Change to Facebook Users’ News Feed, Premium Video Ads

Just when you thought there weren't any more changes to Facebook, another change comes along -- premium video ads to the News Feed.

The initial Facebook premium video ads from selectadvertisers run for 15 seconds. They automatically play without sound as soon as it appears on the user’s screen. When the video is tapped on, it expands to full-screen with sound.

The company had been testing these premium video ads for several months since it was announced in December, but the official limited introduction roll out is here now with a concentration of high-quality campaigns.

Facebook plans to move slowly and cautiously with its premium video ads so as to get a feel from users on the experience, and not to turn users away, according to Facebook’s Business blog. It’s a much different approach than has been seen in the past.

The introduction of premium video ads will help Facebook bring in additional revenue. The ads reportedly will cost anywhere from $1 million to $2.5 million per day. It would tap into television-marketing budgets of advertisers.

Facebook hopes to present advertisers with the features of scheduling ads for specific days and times as well as for reach and frequency.

There are about 1.2 billion members on Facebook globally, and about 30.5 million daily active users in the U.S. The video ads will make an interesting sell to advertisers, but Facebook will have to see how it plays out for users.

The company has retained a video-advertising evaluation company to review video ads to ensure its users see high quality ads. Ad campaigns are reviewed for “watchability, meaningfulness and [for] emotional resonance.”

TOPICS: BUSINESS, FACEBOOK, HOW TO, JOBS, LINKEDIN, PINTEREST, SOCIAL MEDIA, TUMBLR,TWITTER, WORK & PLAY
Searches: Use that search bar to look for terms that apply to the job you want. For best results, type in words like "jobs," "hiring" and other specifics that apply to your desired field and location; for example, "writer" and "New York City."
Hashtags: Typing #jobs and #hiring will result in a plethora of tweets from those seeking employees. Employers who want to cast a wide net will often tweet out job applications, with accompanying hashtags.
Tweet often: Though it depends on your career of choice, tweeting is a great way to network with like-minded folks in your profession. Follow businesses and people you're interested in and don't be afraid to send them the occasional tweet. (On that note, make sure your Twitter account is polished and professional).
Follow away: There are dozens and dozens of Twitter accounts dedicated to posting job applications. Go to the search bar and type in "jobs," then click "People" on the left-hand side. You'll soon see all the Twitter accounts with "jobs" in the username and can gleefully press the "Follow" button.
"Like" some pages: Most companies strive for dynamic social media presences, and Facebook Pages are engagement 101. By "Liking" them, you can get daily updates about their activity. Plus, they will likely post links to available job applications.
Private/Public: Take a thorough look at your privacy settings on Facebook, and make sure you know exactly how others view your Timeline. However, you should consider setting your work and education info public, enabling others to see your professional history.
Stay updated: Make sure all of your work and education info is up to date and reflects your current position and past experience.
Add "Professional Skills:" A few months ago, Facebook added a "Professional Skills" portion to the "About" section. Underneath work and education, add skills you've acquired, optimizing your professional appeal.
Connect: Unlike Facebook, it's a little less creepy to connect with strangers on LinkedIn, because everyone there is looking for networking opportunities. Connect to people who have careers you're interested in, and search around for those who might only be one degree away from you. For inspiration, check out the member stories portion of LinkedIn's blog, where users share their success anecdotes about networking through the site.
Jobs Board: Not only does the site provide you with advice and connections, but it also has a jobs board highlighting available opportunities in nearly every field.
Endorsements and recommendations: There's a portion of your profile dedicated to glowing recommendations and endorsements from your peers. Try to get as many as you can, and your page's likability will instantly boost.
Share more: According to LinkedIn's Career Expert, Nicole Williams, sharing articles or content with your network boosts your chances 10 times for getting contacted by a recruiter. When you share content, it proves your knowledge in the industry.
List all the things: Your profile is 12 times more likely to be viewed by a hiring manager if you have a detailed list of work experience, Williams says. The more robust your profile is, the more experienced and hirable you look.
Search tags: In the search bar, look for tagged terms like "hiring" and "jobs." It's a bit harder to separate the wheat from the chaff in the tag-happy blogging community, but you'll still be able to find plenty of cool companies advertising open jobs via Tumblr.
Start Tumbling: This is especially important if you're the creative type. A Tumblr account attuned to your interests, and full of your own original content, automatically ups your unique appeal to employers. In addition, a good Tumblr following can lead to job offers from employers who happened to stumble upon your site.
Pin your résumé: Tired of the standard, one-sheet format? Use a Pinterest board to "pin" your résumé. You can highlight certain aspects of your experience and add photos and links. See Rachael G. King, a social media manager at Sidecar who created a "living résumé."
