Top 10 Facebook Tips

Bonus Tip Add more than one Admin to your business account This lesson was learned after I was removed as the Admin It took over 3 weeks (and several notarized documentations later) to get back on our Facebook page Therefore adding at least 2 or 3 Admins will prevent you from getting locked out of your business page This is especially important if you only have one Admin What will do you if that person gets terminated or resigns without giving you the access to your page You may have trouble proving to Facebook that itrsquos your programrsquos business page lowast To add more Admins simply click on setting under page roles and

click to add another Admin Please note the new Adminrsquos email you enter needs to be attached to an active Facebook account

lowast If you want to reach consumers having a presence on Facebook is a given But to make the most of your Facebook Page -- to attract and engage visitors drive them to your website and convert them into leads (and eventually clients) -- you need to optimize your Facebook presence

1) Create a business organization Page not a personal profile lowast First things first You need to create a business Page -- not a personal profile

-- to represent your Program Pages look similar to personal profiles but they include unique tools for businesses brands and organizations Your fans can lsquoLikersquo your Page to see updates from you in their News Feeds which is something they cant do for personal profiles

lowast Not only will this maximize Facebooks business potential for you but its actually against Facebooks Terms of Service to use a personal account to represent something other than that person like a business If youve already created a profile for your business youll want to convert it into a Business Page

lowast Setting up a page is simple Just follow the step-by-step setup instructions on Facebook

Top 10 Facebook Tips to get Started

3) Make sure you use your About section -- especially the preview lowast Your About section is one of the first places people will look when

they arrive on your Page A preview of it is located on the left-hand side of your Page beneath your profile picture and people can also navigate to the full section by clicking on the About tab at the top of your Page

lowast Be sure to optimize the preview section on the left side of your Page with brief yet descriptive copy to give visitors a sense of what your Page is about before they decide to lsquoLikersquo you This copy will get pulled from the Short Description you provide within your full About tab

lowast To edit your own About tab click on it hover over the section youd like to edit and click the pencil icon

Top 10 Facebook Tips

2) Add a unique cover photo lowast Facebooks page design lets you feature an 851 x 315 pixel cover photo at the top of your

Business Page You want your cover page to be unique lowast If you donrsquot have access to a graphic designer there are many websites that can help you

create banners I like wwwcanvacom

4) Earn the Very responsive to messages badge lowast If you respond quickly to most users who send you

messages on Facebook then you can earn what Facebook calls a Very responsive to messages badge Youll earn a Very responsive to messages badge which will appear below your Pages cover photo if you have a response rate of 90 and a response time of 15 minutes over the last seven days

lowast If youre responsive to messages but havent quite earned the badge Facebook will still show off how responsive you are to visitors

lowast If youre not very responsive to messages nothing will appear So while its not the end of the world if you dont respond having that badge lets users know your business is listening and cares about their needs

Top 10 Facebook Tips

5) Verify your page You can do this by going into settings under page verification This put the verify check mark next to your business name so folks know this is the actual site and not a fake Facebook page

Top 10 Facebook Tips

6) Prioritize quality over quantity lowast Two questions that come up a lot are How often should I

post to Facebook Will posting more frequently help me reach more people In short the answer is no At the end of the day how visible your posts are in peoples News Feeds comes down to the quality of your posts So dont overwhelm your lsquofansrsquo with content on Facebook and be selective about what youre publishing Spend more time crafting better Facebook posts and less time crafting a lot of Facebook posts Remember Its a marketers job to post content thats interesting entertaining helpful andor relevant to the audience This means picking relevant topics writing delightful copy and posting compelling images and videos

lowast Drive folks back to your website A lot of times people make the mistake of posting hyperlinks to other websites from news or other articles Try and make a point to drive folks back to your website whenever possible

Top 10 Facebook Tips

7) Post at the best times for your audience lowast Another common question Whenrsquos the best time to post to Facebook Unfortunately

theres no perfect answer -- different businesses may find different days and times work best for them Timing often depends on what your target audience uses Facebook for the region(s) youre targeting the content of your post (eg funny or serious) your goals (eg clicks versus shares) and so on

lowast That being said there is data out there on the best times to post on Facebook lowast The best time to post on Facebook is 300 pm on Wednesday Other optimal times

include 1200ndash100 pm on Saturdays and Sundays and 100ndash400 pm on Thursdays and Fridays

lowast Engagement rates are 18 higher on Thursdays and Fridays and weekdays from 100ndash400 pm tend to see the highest click through rates On Fridays Facebook use spikes by 10 Since people tend to be happier on Fridays post funny or upbeat content to match your audiences mood

lowast The worst times to post on Facebook are weekends before 800 am and after 800 pm

