Can I Save Facebook Videos to Watch Later?

Picture

Whether your Facebook feed is made up mostly of your friends and family, organizations you support or businesses you like, chances are these days it’s full of lots of video. That’s not surprising. Facebook users are posting almost twice as much video to Facebook these days as as they did last year!

In any given scroll through my feed, I might see a video dealing with current events, one or two from a friend’s daily life, several of cats or dogs doing funny things… You know how it is.

But we’re busy, and can’t possibly find time to watch all of these videos while we should be working. Fortunately, Facebook’s got us covered.

Next time you see a video you know you want to watch, but just don’t have the time, simply “save it for later.” Go to the top right hand corner of the video and click on the dropdown menu (the v looking carrot).

Then simply choose “Save video.”

Save Facebook Video

That’s it, your video is now in your saved folder.

But where’s my Facebook shared folder?
Go back to your home page. On the left side of the screen, you’ll see your “favorites.” It’s in there.

Facebook Saved Folder

Once you are in your Saved folder, you can watch, share, and/or delete it.

Facebook Has a Profanity Filter

Picture

Enough F*#%ing Profanity!

An engaged brand page on Facebook is a wonderful thing, it is a sign that people are engaging with you and your brand. They want to comment on your posts and share their thoughts about your content. It’s a positive sign that you are getting into their feeds.

But an engaged page can also be a lot of work.

There are many kinds of comments that you might not want visible on your page:

  • Posts advertising a competitor
  • Posts talking down about your product or brand
  • Posts from trolls and other haters

Maintaining the comments on a truly engaged Facebook page is like tending to a garden. You need to give it regular attention, pulling weeds early and supplying plenty of sunshine and love to your flowers (supporters).

But sometimes pulling those weeds can feel like a full time job. Did you know that your Facebook page has a profanity filter to help nip those weeds in their annoying buds?

That’s right. Facebook understands that not all pages approve of F bombs on their page. If you are selling baby food, there is probably never a situation where you need someone coming by and dropping profanity in the comments (not necessarily true if you own a bar). Turn on the filter and Facebook will prevent profanity from being posted to your page in the first place.

Okay, But How Do I Turn It On?
It’s simple! Go to your brand page. Click on “settings” (next to “help,” in the top right corner). Scroll about 2/3s of the way down the page and you’ll see “Profanity Filter.” It’s most likely set to “Turned Off.”

Picture

Click “edit” and Facebook gives you three options:

  • Off
  • Medium
  • Strong

Medium is going to filter out some words; strong is going to filter out more. Pick which one is appropriate for your brand and enjoy your profanity-less page.

But my problem isn’t with profanity
As mentioned, profanity is not the only thing you may want to keep from your page.

Let’s imagine that every time you post about your baby food, some industrious troll comes by and shares with your reader that your mashed carrots aren’t as good as those of your competitors. You can delete the comment, or even block the troll. But what if many people keep sharing comments about your competitor’s product? It’s simple.

Go back to settings, and right above “Profanity Filter,” you will find “Page Moderation.”

Picture

When you click “Edit,” you will have an opportunity to add in any words that you want Facebook to prevent from being posted to your page.

Maybe it’s the name of your competitor’s or simply a word people associate with your brand which you find unflattering. Whatever it is: if you don’t want it on your page, keep it from your page!

Scheduling a Post on Facebook

Facebook has removed this feature. You can now schedule posts through Facebook.com/CreatorStudio or through 3rd party tools.
​I use a tool called Publer.io. Here’s a blog post where I walked through 10 reasons why I chose it as my go to social scheduler.

If you run a Facebook brand page, there’s a decent chance that your page takes the same breaks as you. If you don’t work weekends, your page probably doesn’t either. That is a big mistake.

Your followers don’t stop paying attention on the weekend—if anything they are spending more time online. You can’t just walk away Friday afternoon and assume that your Social Media networks will be just as engaged on Monday morning.

Does it sound like I am telling you to never take a break again? I’m not.

