You all use Facebook right? I’ve been using it since day 1 when my blog started. I don’t think I’ve ever missed putting a post on! :) BUT, what I didn’t know about is something called a landing page.
And now enters Myra. My hero, my mentor, my friend who is way smarter than me and still happily puts up with my stupid questions daily. Yes, daily. She and I have become really great friends. We chat all day long, every day. Well not ALL day long, but you know what I mean. She’s a savvy gal, I’m not. She’s a great friend and a real friend. And she’s helped me with my blog…a TON. Sometimes it may seem some bloggers are just out there for themselves and won’t share any of their information or tips for success. But not Myra. She’s always been extremely helpful and passes along valuable information, and I like to do the same for all of you too. If you ever have any questions about anything please feel free to email me because I’m an open book! :)
Oh yea, this post is about Facebook. Maybe I should dedicate an entire post to Myra one day. :)
Anyway, Facebook. There’s this thing called a landing page and apparently it’s really good to have for whatever reason. It just gives the new people that come to your Facebook page something pretty and interesting to look at, and gives a sampling of what your site has to offer. And if the description sounds like something people may enjoy reading, they are likely to click and like your page. Yay for new fans!
And now when someone visits my Facebook page for the first time and are not a fan yet, this is what they will see.
Awesome right??!
And then AFTER they like my page this is what they will see next.
And those are your fan and non-fan landing pages! Isn’t that cool? I can’t get over it. Your fans can subscribe to your blog, follow you on Twitter and Pinterest (and whatever else you choose to add), all right there from Facebook.
All of this is under the welcome tab on my Facebook page, like this:
But since y’all are fans already, I think you will just see the “Thanks” image above and all the other info, if you were to go and view my little welcome tab.
Now for the details….
Myra did ALL of this for me (and yes, I’m paying her because it’s a lot of work and time consuming). She created those images, inserted the links, and walked me through everything on Skype when it was time for me to insert the code. It was quite hilarious I have to say.
So what I’m trying to say is that I have NO clue how to do any of this if you were to ask me. I couldn’t even tell you where to begin. And that’s why I’ll just send you to Myra’s site so you can contact her if you want, and if you’re like me and want it done for you, maybe y’all can work something out.
And I know you all are dying to try out the landing page to see how it works, so go and like Myra on Facebook because hers is set up like mine too! :) And don’t forget to like mine too if you haven’t already. *giggle*
So do you have a Facebook landing page? Did you know what a Facebook landing page was before you read this? It’s all new to me!
Thank you Myra, love you!!
Wow, this is such a fantastic thing. Love it. I am amazed at how savvy some are and so techy. Not me. I would love a page like this. Thanks for the info and what a jewel Myra is. Hugs, Marty
She is a jewel. :)
This is brand new to me….who knew?? Well, I guess Myra knew! Thanks for sharing and I’ll go right over and like her page so I can see what this is all about…thanks for sharing!
I just created a facebook page for the 1st time a couple weeks ago and had no idea that this was an option. So, thanks for sharing! I googled around and found some tutorials on how to create a landing page on facebook. So, I’m gonna try to follow the tutorial as soon as I have a few minutes of time. Wish me luck! ;)
thank you for sharing! I’m always looking for new ideas to make my fan page hip and fun!
Thanks for sharing this! And also thank you to Myra!! I recently created a fb page but still haven’t figure out with my posts on my blog don’t automatically update there too. I went on my notes to add my blog, it uploaded a few posts and now nothing :(
Hmm, I do mine myself each day. I know some people use Networked Blogs and that’s supposed to put on your FB fan page automatically when you have a new post. But I have no idea if that always works either…
ah-ha – so exciting! Now I wonder if I can actually do this?! Thanks for the tip girls! XOXO
AHHH!!! I LOVE THIS!! I’m heading over to see if she can’t do this for me too! It’s FANTASTIC!!! Myra is INCREDIBLE!! I just ADORE HER!! :)
Am I the only one these days who still refuses to have a facebook page? Oh wait, no, my hubby refuses too. Now my girls, that’s a whole other story! LOL
LOL join the dark side Lauren!
I had seen the page in large companies pages and thought it required an expert. Thanks for the tip! Heading to facebook and my friend Google to see how this is done :)
haha good luck Olga!
This is amazing information. I will have to work on this ASAP! Thank you for sharing (and thank you Myra as well)!
so nice to have talented friends!
I heard about landing pages sometime last year and made myself one. It doesn’t have that 2nd feature once a new fan ‘likes’ the page but it does allow them to click different parts and link them to my blog and etsy site!
Thanks for sharing! I have been creating these for clients for a couple years now. What’s even better is instead of static images, I can incorporate a slideshow into the welcome pages, which makes it a lot more compelling. These are a must have for each facebook page!
I am so new to social networking and sometimes feel so lost!!!!! ( I’m a little like Lauren ) I love the info here and will “like” you and Myra asap. Can’t wait to look into this.
Thanks again for another great tip.
What a fabulous discovery! I didn’t know what a landing page was before this post, but I’ve since created my own for my Facebook page! Thank you so much, and let me know what you think!
Oh Emily. You may have started something here. This is awesome! Poor Myra–she’s probably getting tons of e-mails right now! :) I love how it looks. Kudos to both of you!
Hmmm- you’ve got me thinking…. I don’t have a fb page for my blog – maybe I should start one?!
Wow! That is really a warm welcome!
Thanks for sharing!
