Facebook Bonus, maybe

[Alistair Roberts]

For anyone who has or is contemplating creating a Facebook Page (not personal profile), as of today they have added a new button which you can link to a website. This can be a 'Shop Now' button, so if you have anything to sell, it could be useful. But then it is fakebook (as I call it) lol

I'll check that out Alistair. Thanks. It would be about time. I have a business marker page, and a service and chat page connceting to my own website. No-one sees the FB pages except for my regulars unless I buy advertising, which I do at intervals to give things a small push, depending on other workload. Just now and then I offer free readings on a Friday my chat page, but have to spend a few pounds to advertise that the opportunity's there Makes me laugh when I get someone asking for the free reading, which I do there and then, no email required, whilst also asking if I am a scamming trap.

Thanks, Alistair. It's rather confusingly called a 'Call to action' when you go to set it up.

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Not working, not yet anyway. Button's making heavy weather of finding the website.

 

[Alistair Roberts]

Shop now button is working for me. Mind you these things are brought out at different times, depending on what area, as they can't cover the whole planet in one process.

 

[Brian Clegg]

As far as I can tell it worked for me. I can't see my page as an ordinary Facebook user - could someone pop over to http://www.facebook.com/briancleggauthor and tell me if there's a Shop now... button up top?

 

[Alistair Roberts]

Yes it's there Brian and working. I don't know why you can't see it, as I can see mine. There again, we are talking Fakebook, *cough splutter*

 

[Brian Clegg]

Thanks, Alistair. I can see it, but I don't know how to see the 'not the page's owner view' to see if it's up and active.

 

[Katie-Ellen]

What should I search for, Brian? I'll see if I can find it with my outsider's view if you like.

 

[Carol Rose]

I can see it on your page, Brian. When I click on it, it takes me straight to your website.

Thanks for the info, Alistair. I'll have to play with my author page and see if I can get the button to send readers to my website.

Thanks - if you go to http://www.facebook.com/briancleggauthor there should be a Shop Now button on the image at the top.

 

[Carol Rose]

Well that was easy. A few quick steps and it was done.
