  • Just wait 2 more days until the new Timeline for Facebook Pages is said to come out, this should change your layout dramatically.RegardsUwe

  • Hi Uwe @uwesiebel

    You are so right!

    Still, hoping for any feedback now and then I am sure in a few days we’ll all have lots of news to swap and notes to compare..

    Thanks for your input – really appreciated.

  • Ok Simon I looked at it and here are my thoughts:

    Change your settings to show everyone instead of just your posts, it’s visible word of mouth advertising.. even if it’s not there yet.
    I suggest shortening your about section so that there is no ‘more..’ button, If someone wanted more info you would want then to go to the info tab on your page, where they can read all about you.
    I am sure that you are personally on Facebook so use the share button on the bottom left, friends and family will help you get to 25 if you ask and when you get there be sure to set your custom url.. everyone forgets.
    When you post an update with an article be sure to delete the original link you used after FB connects your article to your post. It is just unnecessary to have multiple links, and almost all link content is edit-able
    Those links that look like ttp://link.easy-news.com.au/v/443/e792bfa882bc51fa29a50a2f61f5e79023f1f694ea2850 can be shortened to help get your point across without being confusing to readers on your page.
    Hope this helps,

  • @simonjohn You are too generous! You are serving up 3-course-meals on white linen at every opportunity (links to newsletters or blog posts where they need top click through to see.) On FB, people are open to some 3-course-meals, but they also see to react well to a lot of quick coffees and drive-thru fast food. Serve some of it up as one-liners, snappy comments and photos with speech bubbles.

  • @ashleyhydeAshley – Thanks so much for your comments! I have enabled all posts to display (I wondered about that, what I should do and how so thank you!).

    And thank you for the tip on shortening/deleting the duplicates…I wondered about that too….I was not sure if I deleted my original it would remove what Facebook fetches. I will use a URL shortener too.

    Your page is terrific – I am interested to see you have people land on your wall, not a welcome page…..I am inclined to agree with this approach (I know there is a debate about it) but as you make the point to me, better people see all your wall posts and those of your fans rather than splash them onto a sales page. Hummm…others will have a different view but I am with you!

    I liked your page (of course) and an interesting point as a newbie to Facebook is that Liking as my business page does not give you a Like that counts in your stats – so I did both as me and my business page! An oddity I think Facebook needs to address!

    Again, thanks for your time…..

    Simon

  • @abigailgortonThank you! Good point…..I guess I was thinking potential clients would want to take a look at current client’s newsletters just sent – @ashleyhyde makes a good point that I certainly need to remove the duplication in posts like this.

    And I agree with you about short bites too and I will act on this – I guess I did not want to ask questions or make short open comments in case – given I have only a few users at this point – no one replied and the page looked dead, one-way and unpopular!

    Cheers Simon

  • @ashleyhyde ~ Thanks ~ Didn’t know that I could do this:  “When you post an update with an article be sure to delete the original link you used after FB connects your article to your post. It is just unnecessary to have multiple links”

    @abigailgorton ~ good advice :)  

    @simonjohn ~ I have people directed to a custom tab, but on that tab I also have a link to my wall (since some people don’t realize they can look at the wall without clicking “Like”).

  • @simonjohn Your Welcome, Oddly enough I am pro splash page but against like gate. Because making a person like your page in order to see your content is nonsense but having a totally view able splash page allows a business to display current promotions in a way that looks similar to a magazine but with out the “LIKE US” or else part. But specifically with our FB page we decided not to use it because we have soo many other custom tabs. 

  • @dedimason Thanks Dedi for your tip…..I am learning, that is for sure.

    @ashleyhydeThanks for the followup Ahsley….I’ll be really interested to see how the Timeline view changes things and once that happens I will review the options then. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of it too!
