Tips: Facebook

Have you ever noticed that when you update your Facebook status, but you put a link in it, it actually doesn't show up in your status, and instead lives over in the Links section?

You have a Facebook page, and you have fans who signed up to support you, and now you want to send them messages. But Facebook's less-is-more design approach made it hard to find out how to do that. There may be two ways to get here, depending on if you're looking at a most updated version of Facebook.

METHOD 1:
Under the logo of your business page, there is a link called "Edit Page". It is the first link under your logo when you are on your business fan page.

Click "Edit Page"

A quick and easy way to encourage your fans and potential new fans to interact with your Facebook business page is to 1. let them, and 2. let them see their interaction right away. Here's how to do this:

You probably know this. But the worst is if you think you know this, but actually don't. Your Facebook wall is extremely public to your "friends" you've accepted into Facebook. That includes your cousins as well as networking types you know professionally.

Facebook, sigh, as if the learning curve isn't bad enough to tackle, then you go and change how your most basic uses of it work. One of the best features about the Page was that you could easily upload HTML code, which could contain special designs to set you page apart and make it more useful.
