Thanks for the tips! I just made the changes you suggested. I don’t remember the last time I went through my Facebook data and updated it, but this was a good reminder to do so. Now my profile is linked with my fanpage, etc. Great video post!
Awesome, Steve! So glad it directly helped you and you took such quick action to implement the change and make it happen. Really, that’s awesome! See you next month at Gold meeting?
Thank you so much, I just went on my facebook page and changed it, I didn’t even know it existed. Really appreciate it.
Awesome tip, Derek. Thank you. I just made the changes. I am not current!
Carolyn – that’s great to hear! So glad the post helped you out so quickly…
I meant I am now current.
Thanks for making that connection perfectly clear, Derek! I GET IT!
So welcome, Cari! Glad it could help you out and thanks for commenting!
Awesome tip Derek!
Just implemented and on a mindset level, it just makes you more focused on what you want to achieve on Facebook.
Thanks for that.
Ashar – that’s a great point. You want to be sure that what you put out is what you want people to receive! Great comment.
Great tips, I’ve made changes now, very quick to do, thank you!
So welcome, Elisa. Glad it could help.
Thank you Derek! I cannot not even count the times I have been to a profile of a fellow business owner without link to their fanpage. Will share and hope that more people add their pages to the About section!
Katrin – thanks for getting the word out. I was so frustrated seeing people making this tiny mistake, which is why I had to get it out there on the video. Enjoy!
I had been struggling with this and finally realized I had to delete my old employer because you’re right, it wasn’t tied to anything when I did it originally.
I’m now happy, thank you! I’ll also be sharing this.
Awesome! So glad it helped you out and you’re willing to share. Thank you!
Hi Derek,
Can you tell me, is it better to have this section linked to your fan page or to your website?
Many thanks
Zara – you can only link it back to your fan page from that section on your profile. In the “About” section you can add your website to the Contact details part.
Hi Derek ~
Thank you for the video!
Can you please tell me how you link a public figure page (as opposed to a business page) to the list of work?
Thanks,
~ Ava
Hi Ava, it makes no difference what kind of page it is that you want to list there (whether it’s corporate fan page, business fan page, etc.) The only one that will show on the profile though is the one selected as most current.
Thank you, Derek! I finally got this to work.
Welcome! Glad you got it…
I did this quite some time ago and does bring more attention to your fan page BUT I just wish Facebook would have never scrapped the ability of emailing fans
True, Caleb. I miss that feature also but the reason they did it was to avoid having their users “spammed” or “messaged” by fan pages they couldn’t control.
Thanks for the tip, Derek! I just went in and made the switch on behalf of a client who recently launched a Facebook page. Very helpful!
Lana – great to hear! So glad it helped you…
It is definitely a challenge to keep up with all of the recent Facebook changes. The details can make all the difference. Thank you for update!
So welcome, Tara! Glad you enjoyed my post…
Thank you again for your help.
Blessings!
So welcome, Minette! Glad you liked it…
Thanks Derek! I’m very thankful for the tip – I had to change my information. This is why I like online networking: everyone works together for community success.
So welcome, Ellen! Glad you liked it and it helped you out… Enjoy!
Hi Derek – This video really cleared up the difference between the personal profile and fan pages. Thanks!
Michael – so welcome! Glad it helped you…
information I find it hard to getdecentadvice out there when it comes to this subject materialthank for the guide
Derek, how do I set up a fan page?
Easy! Just go to https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php?ref_type=sitefooter to get started…
Derek:
I have a business fan page, but I do not have a personal Facebook page. My struggle is that I am unable to like anyone’s page that likes my page. I never set up a personal page because I knew I would not pay as much attention to it as I would need to. How can I increase my business fan page, if I can not “like” those that support my business?
Kim – not sure I understand. Everyone must have a personal profile to even login to FB. You can then create a “page” – whether it’s about you or your business is up to you.
Honestly, I don’t have one. I have a business page and I log in with my business email address and make updates,post events, etc…people like the page. But I don’t have a personal page. Here is the link I used: http://www.facebook.com/business/overview. I went through each step and it never asked me for a personal page to link to. I am really sorry if I am confusing you. But I created the business page based on a seminar I went to and this is the link they provided.
Growing your Facebook page isn’t hard.
But it takes consistency.
You need to focus on providing value for your audience, and then try different tactics to see what works best.
Hi there, all is going nicely here and ofcourse every one is sharing
information, that’s actually good, keep up writing.
