation to find our page in hope that more and more people will like and follow the West Metro Aviation page. She also went about showing me how to “like” things on Facebook through our Twitter page. This will also help link our name to several other pages that will overall help our name spread amongst the aviation community. The more people that see our name, whether on our page or not, the faster the West Metro Aviation name will spread and be heard about. Which goes into the next segment of the meet I had with Century Link. They showed me how to tag other page’s names in the posts that we make. Let’s say we want to get the attention of the John Klatt Airshow fans and followers we can make a post on our West Metro page that has a “tag” of John Klatt Airshow’s. That whole post will show up on our wall and theirs. This will overall help both their pages and ours be heard and seen. Since we have been working with Century Link and learning how to better our social networking, we have gotten 31 likes to the West Metro Aviation Page in the past couple months! Hoping this blow up to becoming hundreds of likes within the next year. Will Century Link's help I believe this will be possible.