Think of this data as a general guideline

Bonus Tip Add more than one Admin to your business account This lesson was learned after I was removed as the Admin It took over 3 weeks (and several notarized documentations later) to get back on our Facebook page Therefore adding at least 2 or 3 Admins will prevent you from getting locked out of your business page This is especially important if you only have one Admin What will do you if that person gets terminated or resigns without giving you the access to your page You may have trouble proving to Facebook that itrsquos your programrsquos business page lowast To add more Admins simply click on setting under page roles and

click to add another Admin Please note the new Adminrsquos email you enter needs to be attached to an active Facebook account

lowast Although some of the younger demographics are passing up Facebook in favor of tools like Instagram and Snapchat Facebook still dominates the market With 109 billion people logging in daily (a 16 increase year-over-year) its still the most popular social network around Not to mention Facebook owns 77 of all social logins

lowast If you want to reach consumers having a presence on Facebook is a given But to make the most of your Facebook Page -- to attract and engage visitors drive them to your website and convert them into leads (and eventually clients) -- you need to optimize your Facebook presence

The father of four founded the group in 2009 following his divorce during a time when he was seeking support and felt he had no one to turn to Nine years later Black Fathers has grown to become a virtual community with over 30000 members13Thousands of parents from around the world are turning to an online group for support and advice on how to raise children on their own creating a community for single parents that one mother even credits for helping lift her and her children out of homelessness

1) Create a business organization Page not a personal profile lowast First things first You need to create a business Page -- not a personal profile

-- to represent your Program Pages look similar to personal profiles but they include unique tools for businesses brands and organizations Your fans can lsquoLikersquo your Page to see updates from you in their News Feeds which is something they cant do for personal profiles

lowast Not only will this maximize Facebooks business potential for you but its actually against Facebooks Terms of Service to use a personal account to represent something other than that person like a business If youve already created a profile for your business youll want to convert it into a Business Page

lowast Setting up a page is simple Just follow the step-by-step setup instructions on Facebook

Top 10 Facebook Tips to get Started

3) Make sure you use your About section -- especially the preview lowast Your About section is one of the first places people will look when

they arrive on your Page A preview of it is located on the left-hand side of your Page beneath your profile picture and people can also navigate to the full section by clicking on the About tab at the top of your Page

lowast Be sure to optimize the preview section on the left side of your Page with brief yet descriptive copy to give visitors a sense of what your Page is about before they decide to lsquoLikersquo you This copy will get pulled from the Short Description you provide within your full About tab

lowast To edit your own About tab click on it hover over the section youd like to edit and click the pencil icon

Top 10 Facebook Tips

2) Add a unique cover photo lowast Facebooks page design lets you feature an 851 x 315 pixel cover photo at the top of your

Business Page You want your cover page to be unique lowast If you donrsquot have access to a graphic designer there are many websites that can help you

create banners I like wwwcanvacom

4) Earn the Very responsive to messages badge lowast If you respond quickly to most users who send you

messages on Facebook then you can earn what Facebook calls a Very responsive to messages badge Youll earn a Very responsive to messages badge which will appear below your Pages cover photo if you have a response rate of 90 and a response time of 15 minutes over the last seven days

lowast If youre responsive to messages but havent quite earned the badge Facebook will still show off how responsive you are to visitors

lowast If youre not very responsive to messages nothing will appear So while its not the end of the world if you dont respond having that badge lets users know your business is listening and cares about their needs

Top 10 Facebook Tips

5) Verify your page You can do this by going into settings under page verification This put the verify check mark next to your business name so folks know this is the actual site and not a fake Facebook page

Top 10 Facebook Tips

6) Prioritize quality over quantity lowast Two questions that come up a lot are How often should I

post to Facebook Will posting more frequently help me reach more people In short the answer is no At the end of the day how visible your posts are in peoples News Feeds comes down to the quality of your posts So dont overwhelm your lsquofansrsquo with content on Facebook and be selective about what youre publishing Spend more time crafting better Facebook posts and less time crafting a lot of Facebook posts Remember Its a marketers job to post content thats interesting entertaining helpful andor relevant to the audience This means picking relevant topics writing delightful copy and posting compelling images and videos

lowast Drive folks back to your website A lot of times people make the mistake of posting hyperlinks to other websites from news or other articles Try and make a point to drive folks back to your website whenever possible

