Facebook has features you can set to echo posts from other services, so it's possible to have content there with very minimal effort. That's how I originally set up my FB page. I only started going direct to FB and spending time there when it became a networking hub for me -- I was surprised to see how many of my professional contacts were on there, so that boosted my interest.

That reminds me of a special seasonal activity: the virtual shopping fair. Several people do a post where they invite all their friends to list what they sell, so other folks in the audience can shop with them. It's a lot of fun and really boosts promotion. These were mine from 2009 and 2008:

You can see the 2008 one worked a lot better; the timing wasn't as good in 2009. I'll probably do it again this year too.
