Facebook page tweaks

Today I spent some time editing the Facebook page. When I first created the page, I was still neck deep in editing and formatting the Kindle and Print version of the book... so many of the things were left blank or skimmed over. Hopefully these changes will help bring some naturally occurring organic folks. Some of the things I've done, in no particular order:

  1. I updated the page so that it has a proper user name (http://www.facebook.com/ParanormalAmerica) which got rid of the ridiculous long number after the name. Made for some ugly link mouse-overs.
  2. I added some Genre categories: Paranormal, Ghosts, Spirits, Aliens, UFOs, and Unexplained Phenomena. 
  3. Added Topics: Paranormal, Ghosts, and UFOs. Originally, these would only pop up as Interest Pages and I wasn't sure what purpose they served. I thought it was because the page had just been created and didn't have the ability to create my own or set them. Hopefully, this will help pull some organic traffic to our page.
  4. Added J&M Publishing as the publisher; and:
  5. Added website link to J&M Publishing.
  6. Updated the cover page to be a bit more interesting (or so I think, anyway). The original had the same flag theme as I've used everywhere which was also a very early creation and very dull. Perhaps its time to start expanding the concept and putting more mystery into the images. Faint faces, shadows, etc. People are interested in the unexplained after all.

Were sitting at 253 page "Likes" as of this writing on October 24, 2013. The goal is at least 1,000 before we start trying to really push promotions - though we do have a couple going already to get our feet wet and have a baseline of interest.

Our overall sales are less than 25 at this time, but I know we'll get there! :)