Top 10 Facebook Tips

7) Post at the best times for your audience lowast Another common question Whenrsquos the best time to post to Facebook Unfortunately

theres no perfect answer -- different businesses may find different days and times work best for them Timing often depends on what your target audience uses Facebook for the region(s) youre targeting the content of your post (eg funny or serious) your goals (eg clicks versus shares) and so on

lowast That being said there is data out there on the best times to post on Facebook lowast The best time to post on Facebook is 300 pm on Wednesday Other optimal times

include 1200ndash100 pm on Saturdays and Sundays and 100ndash400 pm on Thursdays and Fridays

lowast Engagement rates are 18 higher on Thursdays and Fridays and weekdays from 100ndash400 pm tend to see the highest click through rates On Fridays Facebook use spikes by 10 Since people tend to be happier on Fridays post funny or upbeat content to match your audiences mood

lowast The worst times to post on Facebook are weekends before 800 am and after 800 pm

Think of this data as a general guideline

Top 10 Facebook Tips

8) Posting Tips lowast Remove links from your post copy When you

post an article from another website please remove the long URL

lowast You have the option to change the photo If you have a bank of photos you can brand certainly go that way instead

lowast Remember to post stories to drive folks back to your website whenever possible

lowast Use the Publishing tools to schedule your Posts This will save you time

Top 10 Facebook Tips

9) Add Facebook social media buttons to your website lowast Adding your Facebook button will help encourage visitors who

are on your website to also connect and interact with you on Facebook as well as spread your content and expand its reach

lowast The Facebook Follow Button lets you expand your Facebook reach by making it easy for your site visitors to Like your business Facebook Page with just one click It displays your pages number of Likes as well as faces of people who already like your page using social proof to amplify its effectiveness

Top 10 Facebook Tips

10) Facebooks Page Statistics lowast Facebook will tell you the number of clicks the button received

in the past seven days You can find this number by logging in going to your main Facebook Page and looking in the THIS WEEK column on the right-hand side

lowast Use Facebook Insights Facebook Insights is Facebooks internal analytics tool that helps you measure and analyze your Facebook presence The Insight button is on the top of your page This tool provides Facebook admins with analytics data about Page visits and engagement which can help you understand which content is and isnt engaging to your fans

Top 10 Facebook Tips

Bonus Tip Add more than one Admin to your business account This lesson was learned after I was removed as the Admin It took over 3 weeks (and several notarized documentations later) to get back on our Facebook page Therefore adding at least 2 or 3 Admins will prevent you from getting locked out of your business page This is especially important if you only have one Admin What will do you if that person gets terminated or resigns without giving you the access to your page You may have trouble proving to Facebook that itrsquos your programrsquos business page lowast To add more Admins simply click on setting under page roles and

click to add another Admin Please note the new Adminrsquos email you enter needs to be attached to an active Facebook account

1) Create a business organization Page not a personal profile lowast First things first You need to create a business Page -- not a personal profile

-- to represent your Program Pages look similar to personal profiles but they include unique tools for businesses brands and organizations Your fans can lsquoLikersquo your Page to see updates from you in their News Feeds which is something they cant do for personal profiles

lowast Not only will this maximize Facebooks business potential for you but its actually against Facebooks Terms of Service to use a personal account to represent something other than that person like a business If youve already created a profile for your business youll want to convert it into a Business Page

lowast Setting up a page is simple Just follow the step-by-step setup instructions on Facebook

Top 10 Facebook Tips to get Started

3) Make sure you use your About section -- especially the preview lowast Your About section is one of the first places people will look when

they arrive on your Page A preview of it is located on the left-hand side of your Page beneath your profile picture and people can also navigate to the full section by clicking on the About tab at the top of your Page

lowast Be sure to optimize the preview section on the left side of your Page with brief yet descriptive copy to give visitors a sense of what your Page is about before they decide to lsquoLikersquo you This copy will get pulled from the Short Description you provide within your full About tab

lowast To edit your own About tab click on it hover over the section youd like to edit and click the pencil icon

Top 10 Facebook Tips

2) Add a unique cover photo lowast Facebooks page design lets you feature an 851 x 315 pixel cover photo at the top of your

Business Page You want your cover page to be unique lowast If you donrsquot have access to a graphic designer there are many websites that can help you

create banners I like wwwcanvacom

4) Earn the Very responsive to messages badge lowast If you respond quickly to most users who send you

messages on Facebook then you can earn what Facebook calls a Very responsive to messages badge Youll earn a Very responsive to messages badge which will appear below your Pages cover photo if you have a response rate of 90 and a response time of 15 minutes over the last seven days

lowast If youre responsive to messages but havent quite earned the badge Facebook will still show off how responsive you are to visitors

lowast If youre not very responsive to messages nothing will appear So while its not the end of the world if you dont respond having that badge lets users know your business is listening and cares about their needs

