Facebook Tip – Add Your Business Page As Your Place Of Work

November 10, 2011

Adding Your Facebook Business Page As Your Place Of Employment One thing I’ve noticed that several of my self-employed Facebook friends don’t take advantage of the full benefit of their Facebook profile. If you have your own business page on Facebook and you are self-employed it can be connected to your profile. How? In the new Timeline view or old profile view you want to go to your info page to update your employment information. Edit your Work and Education information and enter your business page under “Where have you worked?” box. Please note: Facebook has changed how your Profile information is displayed to others. Those visiting your profile have to click on “About” first before they can see the “About You” information and your place of employment. However the instructions below still work to add your self-owned businesses fan page as your place of employment. Book: Promote Your Business or Cause Using Social Media – A Beginner’s Handbook (3rd Edition) [Kindle Edition] – Just $.99 Cents When you start typing a list of business pages you follow will start to populate. Keep typing until your business page shows so you can select it. List will populate as you type the name of your business page Add information about your business including your position, city/town a description of your business and the time you have been in business or self-employed. Then the “Save Changes” and “Done Editing” buttons when you are finished. Down below that you can “Add A Project” to let others know what you’ve been up to. I listed my book and then added the 2nd Edition when that was launched back in September. Now when someone visits your personal profile and they hover over your employment information they can “Like” your business page right from your personal profile. How cool is that? Feel free to comment if you have any questions and if you found this helpful. By Dennis J. Smith Author of “Promote Your Business or Cause Using Social Media – A Beginner’s Handbook” [divider]

Facebook Tip: Why should I convert my profile to a Fan Page?

June 16, 2011

Facebook profiles are meant for individual people, they aren’t suited to meet your business needs. Pages offer more robust features for organizations, businesses, brands, and public  figures, which you can learn more about here. Further, maintaining a profile for anything other than an individual person is a violation of Facebook’s Terms of Use. If you don’t convert your profile to a Page, you risk permanently losing access to the profile and all of your content. It’s not worth dealing with that so make sure you setup pages the correct way.  My book Promote Your Business Or Cause Using Social Media ““ A Beginner’s Handbook covers setting up fan pages. Here are a few of the benefits on why you need a fan page and not a profile page for your business. Facebook Insights My favorite thing about pages is Facebook Insights which allows you to view your page stats. Page admins can view information on likes, comments, like source, user demographics and more. Find out what countries and cites your users are coming from along with their age and sex. You can find out more about Facebook Insights here on Facebook or search on Google for Facebook Insights. Download the Facebook Insights Guide in PDF for more specifics. Custom Landing Page This is the biggest reason why you should be using a fan page instead of profile pages. With custom landing pages you have control over content design on your fan pages. You can create custom “Welcome” pages and tabs depending on your needs.  You can also reveal exclusive content only to those who “Like” your page.  With iFrames you can create pages that behave just like a web page. That means you can create content using Flash, html and other web technologies.  See how others are using custom fan pages to create exciting content. Get Instant Like With a profile page potential fans have to wait for you to approve them as a friend.  There is no wait with a business fan page because all they have to do is "Like" the page. Ready?
