FACEBOOK NEWSFEED PROBLEMS
– Facebook is constantly changing its algorithm
– Their platform has decided to reduce pages like mine in your newsfeed
– If you’ve found that I’m not in your newsfeed anymore, it’s entirely out of my control
– Their change is trying to force me to pay hundreds of dollars per post to HOPE that I reach you, but they make it entirely unclear how much it would cost to reach all of you for each post
– I would become bankrupt if I boosted every post for $200, twice a day: that would be $12000/month, and it still would not guarantee that I would reach all of you. They make it very ambiguous.
– The days of me automatically reaching you in newsfeed are just about gone
– Until I can figure out how to design and afford my own smartphone app, which I am slowly working on, I need you to visit my FB page directly if you either get no notifications from me, or if I don’t show up in your newsfeed. I am posting every single day, usually at least twice a day.

YOUR BEST SOLUTION
BOOKMARKING: Bookmark my page and visit it daily, even if I’m not in newsfeed and even if you don’t get notifications.
Please help me: I know I’m asking for an extra click, and for you to have to think to do it, but I reliably post every day, and until I can figure out how to solve these newsfeed issues, I’m asking you to work with me.

OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO
Interact: They supposedly still do give merit to posts that people like, share, and comment on. Please do that.
Settings: Make sure that under the “Following” tab next to the “Liked” tab, that you set In Your Newsfeed settings to “See First” and Notifications settings to “On”
Then Reset Your Settings: Unlike my page, logout of Facebook, log back in, re-like my page, and reset your settings as mentioned above to try and refresh the system, though that doesn’t always work

BE SURE TO WHITELIST ME
This wicked important – if you don’t want to miss out on my content, then make sure to add dave@westernmassweather.com to your email contacts right now. This is called “whitelisting” and it makes sure that you won’t miss my emails. If you use GMail, you can learn how to do it here

Why do I ask you to do this? Because sometimes my emails are mistakenly marked as spam. Unfortunately, if this happens and you miss out on the email notifications, my content won’t reach you.