Top 10 Facebook Tips

5) Verify your page You can do this by going into settings under page verification This put the verify check mark next to your business name so folks know this is the actual site and not a fake Facebook page

Top 10 Facebook Tips

6) Prioritize quality over quantity lowast Two questions that come up a lot are How often should I

post to Facebook Will posting more frequently help me reach more people In short the answer is no At the end of the day how visible your posts are in peoples News Feeds comes down to the quality of your posts So dont overwhelm your lsquofansrsquo with content on Facebook and be selective about what youre publishing Spend more time crafting better Facebook posts and less time crafting a lot of Facebook posts Remember Its a marketers job to post content thats interesting entertaining helpful andor relevant to the audience This means picking relevant topics writing delightful copy and posting compelling images and videos

lowast Drive folks back to your website A lot of times people make the mistake of posting hyperlinks to other websites from news or other articles Try and make a point to drive folks back to your website whenever possible

Top 10 Facebook Tips

7) Post at the best times for your audience lowast Another common question Whenrsquos the best time to post to Facebook Unfortunately

theres no perfect answer -- different businesses may find different days and times work best for them Timing often depends on what your target audience uses Facebook for the region(s) youre targeting the content of your post (eg funny or serious) your goals (eg clicks versus shares) and so on

lowast That being said there is data out there on the best times to post on Facebook lowast The best time to post on Facebook is 300 pm on Wednesday Other optimal times

include 1200ndash100 pm on Saturdays and Sundays and 100ndash400 pm on Thursdays and Fridays

lowast Engagement rates are 18 higher on Thursdays and Fridays and weekdays from 100ndash400 pm tend to see the highest click through rates On Fridays Facebook use spikes by 10 Since people tend to be happier on Fridays post funny or upbeat content to match your audiences mood

lowast The worst times to post on Facebook are weekends before 800 am and after 800 pm

Think of this data as a general guideline

Top 10 Facebook Tips

8) Posting Tips lowast Remove links from your post copy When you

post an article from another website please remove the long URL

lowast You have the option to change the photo If you have a bank of photos you can brand certainly go that way instead

lowast Remember to post stories to drive folks back to your website whenever possible

lowast Use the Publishing tools to schedule your Posts This will save you time

Top 10 Facebook Tips

9) Add Facebook social media buttons to your website lowast Adding your Facebook button will help encourage visitors who

are on your website to also connect and interact with you on Facebook as well as spread your content and expand its reach

lowast The Facebook Follow Button lets you expand your Facebook reach by making it easy for your site visitors to Like your business Facebook Page with just one click It displays your pages number of Likes as well as faces of people who already like your page using social proof to amplify its effectiveness

Top 10 Facebook Tips

10) Facebooks Page Statistics lowast Facebook will tell you the number of clicks the button received

in the past seven days You can find this number by logging in going to your main Facebook Page and looking in the THIS WEEK column on the right-hand side

Top 10 Facebook Tips

Bonus Tip Add more than one Admin to your business account This lesson was learned after I was removed as the Admin It took over 3 weeks (and several notarized documentations later) to get back on our Facebook page Therefore adding at least 2 or 3 Admins will prevent you from getting locked out of your business page This is especially important if you only have one Admin What will do you if that person gets terminated or resigns without giving you the access to your page You may have trouble proving to Facebook that itrsquos your programrsquos business page lowast To add more Admins simply click on setting under page roles and

click to add another Admin Please note the new Adminrsquos email you enter needs to be attached to an active Facebook account

1) Create a business organization Page not a personal profile lowast First things first You need to create a business Page -- not a personal profile

-- to represent your Program Pages look similar to personal profiles but they include unique tools for businesses brands and organizations Your fans can lsquoLikersquo your Page to see updates from you in their News Feeds which is something they cant do for personal profiles

lowast Not only will this maximize Facebooks business potential for you but its actually against Facebooks Terms of Service to use a personal account to represent something other than that person like a business If youve already created a profile for your business youll want to convert it into a Business Page

lowast Setting up a page is simple Just follow the step-by-step setup instructions on Facebook

Top 10 Facebook Tips to get Started

3) Make sure you use your About section -- especially the preview lowast Your About section is one of the first places people will look when

they arrive on your Page A preview of it is located on the left-hand side of your Page beneath your profile picture and people can also navigate to the full section by clicking on the About tab at the top of your Page

lowast Be sure to optimize the preview section on the left side of your Page with brief yet descriptive copy to give visitors a sense of what your Page is about before they decide to lsquoLikersquo you This copy will get pulled from the Short Description you provide within your full About tab

lowast To edit your own About tab click on it hover over the section youd like to edit and click the pencil icon

