For what I do for a living, keep in touch with friends, event happenings, costuming and interest groups I keep in touch with, learn from.

Like any platform, to be used wisely. The clients I have generated via FB keep coming back to me as they post photos of what I have done for them, sending referrals to me as well. The best form of advertising is word of mouth and photos.
