Facebook Tip – Your Listed Email Address

Posted on by

When people visit your Facebook page, if they click the About link under your icon photo in the header they will be taken to a page that displays various information you have entered about yourself: schools attended, employers, contact information, etc.

How to Ensure Fans See Your Facebook Page Post

Posted on by

Now that Facebook admits that it does not put your band/business/etc. page’s posts into the feeds of every person who “liked” your page in order to see them (unless you pay FB to do so), here’s a way to get better visibility for your page posts:

  1. Set up a Twitter account for your band/business/etc. if you haven’t already.
  2. Encourage FB fans to follow your Twitter account as well.
  3. Use FB/Twitter integration to auto-tweet your FB post.

From my observations, the auto-tweet appears in Twitter even when a page’s FB post does not appear in my FB news feed. And if the FB post is longer than 140 characters the auto-tweet includes a link back to the actual FB post, so your fans know to look at your page to see the rest of the post.
