How To Create A Facebook Fans Page For Your Blog

11.11.09 by Jerome in Tutorials

To keep in touch with your readers effectively every blogger should have a Twitter account and a Facebook fans page to promote your latest blog posts.

A few days ago I decided to create a Facebook page for PimpMyWordPress.com.  It’s an easy way for Facebook users to keep in touch with your latest blog news, videos, photos,  latest tweets etc…

Unfortunately Facebook doesn’t make it that easy when it comes to creating a fan page so that’s why I decided today to come up with this tutorial.

Step 1

On your Facebook page footer click on the Advertising link.

Step 2

On the Advertising section select the Pages tab on the top

Step3

On the Pages section select the green button Create A Page

Step 4

Select Brand, Product, or Organization –> Website.

Type the Name of your Fan Page and click on the Create Page Button and your Fan page will be created.

Step 5

Now you can start uploading your blog logo.

Step 6

Click on the Edit Page and start to configure and check all the settings.

Step 7

Now it’s time to import all your latest blog posts into you Fans page. On your Tabs click on Notes.

Step 8

Click on the + Write a new note.

Step 9

Next hover your cursor over the small icons on the top right and select the Notes icons.

Step 10

Then click on the link Import a blog.

Step 11

Enter you blog feed and click on the Start Importing button. After previewing the feed click the Confirm Import button.

Step 12

Now that your Fan page has been created it’s time to promote it on your blog. Simply go back to your wall and click the Promote with a fan box link.

Step 13

Now Select the Options that you want to include in your widget and then click on the + Other button.

Step 14

Now you can take the widget script and copy and paste the code where ever you wish on your blog.

Now it’s time to promote your page

Just below is what your widget will look like.
