Posting as Your Page in Facebook

in blog, small business owners, social media marketing on 04/29/15

marketing consultation to help grow your business and learn social mediaI had a nice 1-on-1 consultation with a client over the weekend and I was super excited that she was excited and learned so much. She had previously paid someone to do social media services and in some of her questions, she was mentioning how the folks she was paying said she couldn’t do this and that. For example, they indicated that she couldn’t alter her cover picture. It was a beautiful skyline of the area but had open space – perfect for a tagline and her phone number. I showed her how to add text to her cover picture in Canva and/or PicMonkey and the picture looked so much better and is using prime real estate. She’s a realtor and understands that value! 😉

Anyways, we went over all of the basics for her to post to her business page, how often to post, what time to post as well as create like campaigns and boosting posts. We also discussed how important it is to engage not only with folks ON her page, but to actively go out and like other business pages (as her business) and engage on their pages, to include sharing to her business page, commenting and liking. She learned so much and it’s so hard to retain all that information from our 3 hour (yes, three hour) consult, that she reaches out with a few questions here and there.  Well, could you imagine why her brain was on overload? SHE wanted to extra hour, mind you! I guess I am a great teacher! 🙂 Toot toot!

Just today she emailed me… “what am I doing wrong” and said that she couldn’t post from HGTV to her business page, that it kept reverting to her personal page. So, I opened up SnagIt and recorded her a little video and sent it off to her. I didn’t use an audio because they were just a few steps, but sometimes it helps to see what’s going on. Then, I thought, well, other people may be having the same issue, so thought I would share here.

This was a 1 minute video showing me starting from my personal Facebook page, navigating to HGTV, then to use FB as my business from the drop down in the upper right corner in the blue bar and then being able to share from HGTV as my business.

This is just something that might be simple for some but quite helpful to others. Either way, I hope you are able to share with others so they can help engage from their business page, which will help their reach on their business page.

Should you have any questions on social media, engaging on social media or want a 1on1 consult for you and your business to boom, contact AVB, I’d love to help.

    Of course you can help anyone- begginer or advanced. Many people don’t know how to schedule a share from their page, so I would do a video With Sound to teach that.

    What always bothers me is at end of a video- yours too- it doesnt return to start of yours. It went onto someone else’s video. I left it but his voice continued & Id want to find it again but clueless who it is- lost the url. Strange.

      Thanks Roz…and that irritates me about YouTube also.. that’s how they hook you, it is irritating. I’ll check my settings and see if there is a way, but not thinking so. Thanks again!

    Facebook is changing so often that it can be hard and frustrating to keep up! I’m going to check out SnagIt tool. I hadn’t heard of that tool and it looks interesting.

      Girl, no lie.. technology, FB is no exception, always changing. I found it (Snagit) on Cnet and it had good reviews, low cost, because you are buying the software, essentially.

    WOW you are such an awesome teacher! I love how you solve her problems with ease, instead of telling her it “can’t be done” (what a load of BS!!). Your customer service and desire to help your clients succeed is so apparent. I wish her great success in her social media platforms for RE!!

    Nicely done, as always. How interesting that her previous social media “experts” said she couldn’t change her cover image. Duh. Glad you set her right. Thanks for the reminder that we should engage on other business pages from our own fan page. I don’t do that enough.

      Yea, I thought so too Jackie… why CAN’T you add to the cover picture and some other things… crazy how folks don’t take the extra effort!

    Really cool and to the point video, Kristen. I like it that it’s so short, as I’m always learning in small bits 🙂 And never worry that something you teach is too basic, because what’s obvious for you may be totally unknown for someone else!

      Great point.. about the “basics”.. we do that, in our own industry, don’t we!? Thanks for the reinforcement! 😉
