UNBELIEVEABLE NEWBIE QUESTION (7 posts)

  • As admin to our tiny company’s tiny Fan Page, do I post to the “Home” page, or toggle and post to the “my company’s name” page?  Both?

  • I generally post to my business page, then share that post to my own timeline. Some people who might see a post I’d put up personally may not see something posted by my business unless it was shared by me, personally.

  • You will want to make sure you are signed/Logged in as the Business page first & then post to either wall or home, it won’t matter. 

  • @Dave – I do the same.  Biz first, then share to my personal when it relates. 

  • If you are logged in as you (not using Facebook as “your Page”), when you post on your Home, it posts as you to your friends, in which case, you would need to post directly on your business page in order for the fans to see it.  This is the way that I use Facebook.

    You can use Facebook as your page, in which case either place you post will show up on your page’s wall (or Timeline) and the fans have the chance to see it.

    If you are very active with your own friends, I suggest you use the 1st option.  I do it that way for 2 reasons:  1)  I’m very active with my personal friends, and 2)  I’m running 3 business pages and hate to always switch back and forth between which page I’m using it as.  It’s much easier to have the pages set where I always post ‘as the page’ when I’m on the page.

  • I think that @kathleenrollins has the answer to @barbc‘s question.  If you are logged in as the business (check in the upper right corner) then it really doesn’t matter if you are on the “Home” or on the wall of the Page itself.  Both posts go out to your Fans as your Page.  The Home page, when you are logged in as the business Page, is just the News Feed of the pages you like as your Page. 
    It’s so confusing with all these terms!!

  • Barbara. I sure dont have any suggestions but Im glad to see someone else is comfortable asking the “newbie” questions. Best of luck to you.
