blog or facebook

[danchez]

Just curious how many people have one or the other or do you have both?!?

If you feel up to it, tell why you have what you have.

I have two blogs and a FB page I haven't really set up and don't really direct people to.

The importance of each kinda varies on what you are trying to attract and how much work you are willing to put into it.

Don't do either...well that's not entirely true I was on FB for about twenty minutes...just not my type of stuff

[brewercm]

No option for none.
Put me down for none. If I want to talk to anyone I either know how to get hold of them or the other way around.

FB isn't my cup of tea, im surprised i thought i was the only one. On the other hand, the blog isn't a bad idea as i personally have a bunch of blogs that i do read.

Blogs and Facebook are two different things so you can't really pick just one.

I use facebook if I want a more targeted communique. The single best thing with facebook is the tagging feature. I can tag anyone that I am friends with on my status updates and uploaded photos. If their friends see the photos we made I get instant recognition. And if those friends comment or like the photos their friends (the ones I don't have access to) get to see my work and so on. It's very viral and very fast.

I use blogs as my personal PR machine. It's one-directional and geared towards SEO. You can't show up on searches with facebook alone so you still need a blog. Also, who knows if facebook goes down at least you still have a way to communicate with your clients.

I hate blogging. Maybe when I have more content, but for the time being, I'm a FB person.

I have both. I use the blog for sneak peeks and for specials or contests that I run. I have it set up that I cans share my blog posts on my FB page. Then I have a fan page, where I post the watermarked pics from the session, after they have paid for their prints. I then have a personal page that I use to keep up with what is going on in my clients lives. I have a client, whose Mom lives in New Zealand. He posted that she was fine, but her house is in a shambles. I told him that I was glad she was okay and that I would replace the prints that she bought at Christmas!

I have both. My blog tells a story, my facebook is more of a portfolio. I post my blog links on FB. Most of my traffic to the blog comes from my 600 FB fans. It's a great way to get out there and be seen.

I don't have a blog right now, although I think it is important to have one, but I do use FB a lot. For those of you running a photography biz, especially weddings or seniors, it would really be crazy not to have a FB biz site. First, it's free. Second, if you use it right, it's a fantastic business tool. Half of the referrals that come to me have been because they saw my images on one of their friends' personal pages from their wedding, bridal, etc. You really should utilize this free tool.

No blog but Facebook. FB is working way too good to be left ignored. It is a free and yet very effective advertising tool.