Top 10 Facebook Tips

2) Add a unique cover photo lowast Facebooks page design lets you feature an 851 x 315 pixel cover photo at the top of your

Business Page You want your cover page to be unique lowast If you donrsquot have access to a graphic designer there are many websites that can help you

create banners I like wwwcanvacom

4) Earn the Very responsive to messages badge lowast If you respond quickly to most users who send you

messages on Facebook then you can earn what Facebook calls a Very responsive to messages badge Youll earn a Very responsive to messages badge which will appear below your Pages cover photo if you have a response rate of 90 and a response time of 15 minutes over the last seven days

lowast If youre responsive to messages but havent quite earned the badge Facebook will still show off how responsive you are to visitors

lowast If youre not very responsive to messages nothing will appear So while its not the end of the world if you dont respond having that badge lets users know your business is listening and cares about their needs

Top 10 Facebook Tips

5) Verify your page You can do this by going into settings under page verification This put the verify check mark next to your business name so folks know this is the actual site and not a fake Facebook page

Top 10 Facebook Tips

6) Prioritize quality over quantity lowast Two questions that come up a lot are How often should I

post to Facebook Will posting more frequently help me reach more people In short the answer is no At the end of the day how visible your posts are in peoples News Feeds comes down to the quality of your posts So dont overwhelm your lsquofansrsquo with content on Facebook and be selective about what youre publishing Spend more time crafting better Facebook posts and less time crafting a lot of Facebook posts Remember Its a marketers job to post content thats interesting entertaining helpful andor relevant to the audience This means picking relevant topics writing delightful copy and posting compelling images and videos

lowast Drive folks back to your website A lot of times people make the mistake of posting hyperlinks to other websites from news or other articles Try and make a point to drive folks back to your website whenever possible

Top 10 Facebook Tips

7) Post at the best times for your audience lowast Another common question Whenrsquos the best time to post to Facebook Unfortunately

theres no perfect answer -- different businesses may find different days and times work best for them Timing often depends on what your target audience uses Facebook for the region(s) youre targeting the content of your post (eg funny or serious) your goals (eg clicks versus shares) and so on

lowast That being said there is data out there on the best times to post on Facebook lowast The best time to post on Facebook is 300 pm on Wednesday Other optimal times

include 1200ndash100 pm on Saturdays and Sundays and 100ndash400 pm on Thursdays and Fridays

lowast Engagement rates are 18 higher on Thursdays and Fridays and weekdays from 100ndash400 pm tend to see the highest click through rates On Fridays Facebook use spikes by 10 Since people tend to be happier on Fridays post funny or upbeat content to match your audiences mood

lowast The worst times to post on Facebook are weekends before 800 am and after 800 pm

Think of this data as a general guideline

Top 10 Facebook Tips

8) Posting Tips lowast Remove links from your post copy When you

post an article from another website please remove the long URL

lowast You have the option to change the photo If you have a bank of photos you can brand certainly go that way instead

lowast Remember to post stories to drive folks back to your website whenever possible

lowast Use the Publishing tools to schedule your Posts This will save you time

Top 10 Facebook Tips

9) Add Facebook social media buttons to your website lowast Adding your Facebook button will help encourage visitors who

are on your website to also connect and interact with you on Facebook as well as spread your content and expand its reach

lowast The Facebook Follow Button lets you expand your Facebook reach by making it easy for your site visitors to Like your business Facebook Page with just one click It displays your pages number of Likes as well as faces of people who already like your page using social proof to amplify its effectiveness

Top 10 Facebook Tips

10) Facebooks Page Statistics lowast Facebook will tell you the number of clicks the button received

in the past seven days You can find this number by logging in going to your main Facebook Page and looking in the THIS WEEK column on the right-hand side

lowast Use Facebook Insights Facebook Insights is Facebooks internal analytics tool that helps you measure and analyze your Facebook presence The Insight button is on the top of your page This tool provides Facebook admins with analytics data about Page visits and engagement which can help you understand which content is and isnt engaging to your fans

Bonus Tip Add more than one Admin to your business account This lesson was learned after I was removed as the Admin It took over 3 weeks (and several notarized documentations later) to get back on our Facebook page Therefore adding at least 2 or 3 Admins will prevent you from getting locked out of your business page This is especially important if you only have one Admin What will do you if that person gets terminated or resigns without giving you the access to your page You may have trouble proving to Facebook that itrsquos your programrsquos business page lowast To add more Admins simply click on setting under page roles and
