This is Ileane Smith and coming up we're going to talk about Facebook
Timeline for Pages....
They just rolled out
Facebook
profile timelines and I just wanted to share a quick tip with you because this is a
little counter-intuitive
to what we normally think about
Facebook
and by the way this video is the second video in Barry Well's
Internet marketing challenge so today's March the fourth
twenty twelve
They just rolled out these
profiles for our Pages the other day
and the first thing that you might notice
I don't have a "like"
option here
and I'll show you why.
Let's go over to the Starbucks page
Starbucks has the
one of the most engaged pages on Facebook than anyone
and I don't like the Starbucks page not because I don't like Starbucks but
because I really don't drink coffee
I probably should like the page though because I do LOVE their Turkey sandwiches
anyway
See this LIKE
this is the thing that I am telling you guys
get rid of it! you see why
When I click this
I still didn't LIKE the page!
I'd have to come up here and click LIKE again
but look at what I get
I found out all these stats
Now - do I care about their stats? No not really
but look at this
I see that they've had some of their worst performance ever
as of late
and even with a all these changes
they went back up a little but they're no where near what they were
back at the beginning of February
Do you really want your new Facebook fans
seeing these stats
Of course it's not our fault
that engagement has fell off for pages it's Facebook's fault!
And yes it is showing us our friends who like the page
but isn't much more important to have one of our other tabs here? Like for me, I want
people to go to my YouTube. I want people to [watch] my podcast
or sign up for my email list.
So since we have a limited amount of real estate here this one you can't
change and real quickly let me show you how to change it
all you need to do is click here
and
that little pencil come up
and this is where you swap the position.
So I've already swapped it for my YouTube but if you wanted to swap here and put a
different
app there that's what you would do.
okay
So that's a quick tip, like I said I know it's counter-intuitive but THIS is where
people can LIKE your page.
Let me go back to Starbucks
there's already a like button over here
so you don't need this thing - which is even bigger
cluttering up
your valuable real estate
Hey I got another quick little tip I want to give you
before I even give you the tip, I have to give a big shout out to Easy Street
Social
They subscribe to my YouTube channel today so I said let me go
check out some of their videos and they had Facebook Timeline
video tip
that I gonna share with you
right now.
When you're logged in as your profile
go over to your Facebook page okay
I'm logged in as my profile
but I'm on my page
You have access to the admin panel
even when you're a profile
behaving as a profile
what I really like
and this tip - and I'm telling you have been all kinds of things but webinars
since this change and Easy Street Social are the only ones who showed me his tip
and that's why I'm sharing it with you
you get to see all your likes
and this give you an opportunity to go and make friends with the people to have liked
your page. Before you couldn't do that you'd have to - you know -
you'd have to do this whole big convoluted
process in order to get back
to the profile of your new likes. But now all you have to do is click right on them
then you could go ahead and send that person a friend request
or just subscribe to them if you just want to subscribe to them
