Well, i agree with you. When I wrote this post (a long time ago), it was certainly true, but now?

It’s still important, but I believe that the new groups are even more important.

But.

What has become even more important, because of all the information (and all the invitations) we receive is trust and building a community of followers, a tribe. You want your messages and your invitations to be read, that’s why we need people to trust us and expect something fantastic.

I simply can’t get over the sheer volume of events I get asked to attend, to the point that I can’t manage them all. Being overwhelmed by FB event invites is just about as effective as not being invited at all.

Perhaps things have changed. I can’t count on the number of RSVPs for an event as any sort of accurate accounting of who will attend, and have to resort to other tactics to ensure attendance. Are you really sure FB events is as effective you say? I’m simply not buying it anymore :/

I recently posted a 10,000 step challenge to all my friends and family using Facebook events. So far I have 6 confirmed attendees.

I love the fact that I can use Facebook Events to advertise. It is a great source of free traffic. There are many different things you can post. Thank you SlyMarketing for this great idea.