Rather I’m offering you a simple way to set up all of your posts on Friday (or any other day) to run on their own until you get back. This way, the next time you take a (much deserved) break, your Facebook page doesn’t have to join you.

The solution is: scheduling.

Go ahead and write out your post, exactly as you want it to run. Then take a look at the “publish” button. Notice the small downward arrow to its right? Click it.

Picture

What you’ll see is a dropdown menu with three options: “Schedule,” “Backdate” and “Save Draft.” (More on the latter two in a moment.)

Picture

Click on schedule, and you will see a pop-up box that looks like this:

Picture

Pick the date and time that you want your post to go live (make sure you pay attention to AM vs. PM and time zone!). Then sit back and let the engagements come rolling in.

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE TAKING A BREAK, DOESN’T MEAN EVERYONE ELSE WILL BE

This is a VERY important point to remember. If you are a business and you are scheduling your posts for the weekend on Friday evening, you may have fans or customers (or trolls!) responding. Not every comment needs an immediate response. But if you are posting regularly throughout the weekend (through the beauty of scheduled posts), and your customers are getting ignored, they are going to notice.

There is no magic formula. But set it and forget it is never going to complete work to engage a Social Media audience. If you are posting a few times a day through scheduling, maybe check the page once or twice throughout the day. You can do it right on your phone. Depending on the size of your audience, you can also have Facebook notify you anytime you get a comment. This will help you decide which comments merit an immediate response which ones can wait until Monday morning.

One other note: it can look VERY inappropriate to be posting about a product or service if there has been an event going on that has everyone talking. If you are trying to sell shoes while everyone else is talking about a shooting or a plane crash (or the US women’s soccer team winning the World Cup), you probably won’t be putting forth the image you want. Just pay attention. You can stop, edit or reschedule your posts from running at any time.

HOW TO STOP, EDIT OR RESCHEDULE A POST

If you have any posts scheduled, at the top of your wall you’ll see a message that looks like this:

Picture

Click on “See post” and it will take you to a list of all of your scheduled posts. From there you can edit, delete or reschedule as needed.

The other two options in your dropdown menu were Backdate and Save Draft. Backdate will post something to your page anytime in the past that you want. It works just like a regular post: you write it, set it up and then instead of posting or scheduling in the future, you can backdate to the past.

Save Draft puts the post in your saved file so that you can come back and work on it—and post it—when you are ready.

If you have any questions drop me a note, ask them in the comments or hit me up on Twitter: @jlemonsk or @ReverbalC.

It’s Okay To Use More Than One Browser

Picture

I live on my computer. It’s where I work, listen to music, watch tv, connect with friends, follow the news… My computer serves countless functions in both my personal and my professional life.

And I love it.

But it can also get complicated. How can I ensure that the tweet I am trying to send for a client doesn’t accidentally go out through my own account (or MUCH WORSE – that my own tweet doesn’t go out through theirs)? How do I check both my personal email and my work email without mixing up the two and losing track of sender? How about engaging with YouTube while also being logged into the Google Apps through a separate, professional setting?

Not having a work computer means combining your personal and work systems in endless ways. But keeping the different components of your life distinct is as easy as… using more than one internet browser.

I for one use Firefox for my “real” life. Chrome is my work browser. When additional projects come in that need not just their own space, but their own house altogether, it’s time to load up Safari.

This system has long kept me sane and relaxed, even when things start piling up. Try it yourself and let me know what you think.

Pro tip: If you have a Mac, you can actually create different “desktops.” Get these setup and watch how quickly things start settling in to focus!

A Foolproof Way To Gain New, Quality Followers on Social Media (For Free!)

Picture

People often ask how they can get new followers on social media. There are many shortcuts and tricks. But as with most things in life, the things worth having are worth earning. Buying followers from Facebook farms will not help you, your organization or your brand. It will actually hurt you and your ability to engage with the people that actually care what you have to say.That being said, if you have money to invest, it is definitely worth running a Like campaign on Facebook and/or a Follower campaign on Twitter. For as little as a dollar a day (or as much money as you choose), Facebook and Twitter will promote your page to people that will actually be excited to learn about you.

