Facebook....the largest site in the world. Great for individuals & businesses. To a point.
If you've been around Facebook for awhile, you may have been placed into 'FB jail' at least once or twice. You are basically put in the corner for a time out for a day or so....until recently.
See....part of tagging, digiscrapping, & designing is advertising. There are thousands of advertising groups on Facebook geared just for this very popular hobby. Facebook has been increasing the jail time for the amount of advertising that we must do. People getting hit with it more often, getting placed in jail for things that don't go against their code of conduct or rules for using it, and even jail time for posting blog links in the ad. Up until recently, it was a couple days....and now people are getting restricted for 3 months!
Obviously this is ridiculous.
In looking for a feasible route, we found MeWe. It's like Facebook, but without all the crap & restrictions of Facebook. It has the option of upgrading to a paid account & a page is a paid subscription ($1.99). But don't let that deter you...you can do all you need to do with a free account.
We have begun creating groups, a community of taggers & designers, and hope to build what is already on Facebook.
If you need a hassle-free advertising platform, please check it out!!!!
