Facebook Groups, Pages & Other Facebook Tips
Facebook Groups, Facebook Pages & Other Facebook Tips
I’ve taught Facebook marketing. I’ve blogged about it. I’ve helped businesses with their Facebook presence. I’ve bought ebooks, I’ve spent hours in the HELP! section and reading many blog posts but you know what? I should’ve just bought Joan Stewart’s Facebook product instead.
When I first started reading it I didn’t think that much. Then I went to the handouts at the end and that is exactly what I was looking for.
I’m printing it off and keeping it as a reference. Even the best teachers forget how to do things on Facebook. This will be my reference from now on. It’s up-to-date and helpful. Other people might know just as much but Joan has a way of making the information accessible.
I’ve bought other guides and read many blogs and this has more helpful, clear instructions than ANYWHERE ELSE I’ve looked.
Why?
Because it’s written in an easy conversational tone.
Because it’s easy to skim if you’re impatient like me and just want to get to the information you DON’T already know.
You learn how to do these things on Facebook:
- Announce on your profile that you created a Page and how to find and link to that Page.
- Keep up with what’s happening on Facebook - I should’ve thought of that!
- Facebook group or fan Page? and why
- How to find your pages once they’re set up (it’s confusing!)
- Delete “friends” without them knowing it (we’ve all wanted to do this!)
- Get good content for your Facebook Page
- Use the tagging feature
- Quickly learn how to do something you don’t remember or know how to do on Facebook
- Use events as a promotion tool for more than just events
- Avoid getting overwhelmed by Facebook
And…
What are “highlights” and how do they work?
Adding, deleting and customizing tabs.
How to get your URLs to promote off of Facebook (this can be tricky)
Facebook badges step by step
Examples of effective pages and how to set one up
How to use the “share” button
Promote other people’s fan pages (what goes around comes around - I’m sure you’d do this for me, wouldn’t you?)
Making your event invites look nice
Import your other social network sites onto Facebook
At the end she gives a lot of links to other internet marketing resources. Skip to the end first. It has the notes with screenshots.
Missed Opportunities - even if you know a lot this reinforces and reminds you of key parts of Facebook marketing.
My missed opportunity on Facebook?? Video! Did you know that when you update your wall, click the video link and you can record directly from your laptop webcam or upload a YouTube video.
So my post sounds like a sales page and yet I’m sincere when I say I recommend that you buy this right now, print it out and read it.