You’re probably wondering: what’s the difference between buying followers and paying Facebook to find you followers? It’s simple: the latter will be real people. The former will not. The latter will care about you and your brand. The former will not (since they aren’t people, it’s hard for them to care about anything!).

If you are interested in running a Like or Follower campaign, drop me a line. I can run one for you or your organization, or I can teach you how to run one on your own.

But none of this is the point of this blog post. The point of this blog post is to gain followers without spending any money. In fact, the tip I am sharing here will (barely) even cost you any time.

It’s a simple, straightforward, easy task. If you want people to follow you on social media… ask them!

At your next event (it can be anything from a gala or a dinner to a concert or an art opening), take a moment and remind everyone that if they like you, your organization, your music, your art, your work… they should follow you on Facebook, Twitter and wherever else you can be found online.

Pro tip: Instead of asking them to follow you when they get home, get everyone’s attention and then ask them to take out their phones. Encourage them to follow you right there on the spot.

Not only will you gain followers, they will be the best kinds of followers: fans who actually care what you have to say. After all, who is going to care more about what you say online than the people who spent time/effort/money to join you at an event?

Now comes the hard part: keeping them engaged and interested. That takes a concerted strategy. If you don’t have one, you should. Let’s create one.

Twitter’s Direct Messaging Just Got a Whole Lot Longer

A tweet is a 140 characters. You can add links, pictures, even videos. But you get 140 characters to express yourself, no more.

The same used to be true of a direct message (DM) sent through Twitter. No more. As of this week, Twitter is allowing users to really open up and speak their mind… so long as their mind’s thoughts are directed at a single individual.

Twitter has officially raised the character limit of a DM from 140 to 1000.

It makes sense (in the opinion of someone sporadically who uses DMs). I don’t worry as much about making everything retweetable or even digestible in a single DM, the way that I would in a tweet. I just hit send when I’m almost out of characters, no matter where I am in the sentence (I personally will not send a DM mid-word, although I am sure plenty of folks do). Then I just keep typing.

If you have never connected with someone through a DM, give it a shot. Not sure who to write? Drop me a line and start enjoying all of that roomy new messaging real estate.

One note: if you try through your phone or tablet and you are still limited to your 140 characters, you probably just need to update Twitter on your device. If you do that and it still doesn’t solve the problem, drop me a (short) DM, or an email, and we can brainstorm it together.

Happy long-form messaging.

An Israel Itinerary for Scott Walker

Picture

This Sunday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker will follow the lead set by so many American presidential hopefuls before him by visiting Israel. He’s not bringing press with him. Apparently he’s not going to talk — he’s going to listen.

According to a campaign spokesperson, Walker is “interested in hearing firsthand Israel’s concerns about the future of our alliance and identifying ways to restore the ruptured bonds between our two countries. He is very concerned about the rise of Iran, the spread of radical Islamic terrorism, and the turmoil in Syria and Iraq, and is interested in understanding the views of the Israelis on how we confront these shared challenges.”

The campaign has not yet released an itinerary for the trip, so I’ve have taken the liberty of drafting a list of places the governor should visit if he wants to begin to understand this fascinating Middle Eastern ally and its complicated and diverse people.

Read the itinerary here.

1000 Days Between: From Corporate America to South America

Picture

Over the last year, I had the pleasure of working with Dan Perry on the editing of his first book.

It’s called 1000 Days Between: From Corporate America to South America and it is about Dan’s epic journey to change his life and his outlook by backpacking around South America… for two and a half years!

He spends two weeks on a canoe on a river between Brazil and Bolivia, he takes a cruise to Antarctica, he mountain bikes down the world most dangerous road… and so, so much more.

The book is fun, exciting, inspiring and a great read. I can’t recommend it enough. Looking to change your outlook on life? This book will help. Just looking for some fun reading, this book can fill that role as well.

It is available now on Amazon in both ebook and paper form.

You can also contact him up through his website, 1000daysbetween.com, to discuss buying an autographed copy.
