I have a regular Facebook page and an author page (Mary E. Trimble, Author). My regular page says I have subscribers, but I find no button. I especially want a Subscriber Button on my Author page, but I am not finding how to generate it. Can someone tell me how to go about this? Thanks!

@marytrimble I’m not sure you would be able to see the subscribe button on your own profile.

Thank you for responding. I have read these, but for some reason I’m not seeing on my Mary E. Trimble, Author page the choice of having Subscribers or not. On my regular page (Mary E. Trimble) I see Subscribed, but those are people to whom I have subscribed. Maybe I’m dense, but I don’t see how I can give people the opportunity to subscribe to MY page.

Hi Mary,
Because it’s your own account, you won’t see the button but it is located above the apps. There are a few ways people can find your profile to subscribe to your page.
They come to your page and hit subscribe, someone checking out the “people to subscribe to” list - https://www.facebook.com/subscriptions/suggestions finds your profile or occasionally you’ll see on the right hand side of the page above the ads there will be a subscribe suggestion there as well.
There is no real way to promote it other than telling people to hit the subscribe button or running an ad telling people to hit the subscribe button.

Thank you so much for this information. I’m a little overwhelmed by Facebook, but your responses have helped a lot.

@marytrimble, I think the difference lies in your page category. If you are a person (personal page), people can subscribe to your updates. Like this, they can see your public posts even if you didn’t ‘friend’ them.
If you are a (company) page, people can ‘like’ you. There is no subscribe option since it wouldn’t make sense. Like = subscription to updates
Subscribe is the ‘like’ button for people profiles. Like is the ‘subscribe’ button for pages. I hope this makes sense…

@claudiapoeckl, thank you for the clear explanation.In fact, i was also confused by the ‘subscribe’ button until you explained it.
