Facebook Experience

Just wanted to share this with whoever may need to see it as I do think it is important to understand just how much Facebook can be a waste of time.
Over the past 15 years I have owned two businesses, the first of which was a bed and breakfast and the current one which is gourmet retail stores. I have been pretty diligent over the years about posting on social media for both businesses as I have always thought it was "the thing to do". Needless to say, I am becoming less and less impressed by the results there.
In my previous business I did not have all that many followers on Facebook and very infrequently would get someone seeing my ad on there. With my current business, the only way I am getting any traffic at all seeing my posts seem to be when I boost a promotion. Even then, the response is not all that great.
So my advice, is to "stay away from the light Carol Anne"! Your time can be better spent elsewhere. I hope this is helpful to anyone who sees it.
