Status King Facebook Obama Bailout Ads – Costly
Filed Under Business Ideas, Resources, Principles, etc., Freedom, Government, Politics, etc.
I’ve spent a lot of time on Facebook recently because my family and I launched an app that helps you find a funny Facebook status for your friend feed and then print the most clever Facebook statuses onto a T-Shirt.
Although some think social media is worthless for business, we opted to create a business that lives inside the culture of Facebook rather than try to capitalize on poor-performing ads I’m viewing constantly on the right side of Facebook. The visitor loyalty rates are astounding and the T-Shirt sales growing, and so it seems that you can make money with social media.
While spending this time on Facebook, I’ve noticed changes in the right ads that have made me sick about the state of our nation. Our debt, our “future money” disquised as government bailout money “from Obama” has crowded out all real innovation and commerce on the ads. This screenshot only captures two of the three ads on the page that were ALL take-advantage-of-the-bailout ads. It also sports a status about the bailout. Oh, Amerika…what has happened? Where is your honor, self-respect and personal responsibility for living beyond your means? (the “k” is intentional, think immigrant)
If we only understood how costly those Facebook ads will be to our country.

I think this is working for you because your business in part of facebook. That’s not using social media to drive your current business, that’s designing a business specifically for the social media people. Awesome.
What’s good about the social media network is that they multitask capabilities to promote your business while also enjoying its features to cooperate/socialize with friends, colleagues and business partners through multiple messaging and posting options.
It therefore works for business!
