A few weeks ago I wrote to you about the anti-professional wine bar I like to frequent near my seaside beach town lair.
The guy who does business on HIS terms.
Has no problem kicking out would-be customers on a dime.
And, even goes so far as to put “reserved” signs on *all* his tables so that if someone he deems unqualified to dine or drink wine in his establishment enters, he tells them the tables are all full, and to scram.
Anyway, I take a similar attitude for my private Facebook group.
Once in a while a POS spammer gets in.
But, lately, I’ve been putting safeguards in to keep the number low.
For example, I don’t let in riff-raff like this:
- Anyone who is an obvious spammer/scammer (i.e. photo of a slutty girl who just joined fb yesterday)
- No photo or a photo of some dorky object, cartoon, logo, yada yada yada
- They don’t speaky English or have some weird name of bizarre characters
- People I simply don’t like (for any reason, or no reason at all)
- Known trolls and agitators
- People who have joined dozens of other groups and are just loiterers
- And the list goes on
And you know what?
So far, doing so has helped keep a lot of the riff-raff out of my valuable group. (Where I often share ideas, tips, strategies, ads, etc that you’ll never see just being on my free email list or by reading my blog.)
What?
You want in my free private Facebook group?
And, you insist you aren’t riff-raff?
Well, you’re welcome to try.
But, just know, there are reserved signs on all my tables just in case…
Here’s where it’s at:
